FAQPage Schema
How do I import browser cookies for authentication in Playwright?▼

You import browser cookies for authentication by transferring active session cookies from a local Chromium browser into a headless Playwright session. This allows automated testing of authenticated web pages without requiring manual login procedures.

Can I import cookies from Brave or Edge into a headless browser session?▼

Yes, you can import cookies from Brave or Edge because the utility supports major Chromium-based browsers. It detects installed browsers like Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, and Edge to manage cookie decryption and loading into your session.

What do I need to set up cookie import for headless testing?▼

To set up cookie import for headless testing, you need a built version of the 'browse' binary and the 'cookie-import-browser' utility. These dependencies detect local browsers and manage the cookie decryption and loading processes.

How do I import cookies for a specific domain during browser automation?▼

You import cookies for a specific domain during browser automation by using the direct domain import feature. This allows you to specify a target domain directly, loading only the relevant authentication cookies into the session.

Why use imported browser cookies instead of logging in for automated QA?▼

Using imported browser cookies for automated QA allows tests to proceed without interruption from login screens or two-factor authentication. It leverages existing active user sessions from your local browser to instantly authenticate headless testing environments.
