[Bug]: It looks like you are using Playwright Sync API inside the asyncio loop. Please use the Async API instead.

Version

1.48

Steps to reproduce

I am using the Spyder IDE version 5.5.1 Python 3.9.18 64 bit

My code (not mine originally can be found at --> https://screenshotone.com/blog/how-to-take-website-screenshots-in-python/#playwright-in-python) is as follows:

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def run(playwright):
    # launch the browser
    browser = playwright.chromium.launch()
    # opens a new browser page
    page = browser.new_page()
    # navigate to the website
    page.goto('https://www.511mt.net/#zoom=7.0841341315419255&lon=-107.10223784975705&lat=47.76128392814593&events&road-cond&rwis')
    # take a full-page screenshot
    page.screenshot(path='example.png', full_page=True)
    # always close the browser
    browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)

Expected behavior

I did not expect to get the error show. I expected a screenshot to show up in my folder with the name 'example.png'

Actual behavior

Traceback (most recent call last):

File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder_kernels\py3compat.py:356 in compat_exec
exec(code, globals, locals)

File f:\mx_share\python\ytdownload\untitled1.py:23
with sync_playwright() as playwright:

File ~\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\playwright\sync_api_context_manager.py:47 in enter
raise Error(

Error: It looks like you are using Playwright Sync API inside the asyncio loop.
Please use the Async API instead.

Additional context

I see others have had this issue in Jupyter Notebook. I saw one use recommending the following:

playwright install-deps

I tried that as well with the same results. Not really sure how to proceed.

Environment

- Operating System: [Windows 10 Pro ver 10.0.19045]
- CPU: [Dual X5675 @3.07GHz]
- Browser: [Chrome]
- Python Version: [3.9.18]

After fixing the indentation, this works fine for me on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.10.12 and Playwright 1.48.0.

I cannot reproduce it either with the snippet above.
