Python/Playwright with Dolphin Anty

I love Python

I love Playwright

I love Dolphin Anty

Now that I have qualified my statements (and declared them as constants) I can explain what happened. About a month ago there was an update on the Dolphin Anty side and a strange bug appeared that really threw me down the rabbit hole. My script runs through profiles, changes IP addresses and opens each browser, performs its task and closes it. However, one out of ten times... the browser will open just fine... but then refuse connection. I went up and down the street trying to figure this out. Ultimately I came up empty handed. It appears to be an issue on the Dolphin Anty side and deals with a depreciated function WITHIN the browser itself.

Did I contact Dolphin Anty support? Yes I did. Those people are really nice but they don't seem to know what I'm talking about. Also, I'm not sure just how much communication they have with the actual developers. Although in fairness, I'm not the most articulate of people. So I just created a subscript that ambushes the main process if it should fail and simply "Try again". Now it works great. It amazes me that it took a month for me to figure out just how effective a solution this was.

Sometimes the simplest "try again" solution does the trick when you're up against unpredictable bugs. Props for your persistence it's inspiring for anyone dealing with tricky automation issues. Hope Dolphin Anty addresses it in a future update!
