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

To import real browser cookies into a headless Playwright session, run the cookie-import-browser command to open an interactive domain picker, select your target cookie domains, and load decrypted Chromium cookies for authentication-ready testing.

Can I use Playwright for authenticated QA testing without manually logging in?

Yes, you can use Playwright for authenticated QA testing by importing decrypted cookies and logged-in session state directly from your real Chromium browser, bypassing the need to manually log in during test workflows.

What is the best way to set up authentication testing for selected cookie domains?

The best way to set up authentication testing for selected cookie domains is using an interactive domain picker that imports specific decrypted cookies into a headless browser environment, acting as a logged-in user.

Does importing Chromium cookies into a headless browser require a specific browser binary?

Yes, importing Chromium cookies into a headless browser requires a browse binary installed on your system to run the cookie-import-browser process and load the decrypted session state into Playwright.

Why does domain selection matter when importing cookies for browser automation?

Domain selection matters when importing cookies for browser automation because the interactive domain picker ensures only decrypted cookies and session states from your specified domains are loaded into the Playwright headless environment.
