This makes it easier to reason about our packages.
The only difference is what each package downloads.
When the browser is not downloaded, it will fail to launch.
Each browser gets a 'download' attribute in the browser.json file.
This patch:
- drops dependency on playwright-core in all our packages. Instead of
the dependency, packages are now built with `//packages/build_package.sh`
script.
- unifies `browsers.json` - now there's a single `//browsers.json` file
that is used to manage browser revisions.
This patch temporary switches canary publishing to `--dryn-run` from CI/CD so that we
can verify that it does sane things.
We'll unify all our package management scripts under `//packages/` in a
follow-up.
Fixes#2268
This patch removes the `PLAYWRIGHT_GLOBAL_INSTALL=1` variable
and instead introduces a new var - `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH`.
You can specify `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH` to affect where playwright
installs browsers and where it looks for browsers.
Fixes#1102
You can install playwright with
```
PLAYWRIGHT_GLOBAL_INSTALL=1 npm i playwright
```
to make it use a single shared location for all browser
downloads.
Fixes#1102
This generates typescript definitions based on the api.md, instead of autogenerating them from the typescript source code.
Now types
- only include the public api
- work with older versions of typescript
- include descriptions
- are more consistent
- are more complete
#6
This patch:
- removes `browserType.downloadBrowserIfNeeded()` method. The method
turned out to be ill-behaving and cannot not be used as we'd like to (see #1085)
- adds a `browserType.setExecutablePath` method to set a browser
exectuable.
With this patch, we take the following approach towards managing browser downloads:
- `playwright-core` doesn't download any browsers. In `playwright-core`, `playwright.chromium.executablePath()` returns `null` (same for firefox and webkit).
- clients of `playwright-core` (e.g. `playwright` and others) download browsers one way or another.
They can then configure `playwright` with executable paths and re-export the `playwright` object to their clients.
- `playwright`, `playwright-firefox`, `playwright-chromium` and `playwright-webkit` download
browsers. Once browsers are downloaded, their executable paths are saved to a `.downloaded-browsers.json` file. This file is read in `playwright/index.js` to configure browser executable paths and re-export the API.
- special case is `install-from-github.js` that also cleans up old browsers.
This patch starts respecting `PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_HOST` env variable
in `playwright` package and it's vendored flavors (`playwright-firefox`,
`playwright-chromium` and `playwright-webkit`).
Fixes#1045
Playwright API is parametrized with a `downloadPath` - a path that
is used to download browsers and to look for downloaded browsers.
This patch starts respecting `downloadPath` as part of
`download-browser.js` utility.
This patch makes it so all our packages, like `playwright` and
browser-specific flavors, download browsers to their
directories rather then using directory of `playwright-core`.
This way yarn@1 caches are not busted: they didn't expect that directory
content might change after packages's explicit install step
is failed, there's that was what we were doing.
Fixes#1085
* feat: change vendor package exports
This patch changes top-level exports for the vendor-specific
packages:
- `playwright-chromium`: now exports an object with a single `chromium`
field
- `playwright-wekbit`: now exports an object with a single `webkit`
- `playwright-firefox`: now exports an object with a single `firefox`
Fixes#814
