How to use ‘Record feature in​​ Playwright-Java

Let us create a simple test with page.pause() method as shown below. This method will allow us to use the ‘Record’ feature in playwright inspector

Save and run the test.

Notice below that the webpage launches alongwith the inspector having ‘Record’ button

Click this ‘Record’ button

Enter username as ‘Admin’ and password as ‘admin123’

Click Login

The below page would come up

Notice that the actions get automatically recorded in the inspector, see below

Let us copy the line#3 and​​ lines#13-27 and paste them in notepad

Click ‘Record’ to stop recording

Close the inspector window.

Paste the recorded code snippet inside our test (line#8, lines#16-26)

Make sure that pause() command is at the end (line#27).

Save and execute.

The script replays and the login operation is success

Click ‘step-over’

The script execution gets over

This is how we can easily record an action in playwright!

Code snippet (before Record operation)

package​​ com.w2a.pwjava;

 

import​​ org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserType;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Page;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;

 

public​​ class​​ PWTest {

@Test

public​​ void​​ PWFirstTest() {

 Playwright​​ pw​​ = Playwright.create();

 Page​​ page​​ =​​ pw.chromium().launch(new​​ BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false)).newPage();

page.navigate("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login");

page.pause();

 }

 

}

Code snippet (after Record operation)

package​​ com.w2a.pwjava;

 

import​​ org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

 

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserType;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Page;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;

import​​ static​​ com.microsoft.playwright.assertions.PlaywrightAssertions.assertThat;

 

public​​ class​​ PWTest {

@Test

public​​ void​​ PWFirstTest() {

 Playwright​​ pw​​ = Playwright.create();

 Page​​ page​​ =​​ pw.chromium().launch(new​​ BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false)).newPage();

page.navigate("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login");

// Click [placeholder="Username"]

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ page.locator("[placeholder=\"Username\"]").click();

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ // Fill [placeholder="Username"]

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ page.locator("[placeholder=\"Username\"]").fill("Admin");

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ // Click [placeholder="Password"]

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ page.locator("[placeholder=\"Password\"]").click();

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ // Fill [placeholder="Password"]

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ page.locator("[placeholder=\"Password\"]").fill("admin123");

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ // Click​​ button:has-text("Login")

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ page.locator("button:has-text(\"Login\")").click();

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ assertThat(page).hasURL("https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/pim/viewEmployeeList");

page.pause();

  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​
