title: WebDriverIO: Starting Chrome with browser sessions & cookies
body: <p>Is it possible to run a WebdriverIO test case with Google Chrome, without creating a <em>"private Chrome window"</em> (<em>no cache or cookies</em>). </p>
  
  <p>I want to start the Chrome browser I want to use the cookies and cache from Chrome, not a completely default state</p>
  
  <p><strong>Scenario:</strong> I am logging into our back-end on Chrome, which sets a token that I use on my localhost. When I run a test through Webdriverio, it doesn't have the token and I have to go through the login process once more.</p>
  
  <p>So, in the terminal, if I run open <code>http://localhost:3001</code>, Chrome will open the application without needing to log in again.</p>
  
  <p><strong>!Note:</strong> I don't want to go through a login process on my tests... I just want to use the session token stored in Chrome after I login manually.</p>
