Research direction

Start by reading TestPlans/lhconfig.js and /lighthouse/index.js, then compare their Lighthouse configuration with the Docker command's cookie and emulation options. Reproduce the authenticated run and determine whether the cookie is reaching Lighthouse and whether desktop and network settings are honored.

Description

Hi Team,
I am using docker sitespeed latest Plus 1 docker image to include sitespeed tests and accessibility tests using Lighthouse plugin. Test urls are saved in .txt file and passing cookie for sitespeed.io on command. But for lighthouse i am unable to send cookie from command. I am using below command.

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/sitespeed.io" sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:29.7.0-plus1 TestPlans/APPURLs.txt -n 2 --browsertime.video false --axe.enable --config TestPlans/PageSummaryConfig.json --cookie Jsession=${COOKIE} --plugins.add analysisstorer --plugins.add /lighthouse/index.js --lighthouse.config TestPlans/lhconfig.js ----plugins.remove /gpsi/lib/index.js --outputFolder ./sitespeed-result

Sitespeed results are proper pages. But Cookie is not passing to Lighthouse and page is redirecting to login screen and getting accessibility metrics for that page which is not expected. Also Lighthouse is testing with mobile option. How to do emulation with desktop and network emulation is based on system network.

Could you please help me.
