[Feature] Playwright codegen plugin system
Is it possible to create a plugin system so that you can add your own features? Specifically, I need to add a couple of buttons to this panel with an overlay to integrate with my visual testing tool:
I studied the sources and managed to do this in the playwright fork by changing several files:
But this solution is not very good because it is not extensible and in the future when updating I will not be able to use it.
What are the prospects for creating plugin features?
Same situation here. My team is seeking more sustainability of testing maintenance, as one way, we plan to use a locator function with fallback logic (for example, nth-child selector -> class selector -> by position -> byText).
For now, one solution is to fork playwright and patch the recorder code, whitch is not good for its stability over long term.
A plugin system maybe a better way to do that
It would be great if Playwright Codegen allowed external frameworks building on top of Playwright, like Serenity/JS, to generate code using framework-specific syntax.
This should be possible to accomplish if external frameworks were able to register their custom language generators.
I'd be happy to collaborate on this.
My pain over the lack of a plugin system is based on two issues I need to address in my project:
- Ability to take screenshots during codgen
- Adding some stability improvements like
waitForEvent()after the page is opened
This issue is now 6 months old, can you please tell me if this is something you will be working on in the near (2-3 months) future? @mxschmitt tagging you as you placed the badge on my issue above
Yeah I would be like to have the plugin system so to add support for other languages/frameworks that have an integration with Playwright but isn't necessarily supported by Playwright Codegen out of the box.
