I’ve started getting this error recently: _TypeError: get\_cookies\_for\_url() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)_

Sure enough, from _api/networkkit.py_:

```auto
  def CookiesForURL(self, url):
    """
      Returns the cookies associated with the given URL.
    """
    cookie_jar = self._context.cookie_jar
    cookies = self._core.networking.get_cookies_for_url(url, cookie_jar=cookie_jar)
    if cookies:
      return cookies
    elif cookie_jar:
      return self._core.networking.get_cookies_for_url(url)

```

From _components/networking.py_:

```auto
  def get_cookies_for_url(self, url, cookie_jar):
    if cookie_jar == None: cookie_jar = self._cookie_jar
    ...

```

The `cookie_jar` argument is required and the calling function doesn’t use it .

Searching the forum has given me two really old posts with the same error message:

I haven’t saved the previous Framework folder in order to compare changes, right now the one I have is called `Plug-ins-1bf240a65`. If nothing has changed in these functions above and the code has been as such since long time ago, there must have been something that has switched the code flow of my channel into the other broken if-branch (elif)…

Any ideas?
