[Bug]: useProfile usage

[Wizzzz]

Describe the bug Hello, I would like to use a profilte that I created later, but I got the following error:

stack: 'Error: “Custom IP information function” parameter is not a function.\n at C:\Us\***\Documents\dev_project\automation\\node_modules\browser-with-fingerprints\src\plugin\connector\index.js:55:15'

Code example

Expected behavior stack: 'Error: “Custom IP information function” parameter is not a function.\n at C:\Us\***\Documents\dev_project\automation\\node_modules\browser-with-fingerprints\src\plugin\connector\index.js:55:15'

System (please complete the following information):

• Plugin version: 2.0.3
• Node version: 20.9.0

Can you please attach the proxy.txt file from your profile folder?

[Wizzzz]

It's pyproxy rotation proxy, i can send u email Username if u want try

[CheshireCaat]

I don't need to check the proxy itseld, it would be better to check the file - you can send it to the mail likangt2012@gmail.com. Or write what value the ip_info_method parameter has in the file inside your profile.

[Wizzzz]

Oh my bad

the content:

{ "server": "**", "Port": "**", "IsHttp": true, "name": "**", "password": "**", "DetectExternalIp": true, "ChangeGeolocation": true, "ChangeWebrtcIp": true, "ChangeTimezone": true, "ChangeBrowserLanguage": true, "ip_info_method": "database", "ip_api_key": "", "ServiceURL": "", "IpExtractionParam": "", "IpExtractionMethod": "raw" }

[CheshireCaat]

I can't reproduce the problem. Please attach the code example that causes the bug.

[Wizzzz]

I'll make a sample code with the profile and proxy that I'll email to you. But I was wondering, isn't there a way to launch the profile by hand? Because basically what I want to do is generate profiles with playwirhgt-with-fingerprints but in the future I want to use the profile by hand. Is the only way to reuse the profile to use the package or can I do it directly without?

[CheshireCaat]

You probably can try to use profile, for example, in default chromium browser, but in this case there will be no way to use proxy and fingerprint.

[Wizzzz]

Ah well, I'd like to have proxy and fingerprint, I'll email you my sample code.

[CheshireCaat]

By the way, there is an option to use profiles manually, but you need a service key for this. There is a separate FingerprintManager application that allows you to work with profiles manually. It probably should correctly work with profiles from this plugin.

[Wizzzz]

But it's perfect, just what I needed. Thank you very much.

However, I've just done a test, but when I create my profile with playwright-with-fingerprints, create the account on the site and open fingerprintmanager, my account is no longer connected.

Doesn't profile generation store history/cookies/localstorage?

[CheshireCaat]

I think this is possible due to the difference in browser versions, try using the same versions. For example, I have now tried to install the 128 version for the plugin and use the same one in the manager - the sessions work correctly:

plugin.useBrowserVersion('128.0.6613.85');

[Wizzzz]

I just did the following code but it doesn't work either, I'm not logged in when I open fingerprint manager :

const device = {
    tags : this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.tags || [“Microsoft Windows”, “Chrome”],
    timeLimit : “ 15 days ”,
} ;

// retrieve fingerprint
plugin.setServiceKey(this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.fingerprintSwitcherKey) ;
const fingerprint = await plugin.fetch(device) ;
const args = this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.args || [] ;
plugin.useFingerprint(fingerprint) ;
plugin.useBrowserVersion("128.0.6613.85”) ;
await plugin.launchPersistentContext(this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.profilePath, {
    key : this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.fingerprintSwitcherKey,
    headless : this.instanceOptions.browserOptions.headless,
    args,
}) ;

Yet I'm closing with the browser's close method, maybe that's why?

[CheshireCaat]

1. It's not critical, but it's better to change browser version for plugin before all logic (fetch and launch).
2. How do you add a profile to the manager? Are you transferring it to a folder with profiles?

[Wizzzz]

So I couldn't find a button on the gui to import a profile, so I made a copy of my folder generated by playwright-with-fingerprints in the BASProfileManager folder.

[CheshireCaat]

It's should be OK, what version of FM did you use?

[Wizzzz]

The last one I've just installed.

[CheshireCaat]

I'm unable to reproduce the problem, here is my code:

import path from 'path';
import { plugin } from 'playwright-with-fingerprints';
import { SERVICE_KEY, WORKING_FOLDER } from './config.js';

const profile = path.resolve('./profile');

plugin.setServiceKey(SERVICE_KEY);
plugin.setWorkingFolder(WORKING_FOLDER);
plugin.useBrowserVersion('128.0.6613.85');

plugin.useProfile(profile, {
  loadFingerprint: true,
  loadProxy: true,
});

await plugin.launchPersistentContext(profile, { headless: false });

I log in, close the browser, then move the profile folder to the FM profiles folder, launch the program, open the profile and everything works correctly.

[Wizzzz]

It's really strange, I can't figure out what's going on, here's my full code and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

My procedure for testing is to open the browser with my code, connect by hand to a gmail account, press enter to close the browser and go to fm to open the profile.

Except that when I arrive on the profile with Fm, well I'm on google.com but not connected :(

require("dotenv").config();

const { plugin } = require("playwright-with-fingerprints");
const key = process.env.FINGERPRINT_KEY;
const path = require("path");
const profilePath = path.resolve("C:\\Users\\Admin\\AppData\\Local\\BASProfileManager\\myprofile");
const pathToEngine = path.resolve("C:\\Users\\Admin\\Documents\\dev_project\\automation\\automation-aio\\data");
const readline = require("readline");

(async () => {
    plugin.setServiceKey(key);
    plugin.useBrowserVersion("128.0.6613.85");
    plugin.setWorkingFolder(pathToEngine);

    plugin.useProfile(profilePath, {
        loadFingerprint: true,
        loadProxy: true,
    });

    const browser = await plugin.launchPersistentContext(profilePath, {
        key,
        headless: false,
    });
    await browser.newPage();

    console.log("Press enter to close");
    const rl = readline.createInterface({
        input: process.stdin,
        output: process.stdout,
    });

    rl.on("line", async () => {
        console.log("Close browser ...");
        await browser.close();
        rl.close();
    });
})();

@Wizzzz how did you check that you are not connected?

I just tried your code:

1. My account appeared on the Google homepage after restarting the code and opening the profile inside FM.
2. After opening the Gmail website I saw this:

3. I just pressed the Login button and everything is fine:

[Wizzzz]

Here's a demonstration of how to use the code:

[CheshireCaat]

You should use FingerprintManager3, judging by your video, you are using an old version - it uses a very old browser version, and the version of the engine itself is also outdated.

You can find the latest version here.

[Wizzzz]

Oh dear, I used the link available in the bablosoft forum, I didn't know there was another link on the profile.

Indeed now it works better, thank you very much and really sorry for the inconvenience

[CheshireCaat]

@Wizzzz great, will wait for your ticket-related example.

[Wizzzz]

@CheshireCaat Thank you, I've sent you an email with an example so you can see my problem.
