Thank You Koushik. It is really a great idea and it's helpful.

Hello Koushik, I'm sorry to write this in comment but I don't know how I can talk to you otherwise, I'm the guy with the problem of uplloading. I find your videos very interesting and thank you for those tutorials. I'm trying to test if a button of copy is working on my page but I don't know how to see what's in my clipboard once I clicked on copy.

Thank you for your help, tou're the boss.

Great Video, Its easy to setup but having a quick question how are you handling when the cookies expires after sometime as they have expiry time

[yflako]

Hello Koushik, is there a way we could add this to an before each hook so I do. Or need to type all of this into all of my test cases?

[srpotqn]

This is great koushik! Thank you. As I test several apps in my current repo, can store more than one auth.json? Just by naming them differently I assume? auth1.json, auth2.json etc

[StefanoGabriele]

Hi all, is it possible to call an api to get a token, save it in the session storage, and navigate the application? My problem is that the application needs a token from a SSO and I didn't find how to deal with it. Thanks!

Has anyone else had problems with cookies? They are not being written in the browser context, but
if I run "console.log(await context.cookies())" the cookies are shown in the terminal...

[ebgwbkf]

Clear Cut Explanation, but i have a doubt.
Can i use multiple cookies in same auth.json file. will it work or is there any other procedure

[barbaroscelik]

It works great but I need some help. I have put this code in a test.beforeeach and then tried to run my first test. However, after it logs in perfectly, it doesn't run my first test. I think it happens because the first test is test('"test1', async ({ page }) => { and here it doesnt reference to the same page as it did in test.beforeeach. How can I solve this? It opens a new page and the new page is of course blank.

We have a requirement to test email content ?Doest playwright supports this feature? I had googled it but was not able to find a proper one. It would be great if you suggest me regarding this. Thank you in advance

[wrxqgkv]

Hey Koushik, Thank you for this video. I have few queries... If I want to log in to different test files using different login credentials, should I create a separate auth.json for each test file?
And if I want to log in to a single test file using different login credentials, how should I do this?

Could you please guide me?

[srpotqn]

Hi Koushik,

const page = await context.newPage();
const ctxt = page.context();
ctxt.storageState()

What does this piece of code do in the test?

[dragon]

awesome 😊,
how can we know if the cookie is expired or not ?
or we have to check the element wiht the login if it's present, thanks

[fernandomdcn]

Thank you, Koushi. I have a question: when I log in to google, I get the following message: "This browser or app may not be safe" error when trying to log in with Google in desktop apps. I'm using python
