Grab the Browserbase debugger URL before your session ends

Grab the Browserbase debugger URL before your session ends

TL;DR

Call sessions.debug with your session id to get a live debugger URL while the run is happening, and keep the session id around to watch the recording at browserbase.com/sessions/[id] afterward. Context: Official docs (Browserbase Playwright quickstart): after creating a session you can call bb.sessions.debug(session.id) to get a live debuggerUrl, a real interactive view into the running browser. It is easy to skip this and wish you hadnt when a run goes sideways.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

When not to use this skill: unrelated tasks. It covers only the procedure above.

Compatibility

The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

Details
