- Move service worker under /snapshot/ instead of /.
- Fix stylesheet base uri bug, where we inherited the wrong base url.
- Introduce TraceServer and routes there, split the actual routes
between snapshot, ui and action previews.
This change is adding a new property on the BrowserContextOptions class called `_debugName`. This property allows defining a user-friendly name for the browser context, and currently it is being used in one place, the Trace Viewer. When user provides the new value in the following way:
```typescript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext({ _traceDir: __dirname, _debugName: 'My custom testcase name' });
await context.close();
await browser.close();
})();
```
The `_debugName` will be saved in the `*.trace` file for this browser context, on the `context-created` event, under the key `debugName`.
Later, when such a trace is displayed using Trace Viewer, the `debugName` will be displayed in the dropdown in the top right part of the app instead of the actual trace filename.
Fixes#5157.
Installer has a code to download browsers from the old version of
playwright. This, however, is never needed, since installer only
installs browsers from its own version.
This introduces an http server that serves our frontend and our snapshots. There is more work to untangle the big server into a few modules.
This change allows us:
- Maybe eventually serve the trace viewer as a web page.
- Rely on browser caches for fast snapshot rendering. This PR also adds "snapshot on hover" feature, subject to change.
feat(trace viewer): Extending existing NetworkTab view
Currently the network tab contains a limited amount of information on the resources that were loaded in the browser. This change proposes extending the details displayed for each resource, to include:
- HTTP method,
- Full url,
- Easily visible response content type,
- Request headers,
- Request & response bodies.
Such level of information could help quickly understand what happened in the application, when it was communicating with backend services. This can help debug tests quicker to figure out why they are failing.
This implementation still needs some clean up & tests improvement, but I wanted to propose such changes and gather your feedback before going too far.
- 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.
