So i need a more optimized way to login and save storageState when the application is using a token to login and it expires after 5 minutes. I can't use the API to login so i need to login through the GUI. A bit more info about the login process, when i first login, the app creates a token, this token is then refreshed when clicking around on the page with another request. What i can understand if i save a sessions using storageState it will not use the updated cookie that sets when refresh token is executed.
So my question is how can I login in another way or how can I update storage state before each test? My code that im not happy with, because it logs in before each test (it becomes very slow, but it works...). I dont want to login before each test.
type TestFixtures = {
ssn: string
login: any,
};
export const test = baseTest.extend<TestFixtures>({
ssn: "username",
login: async ({ ssn, page }, use) => {
await myLogin();
await page.context().storageState({ path: `.auth/user.json`});
}
await use(page);
},
});
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
