Capybara selenium chrome get cookies

We use :cookie_store for our Rails sessions (Rails 5.1.3), see http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionDispatch/Session/CookieStore.html

Using Capybara::RackTest::Driver in a test, I can get the current session and cookies using

page.driver.request.session
page.driver.request.cookies

But when I use Capybara::Selenium::Driver I only have access to the cookies, not the session, e.g.

page.driver.browser.manage.all_cookies

Is there a way to access the session of the browser using Selenium?

You can access the apps session by installing rack middleware in the test environment. One gem that provides this feature is rack_session_access, however you should really ask yourself why you want to access the session in the first place. Feature/System tests (where Capybara is used) are intended to test the app end-to-end and accessing the session directly is usually a bad smell in those types of tests.
