Version
1.60.0
Steps to reproduce
- Clone my repo at https://github.com/fwdekker-pc/playwright_python_navigation_interrupted_by_another_navigation_at_second_launch
- Run
- Run
# EITHER
uv run playwright install firefox
# OR
PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_GC=1 uv run playwright install firefox
# OR
$env:PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_GC=1 ; uv run playwright install firefox
- Ensure the directory
profile does not exist:
# EITHER
rm -r profile
# OR
remove-item -recurse profile
- Run
uv run -m playwright_python_navigation_interrupted_by_another_navigation_at_second_launch
- Repeat step 5.
Expected behavior
In both step 5 and step 6, the browser should launch, and after launching is complete, explicitly navigate to about:blank. After all, the main body is:
context = await p.firefox.launch_persistent_context("profile", headless=False)
await context.pages[0].goto("about:blank")Since we're using a persistent context, the profile should be reused when launching again in step 6.
The output of step 6 should be the same as that of step 5, namely: nothing.
Actual behavior
Step 5 runs as intended. However, during step 6, an error is raised with the following message:
Page.goto: Navigation to "about:blank" is interrupted by another navigation to "about:blank"
