Playwright Testing

What is Playwright Testing?

Playwright test

Playwright Testing is a Node library written by Microsoft to automate browsers. It's created by the same team that originally built Puppeteer at Google.

Installing Playwright Testing

To install Playwright Testing, you can use yarnou npm:

npm i --save playwright

Running your first playwright test

To run your first test, use this example:

Chrome

const pw = require('playwright');

(async() => {

const browser = await pw.chromium.connect({

wsEndpoint: 'wss://chrome.headlesstesting.com?token=[YOUR-TOKEN]&browserVersion=dev',

});

const context = await browser.newContext();

const page = await context.newPage();

await page.goto('https://headlesstesting.com/');

await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png' });

await browser.close();

})();

Updating your existing Playwright Testing scripts

With a Playwright Testing test, you usually launch a browser with await pw.chromium.launch()

To start using the service, simply replace this line with the browser endpoint:

Before

const browser = await pw.chromium.launch();

After

await pw.chromium.connect({

wsEndpoint: 'wss://chrome.headlesstesting.com?token=[YOUR-TOKEN]&browserVersion=dev',

});
