[Question] Is there anyway to load cookies?

[A1rkuss]

In Playwright you can load cookies like that:
context = await browser.new_context(storage_state=cookie_file)
Is it possible to do in Botright? I didn't find the solution :(

Also I saw a Discord generator made by you and I have a question, why is it not working? Is the problem with the generator or the captcha-solver? I'm interested because I want to make a bot that enters discord servers with already existing accounts.

You can add cookies via await browser.add_cookies() @ BrowserContext.add_cookies
You cant add a storage_state, as Botright now uses Persistent Contexts, which dont allow for such an option.
However, you can edit the user_data_dir, which botright uses, although this is not recommended. (Ref: PersistentContext user_data_dir).

This Repository is not connected to Dislock (the Discord Generator), if you have any questions about it, open an issue there.

@Vinyzu but the temp dir is always different:

Botright/botright/playwright_mock/browser.py

Lines 80 to 95 in f842900

	if sys.version_info.minor >= 10:
	temp_dir = TemporaryDirectory(prefix="botright-", ignore_cleanup_errors=True)
	else:
	temp_dir = TemporaryDirectory(prefix="botright-")
	temp_dir_path = temp_dir.name
	botright.temp_dirs.append(temp_dir)
	# Spawning a new Context for more options
	if proxy.browser_proxy:
	_browser = await botright.playwright.chromium.launch_persistent_context(
	user_data_dir=temp_dir_path, headless=botright.headless, executable_path=botright.browser["path"], args=flags, chromium_sandbox=True, **parsed_launch_arguments
	)
	else:
	_browser = await botright.playwright.chromium.launch_persistent_context(
	user_data_dir=temp_dir_path, headless=botright.headless, executable_path=botright.browser["path"], args=flags, chromium_sandbox=True, **parsed_launch_arguments
	)

in our case we need to persist the user data so that they can use the same session in the future

how can we do that w/o changing source code of Botright?

We also need to disable default PDF preview so that these files get downloaded natively:

preference = {
            "plugins": {
                "always_open_pdf_externally": True,
                "open_pdf_in_system_reader": True,
            },
        }
        user_data_dir = [our directory]
        preference_dir = os.path.join(user_data_dir, "Default")
        os.makedirs(preference_dir, mode=0o777, exist_ok=True)
        with open(preference_dir + "/Preferences", "w") as f:
            json.dump(preference, f)

And this has to happen before the persistent context is launched.

I have some Updates planned which will make botright more compatible with playwright. Im reopening for now
