How to clear cookies in Capybara tests (both Selenium and Rack::Test)

Capybara drivers will usually delete all cookies after each scenario. If you need to lose cookie data in the middle of a scenario, you can do this:

browser = Capybara.current_session.driver.browser
if browser.respond_to?(:clear_cookies)
  # Rack::MockSession
  browser.clear_cookies
elsif browser.respond_to?(:manage) and browser.manage.respond_to?(:delete_all_cookies)
  # Selenium::WebDriver
  browser.manage.delete_all_cookies
else
  raise "Don't know how to clear cookies. Weird driver?"
end
