[Feature] A way to CDP using persistent contexts

[szmarczak]

https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsercontext#browser-context-browser

Returns the browser instance of the context. If it was launched as a persistent context null gets returned.

So persistentContext.browser().newBrowserCDPSession() cannot be used because .browser() returns null.

Would context.newContextCDPSession() make sense?

Run into the same problem.

@rwoll It's been almost 6 months. Is there any interest in this? I'd like to use Target.setAutoAttach for target interception, since Playwright doesn't support it yet.

I think launchPersistentContext should return browser instead of this:

playwright/packages/playwright-core/src/server/browserType.ts

Line 86 in df14303

return browser._defaultContext!;

This way, it should allow people to get both browser and BrowserContext.
