FAQPage Schema
How do I import browser cookies into Playwright headless sessions?▼

Import browser cookies into a Playwright headless session by using a cookie picker UI to select domains, decrypting the cookies from your real Chromium browser, and loading them into the running session to enable authenticated testing without re-login.

Can I use my existing Chromium browser cookies for QA testing?▼

Yes, you can use your existing Chromium browser cookies for QA testing across multiple domains. The skill decrypts cookies from your real browser and loads them into the headless session, allowing you to bypass repeated logins during test execution.

Does this skill work if I already have a CDP-connected browser running?▼

If a CDP-connected browser is already detected, the skill avoids unnecessary cookie imports. It recognizes the active real browser connection and skips the cookie extraction process, allowing you to proceed directly with your authenticated testing.

How do I select specific domains when importing cookies for headless testing?▼

You select specific domains for headless testing through an interactive cookie picker UI. After running the skill, the on-screen prompts guide you through choosing the exact authenticated domains you want to load into the Playwright session.

Do I need to manually decrypt Chromium cookies before loading them into Playwright?▼

No, you do not need to manually decrypt Chromium cookies. The skill automatically handles the decryption of your real browser's cookies and manages the Playwright-compatible cookie loading process during the setup flow.
