Playwright调用Jira Xray RestAPI获sessionId遇认证403/401求助

Your issue stems from Playwright's httpCredentials being designed for browser-level authentication prompts, not direct API requests. Unlike Cypress's auth option which explicitly adds Basic Auth headers, Playwright doesn’t automatically inject these headers into context.request calls. Here are concrete fixes:

Solution 1: Manually Add Basic Auth Header to API Request #

Construct the Authorization header directly to ensure credentials are sent with the API call:

const username = 'username';
const password = 'pwd123';
// Encode credentials to Base64 for Basic Auth
const authHeader = `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${username}:${password}`).toString('base64')}`;

const context = await browser.newContext();
const sessionResponse = await context.request.get('https://jiraserver.example.com/rest/auth/1/session', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': authHeader,
    'Accept': 'application/json'
  }
});

// Validate request success and extract sessionId
expect(sessionResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy();
const sessionData = await sessionResponse.json();
const sessionId = sessionData.session.value;

Solution 2: Use POST Request for Proper Session Creation #

Jira’s /rest/auth/1/session endpoint requires a POST request to create a new session (GET only retrieves existing sessions). Use this flow for correct session ID retrieval:

const context = await browser.newContext();
const sessionResponse = await context.request.post('https://jiraserver.example.com/rest/auth/1/session', {
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  data: {
    username: 'username',
    password: 'pwd123'
  }
});

expect(sessionResponse.ok()).toBeTruthy();
const sessionData = await sessionResponse.json();
const sessionId = sessionData.session.value;

Key Notes #

• Your original httpCredentials setup won’t work for API requests because it targets browser authentication popups, not HTTP headers.
• The Cypress example works because its auth option explicitly injects the Basic Auth header into the request, which we replicate manually in Solution 1.
