- This leaves just `recordVideos` and `videoSize` options on the context.
- Videos are saved to `artifactsPath`. We also save their ids to trace.
- `context.close()` waits for the processed videos.
api(trace): introduce artifacts options
This introduces launch({ artifactsPath }) and newContext({ relativeArtifactsPath, recordTrace }) options.
- artifactsPath option controls the directory where all artifacts go. If not passed, artifacts are not collected.
- relativeArtifactsPath can be used to put context-specific artifacts into a subfolder. If not passed, shared artifactsPath is used.
- recordTrace controls trace recording.
We also expose trace types under playwright/types/trace.d.ts.
In the follow up:
- videos will be put into artifactsPath;
- downloads will be put into artifactsPath, or keep using existing downloadsPath when artifactsPath is not specified.
Sometimes, we are unable to take a frame snapshot. The most common
example would be "frame is stuck during the navigation in Chromium",
where we cannot evaluate until the frame is done navigating.
In this case, use all other frames and just stub the failing ones
with "Snapshot is not available". Chances are, noone will even see
this frame because it's an invisible tracking iframe.
- Fill and click actions pass metadata to Progress.
- Progress reports success/failure through instrumentation.
- Tracer consumes ActionResult and ActionMetadata and records them.
Currently, only click and fill actions pass metadata to
contain the size of the change. Everything else should follow.
This introduces basic tracing enabled in our tests.
What is captured:
- network resources;
- snapshots at the start of most actions;
- snapshot after the test failure.
How this integrates with test runner:
- context fixture calls private method context._initSnapshotter() and uses Tracer to trace all events;
- all tests share a single test-results/trace-storage directory to store blobs;
- each test has its own trace file.
- npm run show-trace opens a bare-minimum trace viewer that renders snapshots.
