This makes dialogs disappear and prevents stalling.
Pros:
- No need to worry about dialogs for most users.
- Those that wait for a specific dialog still get to control it.
Cons:
- Those who use Playwright to show interactive browser will have
to add an empty 'dialog' handler to prevent auto-dismiss.
We do this in cli.
Everything but attributes in the light dom is manually compared during
DOM traversal, for example child nodes or scroll offset.
This way we get a bullet-proof solution that works with input values,
scroll offsets, shadow dom and anything else web comes up with.
We also restore scroll only on the document scrolling element, for
performance reasons. We should figure out the story around scrolling.
Changes stationary snapshots from ~0.5ms to ~2.5ms due to DOM traversal.
- Intercept CSSOM modifications and recalculate overridden css text.
- When css text does not change, use "backwards reference" similar
to node references.
- Set 'Cache-Control: no-cache' for resources that could be overridden.
- Switch from html to json ml format.
- Allow node reuse between snapshots with `[nSnapshotsBefore, nodeWithIndexM]`.
- Service worker now lazily serializes snapshot chunks into a single html.
This decreases total snapshot size on random scripts ~10x.
This also decreases snapshot collecting time on mostly static pages to ~0.3ms.
Unfortunate downside for now is that we have to intercept
`Element.prototype.attachShadow` to invalidate nodes. This
also temporary breaks scroll restoration. Needs more research.
- Move service worker under /snapshot/ instead of /.
- Fix stylesheet base uri bug, where we inherited the wrong base url.
- Introduce TraceServer and routes there, split the actual routes
between snapshot, ui and action previews.
This change is adding a new property on the BrowserContextOptions class called `_debugName`. This property allows defining a user-friendly name for the browser context, and currently it is being used in one place, the Trace Viewer. When user provides the new value in the following way:
```typescript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext({ _traceDir: __dirname, _debugName: 'My custom testcase name' });
await context.close();
await browser.close();
})();
```
The `_debugName` will be saved in the `*.trace` file for this browser context, on the `context-created` event, under the key `debugName`.
Later, when such a trace is displayed using Trace Viewer, the `debugName` will be displayed in the dropdown in the top right part of the app instead of the actual trace filename.
Fixes#5157.
This introduces an http server that serves our frontend and our snapshots. There is more work to untangle the big server into a few modules.
This change allows us:
- Maybe eventually serve the trace viewer as a web page.
- Rely on browser caches for fast snapshot rendering. This PR also adds "snapshot on hover" feature, subject to change.
feat(trace viewer): Extending existing NetworkTab view
Currently the network tab contains a limited amount of information on the resources that were loaded in the browser. This change proposes extending the details displayed for each resource, to include:
- HTTP method,
- Full url,
- Easily visible response content type,
- Request headers,
- Request & response bodies.
Such level of information could help quickly understand what happened in the application, when it was communicating with backend services. This can help debug tests quicker to figure out why they are failing.
This implementation still needs some clean up & tests improvement, but I wanted to propose such changes and gather your feedback before going too far.
- Instead of capturing snapshots on demand, we now stream them
from each frame every 100ms.
- Certain actions can also force snapshots at particular moment using
"checkpoints".
- Trace viewer is able to show the page snapshot at a particular
timestamp, or using a "checkpoint" snapshot.
- Small optimization to not process stylesheets if CSSOM was not used.
There still is a lot of room for improvement.
fix(trace viewer): updating default traceStorageDir value
When `npx playwright show-trace <tracePath>` command is executed, without providing the `resources` optional parameter, the function expected the `traceStorageDir` default value to be the same directory as in which the tracePath resides. This change updates it to the `dirname(tracePath)/trace-resources` if it exists. Such a directory hirerachy is the default that is created when running the tracer in Playwright.
- Allow specifying which browsers to install. This comes handy in playwright-cli.
- Print "npx playwright" as a tool name in help messages, instead of "cli".
