I’m using this code I found on this page to save browser context after running the code:
user_dir = '/tmp/playwright' with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch_persistent_context(user_dir, headless=False) page = browser.new_page()
But when I try to change the directory from the /tmp/playwright
folder, which is created in C:
, to the current folder where I’m running the code (user_dir = './tmp/playwright'
), the two folders are created but the playwright folder has nothing inside!
Does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks in advance!

Playwright does not play well with relative paths, use os.getcwd()
instead. Also, note that you don’t need to ensure that directories exist, playwright creates them automatically if they don’t.
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright import os user_dir = 'tmp/playwright' user_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), user_dir) with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch_persistent_context(user_dir, headless=False) page = browser.new_page() page.goto('https://playwright.dev/python', wait_until='domcontentloaded')
