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

You can import browser cookies into Playwright by executing a browser-specific import utility that transfers active session data from local Chromium-based browsers into your headless session for authenticated testing.

Can I import cookies from Brave or Arc into a headless browser for testing?▼

Yes, you can import cookies from Brave, Arc, Chrome, Edge, and Comet by executing the browser-specific import utility to transfer session data directly into your headless browser testing environment.

How do I test authenticated pages in headless browser mode without manual login?▼

Testing authenticated pages in headless mode without manual login requires importing active session cookies from your local Chromium-based browser into the headless session to maintain the authenticated state.

Is it possible to target specific domains when importing cookies for web testing?▼

Yes, you can target specific domains when importing cookies for web testing by using the optional direct domain specification feature to retrieve only the session data needed for your authenticated QA tests.

What are the limitations of using imported browser cookies for headless testing?▼

A limitation of using imported browser cookies for headless testing is that session validity depends entirely on the original browser's active login state, meaning expired local sessions will cause unauthenticated headless tests.
