Wallet cache creation should work.

Hi @kr-keshav-kk, what error message are you getting? Also, can you take a screenshot of your wallet setup file?

[amaify]

@kr-keshav-kk I believe that your wallet cache creation fails due to version compatibility issues.

Under the hood, Synpress utilises Playwright version 1.48.2 as a peer dependency. The key point to note is that version 1.48.2 from Playwright utilises Chromium 1140, which is not compatible with Playwright version 1.53.1.

@amaify Are there any plans to update Synpress’s Playwright dependency to a more recent version?

@sajwanAshish, I'm not sure for now. My team is trying to establish contact with the Synpress team so that we can contribute to the project, but it's been very quiet on their end.

@drptbl the issue is described above. lemme know if you guys can help out with that.

gist is: metamask now supports Solana chain. so if you guys can bump up the metamask version. that would be great.

@drptbl @sajwanAshish any update on this topic, I've noticed that moving to version https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/releases/tag/v11.16.7 should be enough

yes can confirm that 11.16.7 fixes the cache -- the metamask version is not configurable in current form
