chore: remove JS types checker, rely on typescript
We keep checking that all methods are documented, and no extra methods
are documented, but rely on typescript for everything else.
This patch:
- moves ffmpeg binaries from `//bin/` to `//third_party/ffmpeg`
- adds [COPYING.GPLv3](https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/COPYING.GPLv3)
ffmpeg license
- changes npm packaging to include `//third_party/ffmpeg` only in `playwright` and `playwrihgt-chromium` a
As of today, we have tooling in place that makes sure that our
main README.md **roughly** represents the state of the last release:
- browser versions and browser badges are those that we released last
- links to our API point to the last-released API version
This tooling, however, relies on the fact that every release is a sequence
of two consecutive commits:
- one commit that sets `package.json` version to a released version
- the following that "bumps" version to `-post`.
This release process is very unfortunate, because:
- it made releasing from branch impossible
- it required "freezing" commits to the master branch
This patch removes all the tooling and transitions `README.md` to always
represent tip-of-tree state. We will fully rely on
`https://playwright.dev` to show versioned docs.
This introduces a handful of new markdown preprocessor commands to
insert browser versions:
- `GEN:chromium-version-if-release` - inserts current Chromium version
if we're doing release; noop otherwise.
- `GEN:firefox-version-if-release` - inserts current Firefox version
if we're doing release; noop otherwise.
And to generate badge links:
- `GEN:chromium-version-badge-if-release` - inserts current Chromium version
badge if we're doing release; noop otherwise.
- `GEN:firefox-version-badge-if-release` - inserts current Firefox version
badge if we're doing release; noop otherwise.
This doesn't touch webkit at all - we're yet to figure what to do with
webkit version.
NOTE: versions will be updated only once we release. This way our
README.md always represents last released version.
This is mostly copied from Puppeteer's troubleshooting.md, with everything under a Chromium header and a few tweaks to make things make sense for Playwright.
We can add other browsers to this document once we figure out how to troubleshoot them.
Fixes#583
