We get relative registry path when PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH or HOME is relative. In this case, it would be good to resolve to the same absolute path during installation and execution, and we can usually do that using INIT_CWD. |

Managing and Publishing Playwright Packages
Overview
- Playwright ships multiple packages to NPM. All packages that are published to NPM are listed as folders under
//packages/. - Playwright's root package.json is never published to NPM. It is only used for devmode, e.g. when running
npm installwith no arguments or installing from github. - Playwright dependencies for all packages are the same and are managed with the
root package.json. - Playwright browser versions for all packages are the same and are managed with the
browsers.json.
Note
As of May 20, 2020, the only exception is the
playwright-electronpackage that doesn't follow the pack and is published manually. This is due to it's pre-1.0 status.
Building NPM package
To build a package that will be shipped to NPM, use //packages/build_package.js script.
The script populates package folder with contents, and then uses npm pack to archive the folder.
As of May 20, 2020, //packages/build_package.js does the following:
- copies certain files and folders from
playwright-internalto the subpackage (e.g.//lib,//types,//LICENSEetc) - generates
package.jsonand puts it in the subpackage - generates
browsers.jsonand puts it in the subpackage - uses
npm packto pack the subpackage folder - removes all the files that were added during the process
To build playwright package and save result as ./playwright.tgz file:
$ ./packages/build_package.js playwright ./playwright.tgz
To debug what files are put into the folder, use --no-cleanup flag and inspect the package folder:
$ ./packages/build_package.js playwright ./playwright.tgz --no-cleanup
$ ls ./packages/playwright # inspect the folder
Testing packages
To test packages, use //packages/installation-tests/installation-tests.sh.
Publishing packages
All package publishing happens exclusively over CI/CD using the //utils/publish_all_packages.sh script.
Special handling for playwright-electron
playwright-electronversion is pre-1.0.0 and thus managed separately. It's specified inside the//packages/build_package.jsfile.playwright-electronis published manually.
To publish a new version of playwright-electron:
- Bump
playwright-electronversion inside//packages/build_package.js - Submit PR with the updated version
- Build package with
./build_package.js playwright-electron ./playwright-electron.tgz - Publish package with
npm publish playwright-electron.tgz
