# Playwright CLI
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Playwright comes with the command line tools that run via `npx` or as a part of the `npm` scripts.

## Usage
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
$ npx playwright --help
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Running from `package.json` script
 | 
			
		||||
```json
 | 
			
		||||
{
 | 
			
		||||
  "scripts": {
 | 
			
		||||
    "help": "playwright --help"
 | 
			
		||||
  }
 | 
			
		||||
}
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Generate code
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
$ npx playwright codegen wikipedia.org
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Run `codegen` and perform actions in the browser. Playwright CLI will generate JavaScript code for the user interactions. `codegen` will attempt to generate resilient text-based selectors.
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Open pages
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
With `open`, you can use Playwright bundled browsers to browse web pages. Playwright provides cross-platform WebKit builds that can be used to reproduce Safari rendering across Windows, Linux and macOS.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Open page in Chromium
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright open example.com
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Open page in WebKit
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright wk example.com
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Emulate devices
 | 
			
		||||
`open` can emulate mobile and tablet devices ([see all devices](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/master/src/server/deviceDescriptors.ts)).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Emulate iPhone 11.
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright --device="iPhone 11" open wikipedia.org
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Emulate color scheme and viewport size
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Emulate screen size and color scheme.
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright --viewport-size=800,600 --color-scheme=dark open twitter.com
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Emulate geolocation, language and timezone
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Emulate timezone, language & location
 | 
			
		||||
# Once page opens, click the "my location" button to see geolocation in action
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright --timezone="Europe/Rome" --geolocation="41.890221,12.492348" --lang="it-IT" open maps.google.com
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Inspect selectors
 | 
			
		||||
During `open` or `codegen`, you can use following API inside the developer tools console of any browser.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||

 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### playwright.$(selector)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Query Playwright selector, using the actual Playwright query engine, for example:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
> playwright.$('.auth-form >> text=Log in');
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
<button>Log in</button>
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### playwright.$$(selector)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Same as `playwright.$`, but returns all matching elements.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
> playwright.$$('li >> text=John')
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
> [<li>, <li>, <li>, <li>]
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### playwright.inspect(selector)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Reveal element in the Elements panel (if DevTools of the respective browser supports it).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
> playwright.inspect('text=Log in')
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### playwright.selector(element)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Generates selector for the given element.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```js
 | 
			
		||||
> playwright.selector($0)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
"div[id="glow-ingress-block"] >> text=/.*Hello.*/"
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Take screenshot
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# See command help
 | 
			
		||||
$ npx playwright screenshot --help
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Wait 3 seconds before capturing a screenshot after page loads ('load' event fires)
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright \
 | 
			
		||||
  --device="iPhone 11" \
 | 
			
		||||
  --color-scheme=dark \
 | 
			
		||||
  screenshot \
 | 
			
		||||
    --wait-for-timeout=3000 \
 | 
			
		||||
    twitter.com twitter-iphone.png
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# Capture a full page screenshot
 | 
			
		||||
npx playwright screenshot --full-page en.wikipedia.org wiki-full.png
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Generate PDF
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
PDF generation only works in Headless Chromium.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```sh
 | 
			
		||||
# See command help
 | 
			
		||||
$ npx playwright pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF wiki.pdf
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Known limitations
 | 
			
		||||
Opening WebKit Web Inspector will disconnect Playwright from the browser. In such cases, code generation will stop.
