A Python interface to the very handy Playwright browser automation library. The 1.9.x releases feel more Pythonic. Naming conventions, stuff like that. Feels much less like just a wrapper.
Don’t forget to install browser drivers whenever you install or upgrade Playwright!
$ python -m playwright install
With pytest
The pytest-playwright plugin provides fixtures, marks, and extra pytest
args for browser testing.
So far the only fixture I’ve used is page
, the standin for a default browser session.
Pairs nicely with pytest-django’s live_server
fixture.
Headless by default, but use pytest --headful
if you want to watch the browser do its thing.
Note
Since pytest-playwright is still in early days – 0.0.12 as of this bookmark date – dependency managers might not acknowledge new releases. Watch the repo and manually update your dependencies when you see a new release.
