session-storage

I'm writing Java based selenium-webdriver tests. The app that I'm testing sets certain values in storageSession e.g. sessionStorage.setItem("demo", "test") , how can I check and assert the value of the stored variable demo inside my test Found a great utility class https://gist.github.com/roydekleijn/5073579 import org.openqa.selenium.JavascriptExecutor; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; public class LocalStorage { private JavascriptExecutor js; public LocalStorage(WebDriver webDriver) { this.js = (JavascriptExecutor) webDriver; } public void removeItemFromLocalStorage(String item) { js
