Where are cookies and localstorage data stored

[pokecheater]

Hey Tauri-Team :),

Since this feature tauri-apps/wry#518 has not been implemented for almost 2 years since the first request, I need a workaround for this. If I can access the cookie storage by myself inside the rust backend everything would be fine, but, inside the docs, I can't find out where they are stored.

I tried to find it out with the following code snippet:

import { appDataDir, dataDir, localDataDir } from '@tauri-apps/api/path';
const appDataDirPath = await appDataDir();
console.log("appDataDirPath", appDataDirPath);

and it states:
[Log] appDataDirPath – "/Users/c3po/Library/Application Support/XXX-app/"

but that path does not exist.

I tried to set a custom data_directory as proposed in tauri-apps/wry#518 but that does not work either since the path gets created but remains empty all the time:

tauri::Builder::default()
        .setup(|app| {
            let path_str = "/Users/c3po/session_data/cookies";
            let data_directory: PathBuf = PathBuf::from(path_str);
            let path_string: String = data_directory.to_string_lossy().to_string();
            let window = tauri::WindowBuilder::new(app, "label", tauri::WindowUrl::App("index.html".into()))
            .data_directory(data_directory)
            .build()?;

            // let cookies = std::fs::read_to_string(path_string).expect("could not read cookies");
            // println!("{cookies}");
            Ok(())
        }) 

Can anyone help me here out?
Thx in advance <3.

/Users/c3po means you're on macos right? We can't control the data dir on macos so that's probably why it's empty, though i would have expected that i won't be created at all.
macos/wkwebview will store its data in /Users/c3po/Library/WebKit//(or appname instead of bundleid intauri devmode). Though i'm not sure what format(s) it uses. On Linux for example cookies are stored as plain text, on Windows it's an sqlite database. There's also/Users/c3po/Library/Cookies/` but i think the webview ones are not part of that, not sure 🤔

I have a code that supports Windows and Mac implementation through PlatformWebview. If you want to implement it yourself, you can refer to it
