"RuntimeError: This event loop is already running" When attempting REPL example

JacobCallahan opened this issue · comments

Each time I attempt the REPl example, I get the traceback below. Sync context-manager example worked though.
playwright==0.8.0

for iPython / Jupiter notebooks it seems like the current workaround would be to use that before you run your shell:

import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

Out of curiosity to understand more the user case. You are trying out Playwright in a REPL or are you using it only with with the REPL in the end?

@mxschmitt thanks for the quick response!
nest_asyncio isn't a standard package or one installed as a requirement for playwright. As such, I'm guessing most users wouldn't have it installed. However, that did solve the problem:

In [1]: import nest_asyncio                                                                                                                                   

In [2]: nest_asyncio.apply()                                                                                                                                  

In [3]: from playwright import sync_playwright                                                                                                                

In [4]: playwright = sync_playwright().start()                                                                                                                

In [5]:     

My use-case within IPython is largely API exploration and interactive process development before writing a script or integration with an application.

Additional note, your example works perfectly in the base python REPL.

@mxschmitt - FYI, the nested async doesn't work for jupyter notebooks for at least the sync REPL example:

nest_asyncio.apply()

@bubthegreat: This looks like a SelectorEventLoop's limitation on Python 3.7 on Windows. Starting with 3.8, a more complete implementation of the loop is used on Windows and it should support running subprocesses. See the platform support section for more details.

We do install this more capable ProactorEventLoop manually on 3.7 see here, but it might be that nest_asyncio does not respect our selection. So it is a combination of Windows + Python 3.7 + nest_asyncio that triggers it.

I assume upgrading to 3.9 would improve this, still saw issues, and downgraded to 3.8.3 - still having issues with sync_playwright:

     83     return loop.run_until_complete(run_driver_async())
     84 

Error: Can only run one Playwright at a time.

Currently, playwright disallows attaching to a running loop:

def run_driver() -> Connection:
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
if loop.is_running():
raise Error("Can only run one Playwright at a time.")
return loop.run_until_complete(run_driver_async())

This should be fine in plain IPython (does not launch an asyncio event loop in the main thread), but will fail in Jupyter that uses tornado>=5 (launches asyncio event loop on startup under the hood).

As calling run_until_complete is disallowed on running loops, this will fail in Jupyter.

Minimal reproducible example that will run in latest IPython, but will break on Jupyter environments that use tornado>=5 under the hood:

import asyncio
print(asyncio.run(asyncio.sleep(0)))

So for Jupyter, additionally a pip install 'tornado<5' 'notebook<5.7.9' should fix loop issues introduced in tornado>=5 (and if you need jupyterhub, use jupyterhub<0.9.0). refs jupyter/notebook#3397 (comment) ipython/ipykernel#548

My understanding is that resolving this requires cooperation between the embedder that controls the loop and sync Playwright that also wants to dispatch its messages forever. And I don't think such cooperation is the right way to go. Sync API is designed as self-contained, assumes it controls execution. Is there a way to use async in Jupyter?

Executing a cell in Jupyter will actually require a lock on the main loop from ipykernel, so you could schedule execution of a Future in one cell (which will start execution once that cell has finished), and get the result in the next cell. Doing it all in one cell is certainly not trivial without nested loops.

Was just bitten by this.

It is very convenient to use Jupyter for explorative programming, especially when the thing you're working with is heavy (like a browser in a particular state).
For my use case, I wanted to spin up a few browser instances and use them to test out a complicated feature that involves webrtc etc.

Also ran into this cute tutorial demonstrating why this is nice (he's using Selenium): https://medium.com/shakuro/adopting-ipython-jupyter-for-selenium-testing-d02309dd00b8

The stated workaround sadly didn't work for me, neither on sync nor async versions.

Hope this helps!

Found a workaround for getting Playwright working within Jupyter.

It leverages an awesome python library called RPyc to run Playwright outside of the kernel while keeping the API the same.

!pip install rpyc

import rpyc
import subprocess
subprocess.Popen('rpyc_classic.py -m forking'.split())  # start RPyc worker

conn = rpyc.classic.connect('localhost')
rplaywright = conn.modules['playwright']  

# rplaywright has the same API as playwright
pr = rplaywright.sync_playwright().start()
browser = pr.chromium.launch()
page = browser.newPage()
page.goto('http://whatsmyuseragent.org/')
page.screenshot(path='example.png')
browser.close()
# Grab screen
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

browser = pr.chromium.launch()

page = browser.newPage()
page.goto('http://localhost:4000/v/tf3nhh')
img=page.screenshot(path='example.png')
Image.open(BytesIO(img))

@wohenniubi sorry don't have a windows machine to test this out, but try figuring out how to run the rpyc_classic.py program on command line first

@tals Thanks for the response. After several trials without success, I might switch back to use selenium by now.
Anyway, I'll keep on watching this jupyter issue and this promising tool, playwright.

Closed for now as part of the triage. Please reopen if it's still persistent.

@mxschmitt not sure why its closed - this problem still exists. You can reproduce this on the latest versions of jupyter+playwright

The bug is upstream: ipython/ipykernel#548

And there is a workaround: #178 (comment)

Maybe could warn the jupyter user with a verbose re-raising try-except?

@ddelange the proposed workaround sadly doesn't work on jupyter: #178 (comment)

The only thing I could do to get it working was running it outside of the process with RPyc

It's been almost two years and this still isn't fixed that I can find - playwright is explicitly stopping me from using nested loops:

The workarounds don't work for those of us using windows, and they don't appear to work in WSL either - is there a reason we can't get more information on why this is still closed two years later with no traction and no functional workarounds for presumably a fairly normal use case of using a jupyter notebook for exploratory programming?

It seems hard to believe that we just assume everyone will use raw iPython for everything so I'm confused by the reluctance to actually fix this.

If I'm understanding the asyncio base_events.py error, it's because there's no implementation of the _make_subprocess_transport function - is that not something that would be on the playwright package to implement in it's async implementation?

commented

@tals Rpyc will only works if we will not call any playwright sub-modules directly, tomerfiliba-org/rpyc#496.
In my case, it not works well, still finding a way to let playwright sync api work with jupyter now...

still waiting i want to leave selenium but this stop me

If you want to use an async framework (playwright-python is natively async) inside Jupyter Notebooks, the ipykernel maintainer suggests to use the async api directly (await & async def syntax), instead of the sync wrappers. They don't support sync wrappers around async libs...

still does not work in jupyter (vscode interactive).

Sync API is not allowed!

It seems sync API is not work in plain python script.

The following code just launch browser, open page then exit. I did not call browser.close().

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

p = sync_playwright().start()
browser = p.chromium.launch(channel="chrome",headless=False, slow_mo=100)
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto('https://cnki.net/')

Here is ipython error logs.

The fact that your traceback hangs here:

Hi, I tried to update jupyter via pip install -U jupyterlab notebook voila. Then tried the following code in jupyterlab. But still not works.

async def run(playwright):
    chromium = playwright.chromium
    browser = await chromium.launch(channel="chrome",headless=False, slow_mo=100).launch()
    page = await browser.new_page()
    await page.goto("https://example.com")
    await browser.close()

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as playwright:
        await run(playwright)

await main()

NotImplementedError: 

do you get the same traceback when you run the snippet in ipython instead of jupyter? if yes, we eliminated the ipykernel loop issue, and my next guess would be the fact that you're on windows...

potentially indeed your OS ref https://stackoverflow.com/q/70349876

@mxschmitt would this be caught by the Windows CI?

edit: more specifically https://stackoverflow.com/a/44639711/5511061

@ddelange Thanks. I found a workaround on windows now. NOT RECOMMEND!

From jupyter/notebook#5916, minrk/ipykernel@079f072, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44633458/why-am-i-getting-notimplementederror-with-async-and-await-on-windows/74311290#74311290, https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/blob/99a1becaa958b33d80fe337fdbc41305030fdb6d/ipykernel/kernelapp.py#L633-L637. I found a way to make it work hackly (not recommend) on windows.

Comment asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy()) in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\ipykernel\kernelapp.py (change to your path).

Then the following code will work in jupyter notebook.

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as p:
        browser = await p.chromium.launch(channel="chrome", headless=False, slow_mo=100)
        page = await browser.new_page()
        await page.goto("https://cnki.net/")
        await browser. Close()

await main()

still does not work in jupyter (vscode interactive).

Maybe I should switch to selenium, see run-selenium-in-jupyter-notebook-on-wsl2-or-ubuntu

I have another question, why can't I use sync API in jupyter? I have to write a lot await in async API. The sync API is simple and straight, performance or jupyter does not allowed?

If you want to use an async framework (playwright-python is natively async) inside Jupyter Notebooks, the ipykernel maintainer suggests to use the async api directly (await & async def syntax), instead of the sync wrappers. They don't support sync wrappers around async libs...

jup it's not allowed

Not allowed? However, I used a lot of packages like numpy, pandas, matplotlib, tensorflow, pytorch, and so on are sync style of API, most of them are async only.

Is there any ways to make sync API of playwright-python work on jupyter?

I didn't double check, but I'm pretty sure those libraries don't use asyncio under the hood (they may still release the GIL however). For more information on the topic, see ipython/ipykernel#548 (comment).
