[Question] Update storageState to refresh token

I’m using Keycloak with a 30min refresh token. My test suite is longer than that and promptly at 30min it fails. I’m following the multiple sign-in roles pattern to generate two json files in my global-setup. Once I discovered the issue I assumed I needed to simply refresh my json files. So I created a method to do that in my utilities:

async saveStorageState(file = 'storageState.json') {
  await this.page.context().storageState({ path: file })
}

I called it in several of my test cases but my tests still fail at exactly 30min. Am I updating the storageState.json correct? Can this be updated outside of the global-setup?

I was unable to get the storageState thing to work so I switched to fixtures and came up with the following:

import { test as base } from '@playwright/test'
// Extend the page fixture to goto the OpenC3 tool and wait for potential
// redirect to authentication login
export const test = base.extend({
  toolPath: '/tools/cmdtlmserver',
  page: async ({ baseURL, toolPath, page }, use) => {
    page['utils'] = new Utilities(page)
    await page.goto(`${baseURL}${toolPath}`, {
      waitUntil: 'networkidle',
    })
    // Check to see if we redirect to authenticate
    if (page.url().includes('/auth/')) {
      await page.locator('input[name="username"]').fill('operator')
      await page.locator('input[name="password"]').fill('operator')
      await Promise.all([
        page.waitForNavigation(),
        page.locator('input:has-text("Sign In")').click(),
      ])
      await page.context().storageState({ path: 'storageState.json' })
    }
    await use(page)
  },
})
export { expect } from '@playwright/test'

@aslushnikov Does playwright cache or otherwise use the same storageState file given in the global-setup or does it re-read it each time it creates a new browser context?
