Automation Using PlayWright

In this section will discuss the steps on recording using Playwright using Java.

1. Create a Maven Project 

2. Add below dependencies

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.microsoft.playwright</groupId>
        <artifactId>playwright</artifactId>
        <version>1.54.0</version>
    </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>


  <build>
      <plugins>
          <plugin>
              <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
              <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>3.1.0</version>
              <configuration>
                  <mainClass>com.microsoft.playwright.CLI</mainClass>
              </configuration>
          </plugin>
      </plugins>
  </build>

3. Now navigate to the project from command prompt & run below command

mvn exec:java -P run-cli -Dexec.args="codegen <URL>"

e.g. mvn exec:java -P run-cli -Dexec.args="codegen https://google.com"

4. Do whatever you want on the page & same will be recorded in a Playwright tab

5. You can get the generated code in different language/framework.
