This patch adds a general-purpose grid framework to parallelize
Playwright across multiple agents.
This patch adds two CLI commands to manage grid:
- `npx playwright experimental-grid-server` - to launch grid
- `npx playwrigth experimental-grid-agent` - to launch agent in a host
environment.
Grid server accepts an `--agent-factory` argument. A simple
`factory.js` might look like this:
```js
const child_process = require('child_process');
module.exports = {
name: 'My Simple Factory',
capacity: Infinity, // How many workers launch per agent
timeout: 10_000, // 10 seconds timeout to create agent
launch: ({agentId, gridURL, playwrightVersion}) => child_process.spawn(`npx`, [
'playwright'
'experimental-grid-agent',
'--grid-url', gridURL,
'--agent-id', agentId,
], {
cwd: __dirname,
shell: true,
stdio: 'inherit',
}),
};
```
With this `factory.js`, grid server could be launched like this:
```bash
npx playwright experimental-grid-server --factory=./factory.js
```
Once launched, it could be used with Playwright Test using env variable:
```bash
PW_GRID=http://localhost:3000 npx playwright test
```
It looks like we have a very small share of users on 32-bit windows.
This is a tiny change that stops Playwright from using 32-bit windows
binaries.

This supports `PWDEBUG=console` that:
- runs headed;
- disables timeouts;
- adds `playwright` console helper.
When using `PWDEBUG=anything-but-console`, we open inspector.
Docs keep suggesting `PWDEBUG=1`.
For some reason typescript can't find electron types when using
nested tsconfig - workaround the bug.
Drive-by: surface installer compilation problems.
This introduces basic tracing enabled in our tests.
What is captured:
- network resources;
- snapshots at the start of most actions;
- snapshot after the test failure.
How this integrates with test runner:
- context fixture calls private method context._initSnapshotter() and uses Tracer to trace all events;
- all tests share a single test-results/trace-storage directory to store blobs;
- each test has its own trace file.
- npm run show-trace opens a bare-minimum trace viewer that renders snapshots.
Root index.js is only used for local development, so
assuming dev mode there is fine. This way we do not have
to worry about calling setUnderTest early enough.
