FAQPage Schema
How do I import real browser cookies into Playwright headless tests?

How do I select which domains to import cookies from for my test?

You select which domains to import cookies from by opening the provided cookie picker UI, choosing the specific domains needed for your authenticated QA tests, and confirming your selection to load them into Playwright.

Does importing cookies into a headless browser work with Chromium?

Yes, importing cookies into a headless browser works with Chromium. The skill specifically extracts and decrypts cookies from your real Chromium browser to enable authenticated testing in the Playwright session.

Why are my imported cookies not working in headless QA tests?

If imported cookies are not working in headless QA tests, it may be due to decryption failures or selecting the wrong domains. Ensure you accurately choose the correct authenticated domains in the picker UI before loading them into Playwright.

What is the best way to simulate a logged-in state for browser automation?

The best way to simulate a logged-in state for browser automation is importing real cookies from your local Chromium browser. This avoids manual logins and enables immediate session continuity for authenticated QA testing in Playwright.
