}What issue are you seeing?
I was creating a job portal project and it crashed during the web scrapping part
save_linkedin_jobs() was creating a LinkedInScraper(...) instance just to write rows to PostgreSQL, and the base scraper constructor requires cookies. In the test, that meant it tried to build the
scraper with an empty cookie list and raised:
ValueError: linkedin cookies are required
So the bug was architectural: persistence was coupled to scraper/session setup. The fix was to separate those concerns, so saving jobs can happen independently of logging in or launching Playwright.
There was also a smaller lint issue in the same stretch:
- app/modules/scrapers/tasks.py had unsorted imports
But the real runtime failure was the ValueError above.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019eb657-a1ee-7c63-af87-a15a33437ce7
What is the expected behavior?
