Can you guys describe how to update this type of code? It's not longer possible to use the dump_cookiestxt and load_cookiestxt methods

def self.get_cookies(agent)
s = StringIO.new
agent.cookie_jar.dump_cookiestxt(s)
s.string
end

#Load +agent+ with cookies from +cookie_string+
def self.load_cookies(agent, cookie_string)
agent.cookie_jar.load_cookiestxt(StringIO.new(cookie_string)) if !cookie_string.blank?
end

What I used to do was pass around cookies in txt form. How would I rework these functions to be able to do that again?

Try agent.cookie_jar.save(s, :cookiestxt) and agent.cookie_jar.load(s, :cookiestxt) instead, which should keep working in the next major release.

I'll fix compatibility issues including this for 2.7.2. Sorry for inconvenience.

Just committed a fix: sparklemotion/mechanize@723bf70

The next minor release of Mechanize will support the removed methods again.

However, the compatibility layer will be removed soon in 2.8 or 2.9, so I recommend switching to save/load.
Thanks!
