THIS is Playwrights BEST Feature for Web Automation

Playwrights codegen feature will record your inputs and convert it to code, makign creating the basis of your automation script quick and easy. This is one of the best features in my opinion as it saves a LOT of time writing out selectors and clicks and fills. It's not perfect though as we find out.

This video runs through an example of how to automate buying and item online for testing purposes to demonstrate what Playwright it capable of. We overcome some scrolling issues and output the final piece of data to out terminal.

Thanks John 👍👍
The website has changed and while I couldn't follow your example exactly I did use the codegen and extracted the total price of the cart. Couldn't use page.query_selector and instead used:

Seems a bit messy and can understand why it might be easier to get it to BeautifulSoup.
Thanks again. Great video and great tool.

Thanks for your video! question: can we use toBeVisible() method instead of click(), when we are checking presence of element in the page?

[narutocole]

Ok yeah you just talked me in to switching to playwright lol

Are there any reasons now to use selenium at all? I mean it was useful only if you need to click something or input, but playwright can do that now.

I'm trying to automate saving of a video clip via a web UI that gets clips from a server. The mpeg video doesn't load in chromium. Is there a way to record the code using chrome?

wouldn't it be better to use data-testIDs instead of simulating the scrolling behavior?
