FAQPage Schema

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

To import cookies into a Playwright headless browser session, use an interactive picker to select specific cookie domains from a real Chromium browser. The tool decrypts and loads these cookies directly into the test context to simulate an authenticated state.

How can I test authenticated pages in headless QA without manual login?▼

You can test authenticated pages in headless QA without manual login by loading decrypted cookies from a real Chromium browser into the test session. This simulates a logged-in state for deterministic QA testing of protected site flows.

Does importing cookies into a headless session work with Chromium browser profiles?▼

Yes, importing cookies into a headless session works with real Chromium browser profiles. The process decrypts cookies directly from the local Chromium installation and applies them to the Playwright browser context for testing.

Can I choose specific cookie domains to load into a headless test session?▼

Yes, you can choose specific cookie domains to load into a headless test session using an interactive cookie picker. This allows you to select exactly which domains to import before applying them to the browser context.

Why do I need to set up cookies before QA testing authenticated pages?▼

You need to set up cookies before QA testing authenticated pages to simulate a logged-in state without manual login. This ensures deterministic QA by loading decrypted cookies from a real browser into the headless session.
