How come the Gmail signin works fine within the test method, but doesn't work from globalSetup.ts file? If running with chrome in headless mode. Any idea how to fix it? <#1054804523652231198>

Try with Firefox, if it doesn't have to be Chrome.

Running in Firefox worked, but is there a way to make it work with chromium as well?

mookiept

it's tricky. I take it you're not testing the google login? so perhaps you can consider storing the session with firefox and then run on chrome with the same stored session, that would work.

i think google login not allow bot or automation kind of testing

probably easier for google to detect automation when it's chromium/chrome when compared to firefox 🤷
