These methods are safe to call while the page is still open, or when it is
already closed. Works in remotely connected browser as well.
Also makes video.path() to throw for remotely connected browser.
Under the hood migrated Download and Video to use the common Artifact object.
We might not ever get the "download finished" event when closing the context:
- in Chromium, for any ongoing download;
- in all browsers, for failed downloads.
This should not prevent closing the context. Instead of waiting for the
download and then deleting it, we force delete it immediately and reject
any promises waiting for the download completion.
- 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.
Consider the following sequence:
- page opens a popup;
- popup target is attached, we start initializing it;
- user calls browser.close();
- browser is closed, and popup initialization fails;
- we report "errored page" on the already closed context;
- RPC client cannot make sense of this:
"Cannot find parent object BrowserContext@guid to create Frame@guid"
This issue was revealed during Firefox pipe migration.
- This leaves just `recordVideos` and `videoSize` options on the context.
- Videos are saved to `artifactsPath`. We also save their ids to trace.
- `context.close()` waits for the processed videos.
api(trace): introduce artifacts options
This introduces launch({ artifactsPath }) and newContext({ relativeArtifactsPath, recordTrace }) options.
- artifactsPath option controls the directory where all artifacts go. If not passed, artifacts are not collected.
- relativeArtifactsPath can be used to put context-specific artifacts into a subfolder. If not passed, shared artifactsPath is used.
- recordTrace controls trace recording.
We also expose trace types under playwright/types/trace.d.ts.
In the follow up:
- videos will be put into artifactsPath;
- downloads will be put into artifactsPath, or keep using existing downloadsPath when artifactsPath is not specified.
These methods are the only users of waitForNavigation and
waitForLoadState on the server side. This refactor lifts the
Progress wrapper to the top-most goBack/goForward/reload call
and leaves waitForNavigation/waitForLoadState as internal helpers.
This way we get a single Progress for the actual api call.
