ERROR: Error caught on signal handler: <bound method ScrapyPlaywrightDownloadHandler._engine_started. What is reason behind it?

Question

Every time I am trying to execute the code, I am facing this error. I am using scrapy-playwright. It is also not able to launch the browser. What is the reason behind this and how to solve this issue?

Answer 1

Install these first

playwright

scrapy-playwright

Scrapy

And then run in the terminal

playwright install (This will install the driver required for playwright)
