FAQPage Schema

How do I import cookies into a Playwright or Puppeteer headless browser session?▼

To import cookies into a headless browser session, you need a running Playwright or Puppeteer session and a local Chromium browser profile. Use the interactive cookie picker UI to select domains and load real authentication cookies for automated tests.

Can I simulate authenticated user access in automated tests without manual login?▼

Yes, you can simulate authenticated user access by importing per-domain cookies from your real Chromium browser profile into the headless session. This bypasses manual logins during QA testing workflows.

Does this cookie import method work across all browsers or just Chromium?▼

Cookie import works specifically across Chromium-based browsers. It requires a local Chromium browser profile to extract the authentication cookies and a running Playwright or Puppeteer session to load them.

How do I select specific domains when loading cookies for QA testing?▼

You select specific domains using the interactive cookie picker UI. Simply ask to import cookies to launch the picker, then choose the desired domains to load their corresponding authentication states into the headless browsing session.

What's the best way to handle login states in headless browser automation?▼

The best way to handle login states in headless automation is importing cookies from a local Chromium profile. This one-time setup and per-session cookie loading approach eliminates the need for scripted manual logins in your test suite.

Do I need a running Playwright session to use the interactive cookie picker?▼

Yes, a running Playwright or Puppeteer session is required. The cookie picker UI loads extracted cookies directly into the active headless browsing context to establish the authenticated session for testing.
