## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Installation Problems
```bash
# Check Python version (requires 3.8+)
python --version

# Upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Install with verbose output
pip install pydoll-mcp -v
```

#### Version Detection Issues (FIXED in v1.1.3!)
```bash
# Check if version is properly detected
python -c "import pydoll_mcp; print(f'Version: {pydoll_mcp.__version__}')"

# If you still see 'vunknown', try reinstalling:
pip uninstall pydoll-mcp
pip install pydoll-mcp
```

#### Tool Count Inconsistency (FIXED in v1.1.3!)
```bash
# All commands now report consistent tool count (77 tools)
python -m pydoll_mcp.cli status
python -m pydoll_mcp.cli test-installation
```

#### Windows Command Compatibility (IMPROVED in v1.1.3!)
```batch
# Use Windows-compatible commands
pip list | findstr pydoll

# Instead of Linux/macOS command:
# pip list | grep pydoll
```

#### Korean Windows Encoding Issues (FIXED in v1.1.2!)
```bash
# For Korean Windows systems with cp949 encoding
set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8
python -m pydoll_mcp.server

# Alternative: Use command prompt with UTF-8
chcp 65001
python -m pydoll_mcp.server

# Permanent solution: Add to Claude Desktop config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pydoll": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "pydoll_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8",
        "PYDOLL_LOG_LEVEL": "INFO"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Module Execution Issues (FIXED in v1.1.2!)
```bash
# Now you can properly use:
python -m pydoll_mcp

# Thanks to the added __main__.py file
```

#### Browser Issues
```bash
# Verify browser installation
python -c "from pydoll.browser import Chrome; print('Browser check passed')"

# Test basic functionality
python -m pydoll_mcp.cli test-browser

# Check browser permissions (Linux/macOS)
ls -la /usr/bin/google-chrome
```

#### Connection Issues
```bash
# Test MCP server connection
python -m pydoll_mcp.server --test

# Check logs
python -m pydoll_mcp.cli status --logs

# Verify Claude Desktop config
python -m pydoll_mcp.cli generate-config
```

### Debug Mode
```bash
# Enable debug logging
export PYDOLL_DEBUG=1
export PYDOLL_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG

# Run with detailed output
python -m pydoll_mcp.server --debug
```
