I am using the Playwright library to get data from a website. The issue is that website shows a popup when it open which results in stuck processes since the program is not able to get any button due to the popup.

Is there any way to close a popup each time it appears using the playwright?

Closing actual popups

I think browser.once("targetcreated", ...) as described in this issue https://stackoverflow.com/a/57246544/2202112 could be something that you are looking for.

It allows you to setup a callback on newly created targets.

For reference, see puppeteer docs on "targetcreated"

Closing modals

1. Find the selector for the button that dismisses the modal, for example .button-close or .button-dismiss.
2. Use the page.click(selector, [options]) method to click the button before continuing further scraping

As the documentation says Playwright will automatically dismiss all modal dialogs if there are no listeners of "dialog" event. Default behavior is essentially equivalent to

page.on('dialog', dialog => dialog.dismiss());

if it doesn't close in your case, it's most likely not a modal dialog (or a bug in playwright).

If the page opens another popup page, you can follow this guide but from your description it sounds more like a model dialog.
