Koushik! You're amazing like a Playwright. I think that your channel is like a diamond! The best one for sure!

Do you think Playwright will be more popular than Selenium? Your thoughts?

Do you know if this works if you have authentication in global config? I'm trying to start trace in beforeAll() but in never starts.

Hi Koushik! Can I contact with you, because on video, screenshot, and tarce but nothing in the test result folder. And i tried everything but can not figure it out what is the problem

what the browser with the viewer, u said webkit ?
and does it work with the 'auth.json ' ?

Do we still need to use context.trace() even with the playwright 1.17? i was going through the doc and i can see "trace" option to be configured as part of the playwrightTestConfig. i make the trace as "on" and i could also see the trace.zip file generated. Am i missing something here?

[prasadverma]

Koushik how can I contact you. Need your support with implementation of playwright with cucumber. Thank you

[arvindsamy]

Bro I have some doubts how to contact you

[nomanshahid]

TAAAAHT'S freaking awesome, I looove Playwright and you of course 😜.
the BEFORE/AFTER, I thought it was a screenshot, is it the html rendered or a video because I see the ads animated ?
