user.json
File Location in Playwright's Global SetupIf you're having trouble finding the user.json
storage state file during Playwright's global setup, here are a few things to check:
First, make sure the user.json
file is in the right directory. The file path should be 'playwright/.auth/user.json'
. So, the file should be in a .auth
folder, inside a playwright
folder.
Next, ensure your global setup script is correctly setting up and populating the storage state. Here's an example of what this might look like:
import { chromium } from '@playwright/test';
async function globalSetup() {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
// Perform authentication steps here...
const storageState = await page.context().storageState();
await fs.writeFile('playwright/.auth/user.json', JSON.stringify(storageState));
await browser.close();
}
Look for any errors or exceptions during the global setup process. Make sure all necessary dependencies are correctly imported and installed.
Ensure there are no typos or incorrect paths in your configuration file (playwright.config.ts
) and your global setup script (global-setup.ts
).
Finally, check if there are any permission issues. Make sure the directory containing the user.json
file has the right read/write permissions.
By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to locate the user.json
file during test execution. For more tips on efficient Playwright test scripts, check out this blog post.
