[Question]: Uploading big file crashes the browser

Your question

I have a scenorio where I have to upload some big files - 150MB and 250 MB.
I am following this doc - https://playwright.dev/python/docs/input/#upload-files
For smaller file, I found it working but for bigger files it fails.
I tried to use both set_input_files and expect_file_chooser but got the similar issue.

Using set DEBUG=pw:browser I got the buffer error.

  pw:browser [pid=7016][err] [7016:11564:0920/113948.785:ERROR:http_connection.cc(37)] Too large read data is pending: capacity=104857600, max_buffer_size=104857600, read=104857600 +11s
  pw:browser [pid=7016][err] [7016:11564:0920/113948.785:ERROR:devtools_pipe_handler.cc(282)] Connection closed, not enough capacity +4ms

Do I need to set some flag for bigger files ? Or is there any workaround to get it working ?

Sounds like a duplicate of microsoft/playwright#3768

Uploading files bigger than 50MB is currently not possible.
