I am facing AttributeError: 'ScrapyPlaywrightDownloadHandler' object has no attribute 'browser' suddenly. I noticed that it is having trouble launching the browser. I have set ```
PLAYWRIGHT_LAUNCH_OPTIONS = {
"headless": False
}

The relevant error happens earlier, when trying to start the browser: Error: no DISPLAY environment variable specified. This means you're probably running the spider in an environment without properly configured access to a graphics system, and this is a problem for the headless=false option that you're using.

@elacuesta , the default settings for scrapy-playwright are working fine. but for some reason, I need to set the headless=false I am running this using WSL on my windows platform. I tried reinstalling conda venv but the same result. I have recently reinstalled the windows and after that, I am facing this issue.

Makes sense, I don't think WSL provides an X server out of the box. I have no experience with WSL (nor access to a Windows system to try things), but a quick search for "wsl x server" yields results like this one, I'd suggest you to look into that. Let me know if that works for you, perhaps I can add a note to the Readme about this specific scenario.

(Edit) see also #7.

@elacuesta Thanks a lot. It worked. I just followed the process you mentioned. I just needed to install it into my venv (I am using anconda). After installing it what I need to do is, just run these two steps export DISPLAY=172.31.0.1:0.0
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 (for WSL 2) before running the spider. That's it. Thanks a lot
