[Bug]: Auth Setup File Not Being Found about playwright

[dgozman]

@joshmgrant Could you please share a full repro with us? I suspect this is related to cwd when you run your tests. The robust solution is to provide an absolute path, for example:

import path from 'path';

test.use({ storageState: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../playwright/.auth/gmail.json') })

[joshmgrant]

Here is my auth.setup.ts file

import * as fs from 'node:fs';
import { test as setup } from '@playwright/test';
import { LoginPage } from './pages/login-page';

// TODO: replace with env vars
const gmailUser = 'some_user"
const outlookUser = 'some_other_user'
const password = process.env.E2E_USER_PASSWORD || ''

// following this approach for multiple user authenications
// https://playwright.dev/docs/auth#multiple-signed-in-roles
const outlookAuthFile = 'playwright/.auth/outlook.json';

setup.skip(fs.existsSync(outlookAuthFile)); // added this based on another ticket to fix the issue
setup('authenticate as Outlook user', async ({ page }) => {
  // Perform authentication steps. Replace these actions with your own.
  const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
  loginPage.loginAs(outlookUser, password);

  await page.context().storageState({ path: outlookAuthFile });
});

const gmailAuthFile = 'playwright/.auth/gmail.json';

setup.skip(fs.existsSync(gmailAuthFile));
setup('authenticate as GMail user', async ({ page }) => {
  const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
  loginPage.loginAs(gmailUser, password);

  await page.context().storageState({ path: gmailAuthFile });
});

@joshmgrant Unfortunately, we cannot repro with just a single file. We need to run the whole example, so need the whole project.

Did you have a chance to try the absolute path suggestion?

[joshmgrant]

Let me try the absolute path suggestion. I can see if I can get a repo but it might take some work.

Hello again. I tried an absolute file path and it doesn't seem to work. I'm also unable to share more than the config file above.

Hello again. I tried an absolute file path and it doesn't seem to work. I'm also unable to share more than the config file above.

In this case we won't be able to help, unfortunately. I'll leave this issue open for a few days, just in case you'd come up with a reproduction.

Looking at the snippet above, it seems like you'd skip both setups, for outlook and gmail, whenever any of the storage state files is present. I'd recommend to read about test.skip in the documentation.
