I have some playwright code that runs perfectly in VS code on my windows machine. However when I import the code to Pipedream I get several errors regarding the locators used. Why can’t Pipedream see the same locators as my VS Code instance?
It’s possible that the issue you’re encountering with locators in Pipedream versus your local VS Code environment could be due to a few different factors. Here are some potential reasons and steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Different Environments: The execution environment in Pipedream may differ from your local setup in VS Code. Ensure that the versions of Playwright and any related dependencies are the same in both environments. 2. Headless vs. Headed Mode: Playwright can run in headless (no browser UI) and headed (browser UI visible) modes. If your local tests are running in headed mode, try running them in headless mode to see if the issue persists. 3. Page State: The state of the page when Pipedream runs your code might be different from when you run it locally. This could be due to network conditions, dynamic content loading, or other asynchronous operations. 4. Selectors: Ensure that the selectors you’re using are not environment-specific and that they target elements that are consistently available across different runs. To help you further, I would need to see the specific errors and the code you’re using. If you’re comfortable sharing that, please provide the error messages and the relevant parts of your Playwright code. This will allow me to give you more targeted advice. If you continue to experience issues and need more in-depth support, you can visit Pipedream’s support page for additional help.
Is there a tool for recording user sessions in playwright that works best with the Pipedream environment? I used VS Code to record a session, but perhaps it’s not the most compatible?
