How to stop closing browser

[hackerpayne]

I start one chrome browser at cdp port 40000

i use PLAYWRIGHT_CDP_URL = "http://localhost:40000" in my setting file

but every time scrapy start to work,

it will create new browser,and does't use my openning chrome.

hope someone can help solve this.

In my python code,i use
context = browser.contexts[0] if browser.contexts else browser.new_context()
page = context.pages[len(context.pages) - 1] if context.pages else context.new_page()

to keep opening in one page to work and keep chrome always running.

This is expected, scrapy-playwright will connect and start a context of its own to avoid interfering with other workloads. Unless there's a very strong argument in favor of changing to use the existing context, this will remain the case.
