[@danielgilleland8611]

First time stumbling upon your channel. VERY professionally presented! - Clean/clear speech - short, focused presentation (cuts to the point) - packed with information - easy-to-follow tutorial Subscribers +1

[@Testopic]

Welcome aboard Daniel! And thank you for the feedback, it really helps 😊.

@@Testopic how can I make the Inspector NOT to open an InCognito/Private window? (rather use a regular window). This is such an important requirement because most websites use CloudFlare and do not let a user sign in in a Private window.

[@mindaugasazubalis]

Totally agreed. Amazing. Thanks ❤

[@LeightonChen-x5y]

I usually don't reply to videos but I should change my habits. Thanks for this helpful introduction and for letting me realise to be grateful.

[@Merlin_YouTube]

The birds in the background are so peaceful ; love it

[@Mvrck44]

Nice backdrop, refreshing after all those neon-setting tutorial videos! And very well presented, too, thank you!

[@carloscode5-jm7qh]

@Testopic came across your video wanting to learn a LEGIT understanding on Playwright and I'm glad I clicked the thumbnail. Your format and layout of the video and topics was clear, clean and to the point without boring me. Definitely subscribing, thank you for taking the time to create this and an inspiration for me when I start making tutorials! Thank you!

[@izrailmoiseevic2844]

Thanks a lot for such clear, full and at the same time short presentation!

One note @8:36: Before you can run the script by typing in node .\[filename] you need to save your script first in VS Code. If you do not save first, you will just be returned to the next line in the terminal and the script will not run.

[@ard1419]

Hello, node .\test-name.js and npx playwright test test-name.spec.ts doesn't run the test. What's the correct command? Doesn't matter if the file is saved or not

[@anjuramos3074]

​@ard1419 I'm having the same issue, did you find the solution?

[@ourfamilyssimplejoys3916]

Thanks for this video. This brief intro to Playwright made a big difference for me. 😃

[@iuliaf7809]

Great tutorial, man. I was going to ask you how does Playwright compare to Selenium, but the next recommended video will answer this exact question. Looking forward to your new videos.

[@lotterombaut976]

i love the birds chirping in the background

[@cyrelm]

Great tutorial! short, sweet and straight to the point. Liked and subscribed! Thanks.

[@tudorb.2849]

Short and sweet!Thank you!

[@Testopic]

Glad you liked it! Cheers!

[@tudorb.2849]

@@Testopic I would like to see more videos from you about Playwright and may be an Udemy course(why not?). Thanks

[@matthiasmuller6301]

I totally agree with Daniel Gilleland. There are not many such clear tuts (means regarding Playwright I found NONE). I'd wish more for this topic. ^^

[@jlei6802]

This is a very nice and sweet video and provide a very good overview of Playwright. Any plan on making it a series to go more in depth in various topics such as multibrowsers, file upload, and Api just to name a few?

[@ramanpasricha8897]

What an explanation !! Crisp and clear ..Thank you for sharing this

[@lukejay]

I've been looking for a way to switch the POE on/off on various unifi switch ports for ages. I had hoped to write simple scripts to SSH into the switch and toggle the power, but unifi doesn't have that functionality and it's possible only via the web browser. This is the PERFECT solution to do what I need. Very excited to try it out!

[@aleskral6170]

Thanks, it showed me in short time more than a web tutorials during a hours...

[@DlBuli]

This seems very promising as a tool - curious what else it can do. Waiting for sequeeels ! :)

[@Testopic]

I'll definitely be posting more about Playwright in the coming weeks. So ... stay tuned 😄!

[@bababaivanov]

This was well structured and done demo. Great job!

[@lukaszjasinskipc]

Your videos are great, I'm still waiting for more.

[@johnfonseka6728]

Thanks for the great intro video. Playwright should consider making this their getting started vid.

[@Analyse_US]

Thankyou. Excellent demo. Definitely a tool I need to learn .

[@TechiesUnofficial]

That is one powerful software. And excellent explanation.

[@Bayanda7]

Great video, makes me wanna get started on it immediately

[@michalshpak6818]

thank you for the video! can you maybe explain how is possible to mix between the recorder and shared functions? for example, is it possible to lunch the recorder after before each of a login function? or for example, we want the click on a button will be a page function we use in many tests?

[@nikhilkaushik805]

So clear explanation. Subbed

[@privateeye242]

In a browser when I hoover over a menu item called "Schedules" a pull down menu appears. I then click on one of the menu items ("Weekly Schedule") and another page appears. When using the inspector I notice that although "clicking the menu item" is mentioned. The step before: hoovering over the menu to have the menu items appear does not occure. Hence I get a time out error and the text: waiting for selector "#menuItemHilite14" selector resolved to hidden Weekly Schedule attempting click action waiting for element to be visible, enabled and stable element is not visisble - waiting... How can I make the hidden menu appear and the click action can take place?

[@dankierson]

Sure do plan to use it ASAP. But does Playwright offer the mobile versions of Safari? These ones have to be tested on too since they may not have new CSS features. Great idea 💡

[@Johnello1]

salutare! ai cumva materiale actualizate undeva? observ ca acest material este de 3 ani :( doar ce am incercat sa-l instalez si a fost un "bumpy ride" cel putin :)) m-am lovit acum de cateva erori cand incerc sa compilez/rulez codul capturat, insa sunt convins ca o sa reusesc.. nu ajuta prea mult chat gpt aici

[@tomasdablju2199]

Great explanation. When will be the next Playwright video?? 🙂

[@tatevikmelikyan110]

Great Demo, thanks for such a clear and nice presentation. I have one question, is it possible to integrate Zephyr test cases to Playwright?

[@mei9200]

I am new to testing, just started to learn. A quick question, is it possible to install playwright in webstorm?

[@shinsadpuramadam]

Hi when I try to run the command as you said in your video like mom I-D playwright Then I am getting this error

[@WhistleFantasy]

Great video. Any way to headless test a Chrome extension? Maybe do a video about testing extensions?

[@cloudgreenhorn452]

Great content! Keep it up!

[@jennifereileenmartinez2104]

It looks really nice actually, I came from using Python + Selenium but I think I'll this playwright a shot. :D

[@khaledreza1]

I am new to this. Can I capture the screen and produce java code using Playwright? If so, how do I do that?

[@Testopic]

Hello Khaled, Yep, for producing Java code, check out the video at timestamp 371 (or use this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXjVZqWwbbx6eac). Notice Java is in the list there. For taking a screenshot, using Java code, you can use this: page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions().setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png"))); And, if you want quicker answers to your questions (... sorry it took 3 days to get to this one) check out Playwright's Slack channel: aka.ms/playwright-slack

How to maximize browser window using playwright java?And do we have Cucumber/BDD framework can be compatible with Playwright java?

[@dragon3602010]

aawsesome thanks, can you do a video about playwright stealth plugin?

[@Testopic]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I see that there is only a Python version at the moment, but I will definitely check it out. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to prevent headless detection? Is your application under some sort of bot protection?

[@dragon3602010]

@@Testopic hey thank uuu, it's not only for the headless mode but also with the gui, I am using it to automate the upload on KZbin but I cannot log in with chrome, it's kinda detected. I know there is the api but some stuff are no on it ^^'

[@Testopic]

@@dragon3602010 Indeed, google authentication is protected on chrome when you start it with Playwright. Firefox works however. So, if you don't mind hacky ways, you could try logging in with firefox, saving the logged in state with context.storageState() and then opening up chrome and loading that state in the chromium context. I have no idea if state format is browser specific, so it might be a bad solution from the start. Good Luck!

[@42-jj]

Great video.

[@kpg7882]

What about testing REST APIs?

[@trilogen]

Which language should I go with as a beginner in coding and Playwright?

[@mikemihay]

Quick suggestion for some next videos : BDD beginner and then BDD advanced

[@Testopic]

Thanks for the suggestion. It's on top of my TODO list :)

[@drillcat659]

Really helpful. Thank you.

amazing content ::)

[@Testopic]

Thank you Sushmitha! A new vid will come soon :)

[@danieljakobsson1181]

What happens if something is wrong like a bug appears and you run headless! How do you know if there is a bug? Is there some kind of errror apeparing in the result?

[@OfficialNattyOrNot]

You create custom error to be logged if an action fails.

[@Vikramdashboard]

That was a quick one

[@allaboutauto1395]

In one word "WOW"
