playwright: Chrome headless (persistent) doesn't save/load cookies on windows
On Windows, headless chrome can’t read cookies from a userdatadir. It is specific to cookies, localStorage works. The Default\Cookies file exists, and is a valid SQLite table, but it has no rows. Launching with headful, I can see the cookie in the SQLite file, but launching headless chrome afterwards clears the file again, and doesn’t read the cookie.
Possibly related to, Puppeteer/Puppeteer#4111, but where that was flaky, this is consistently broken.

I’m also experiencing this and it’s a bit frustrating 😄
On Linux/MacOS, I do see that it stores session storage is created with headless mode. However on Windows 10, there’s like 1 file in the ‘user-dir’ folder I specify.
Not sure if anyone has a workaround, if I find one I’ll try to post it here.
Same issue on headless Ubuntu Bionic, but with Webkit. The browser context has no cookie, won’t set them after receiving a Set-Cookie header response, and I can’t set them manually neither.
@meotimdihia maybe you just got lucky on Ubuntu with an older version of Chromium installed? I cannot get cookies from my
—user-data-diron either Windows or Ubuntu to work when in headless mode.We need a solution for this issue please
Cookies are missing when running playwright with headless mode enabled. Happened at Chrome 103.0.5060.114 on macOS Big Sur Version 11.6 with M1 Chip.
