Troubleshooting For Playwright

This section outlines solutions for common problems encountered while using Playwright.

Error while executing the REST API - "Error in execution request: only DEFLATED entries can have EXT descriptor"

This error occurs when the ZIP file used for the Playwright project is not properly formatted.

The macOS built-in "Compress" feature creates ZIP files that might not always adhere strictly to the DEFLATE method, especially if the files are already in a "stored" state or contain extra metadata.

To resolve this, you can zip the project by running the following commands in Terminal:

cd <path-to-inside-your-project>
zip -r ../<project-name>.zip *  

for example:

cd <project-path>/Project_GC/
zip -r ../Project_GC.zip *
