Cookie not being set in Chrome versions > 80 with ngx-cookie-service 2.4.0

Expected Behavior

Using ngx-cookie-service 2.4.0, when a cookie is being set with key, value, Chrome browser should set the cookies in all browsers. this.cookieService.set(‘runOffline’, ‘true’);

Actual Behavior

No cookie is being set in the chrome browsers with version > 80(the latest version).

Reason

For some reason there are other libraries that are creating cookies and the cookies found in document.cookie does not start with a space. So setting a cookie in this condition does not actually set the cookie.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Just download the latest version of chrome and set the cookie

Specifications

• Version: 2.4.0
• Browser: Chrome Version 80.0.3987.132
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Set the cookie the traditional way by leaving a space initially eg.

document.cookie = " runOffline=true; " + document.cookie

Notice the space in the beginning for some reason works well.

Version 3.0 still doesn’t work

macOS, Chrome Version 80.0.3987.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)

temporary fix: pass all arguments when setting a new cookie. this.cookieService.set(‘name’, ‘John’, null, null, null, null, null);

@stevermeister yes it should fix it.

But in the case where a cookie is set with the samesite = none (via the cookieService.set method) the secure flag always has to be set. So I don’t know if ngx-cookie-service should override the secure flag if mode is none

Doing this will result with a reject from the browser :

this._cookieService.set(
cookieName,
cookieValue,
expirationDate,
'/',
someData,
false, <- secure flag
'None' <- sameSite property
);

Doing this will work

this._cookieService.set(
cookieName,
cookieValue,
expirationDate,
'/',
someData,
true, <- secure flag
'None' <- sameSite property
);

Doing this will work

this._cookieService.set(
cookieName,
cookieValue,
expirationDate,
'/',
someData,
true, <- secure flag
'Strict' <- sameSite property
);
