How to delete session cookie in Postman

Question

I am testing my API in Postman and am having trouble simulating a log out   If I do a call to delete the session cookie   the session cookie is still there afterwards  and I m still able to access routes that require authentication   The route handler on the server is     server route       method   DELETE       path    sessions  current       handler  function req  reply         req auth session clear          reply     code 204                 This is Node js with Hapi but it shouldn t matter   Is there a way to delete all the cookies in Postman or certain cookies manually

Manually deleting it in the chrome browser removes the cookie from Postman   In your chrome browser go to chrome   settings cookies  Find the cookie and delete it  Edit  As per Max890 comment below  in my version of Google Chrome  ver 63   this is now chrome   settings content cookies Then go to  See all cookies and site data   Update for Google Chrome 79 0 3945 88  chrome   settings siteData search cookies

You can use the Postman interceptor That you can add into the chrome extension by this link https   chrome google com webstore detail postman-interceptor aicmkgpgakddgnaphhhpliifpcfhicfo  This helps you send requests which use browser cookies through the Postman app   It can also send headers which are normally restricted by Chrome but are critical for testing APIs   And also you can enable by interceptor which is there beside the orange sync icon
