I genuinely don't know how to dig more at this stage 😬

Let me know if I can help on anything 👍

It appears that this is a recurring issue, probably related to timeouts:

• [BUG] Getting browser.newContext: Target page, context or browser has been closed error microsoft/playwright#21875
• [Question] why im getting browser.newContext: Target page, context or browser has been closed microsoft/playwright#13038

Would you be able to play-around with timeouts as suggested here to see if it fixes the underlying issue?

[rmasclef]

hey !! I'm really sorry for the delay, I did not check my notifications until today 😨

I'll check and let you know 🙏

I'm having this same issue with any custom browser executable. Whether I use existing firefox or vivaldi (chromium) the window starts to open and then closes with:

INFO[0000] Setting browser executable path: /Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi  provider=browser
Error authenticating to IdP.: could not send message: Page closed

If I just use the chromium version that downloads by default with --download-browser-driver it works just fine.

[rmasclef]

hey ! Just a quick heads-up to tell that I still did not took the time to play with the timeouts as suggested.

[rmasclef]

if I add this code to handle browser timeout

I get the following error

Maybe this is not the option you want me to check @mapkon ?

[rmasclef]

here is what I have in console :

@mapkon let me know when you have time to dig with me 🙏
