[BUG] Failed to load extension (.NET)

does loading extension still work?

because it seems that its prefixing google chrome path from the actual extension path which makes it fail.

Im getting this error when launching playwright.

---------------------------
Error Loading Extension
---------------------------
Failed to load extension from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\108.0.5359.125\"D:\Projects\.NET Shared Codes\scraptest2playwrite\scraptest2playwrite\bin\Debug\chrome-extensions\ublock-origin-lite-chrome". Manifest file is missing or unreadable
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

its prefixing chrome path *C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\108.0.5359.125* from my actual extension path.

heres the command line i used in loading;

--disable-extensions-except="D:\Projects\.NET Shared Codes\scraptest2playwrite\scraptest2playwrite\bin\Debug\chrome-extensions\ublock-origin-lite-chrome" 
--load-extension="D:\Projects\.NET Shared Codes\scraptest2playwrite\scraptest2playwrite\bin\Debug\chrome-extensions\ublock-origin-lite-chrome" 

' lstArgs here contains the command line above;

        Dim config As New BrowserTypeLaunchPersistentContextOptions
        With config
            .Channel = "chrome"
            .Locale = "en-US"
            .Headless = False
            .Devtools = True
            .DownloadsPath = Path.GetFullPath(".\chrome-downloads")
            .Args = lstArgs
            .IgnoreDefaultArgs = {"--disable-extensions"}
            .JavaScriptEnabled = True
        End With
        
        Dim PL = Playwright.CreateAsync().Result
        Dim browser = PL.Chromium.LaunchPersistentContextAsync(Path.GetFullPath(".\chrome-data"), config).Result

Im using .net 4.6.1, and 1.28.0 version of playwright nugget,

anyone?

Yes it should work, did you see the error? Manifest file is missing or unreadable

The following works for me, it contains spaces and brackets:

using Microsoft.Playwright;

using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
var extensionPath = "C:\\Users\\maxschmitt\\development\\playwright-dotnet\\src\\Playwright.Tests.TestServer\\assets\\simple-extension (81)";
await using var context = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchPersistentContextAsync("", new(){
    Headless = false,
    Args = new[] {
        $"--disable-extensions-except={extensionPath}",
        $"--load-extension={extensionPath}"
    },
});
await context.Pages[0].PauseAsync();

Looks like in your case the issue is that you did not escape the slashes.

FINALLY it works… lol case solved. thanks…
