What is Playwright? (🎭 Playwright introduction tutorial, features & demo)

In this episode, we take a look at a relatively new automation tool called 🎭Playwright: what it is, how to install it, how to generate scripts without writing code, how to interact with elements on the screen, and finally, how to take screenshots and videos of your run. During the demo, we'll have a go at the Playwright Inspector as well. Oh, and it's a beginner tutorial, so you don't need any coding experience to follow through.

Great tutorial, man. I was going to ask you how does Playwright compare to Selenium, but the next recommended video will answer this exact question. Looking forward to your new videos.

[Bayanda]

Great video, makes me wanna get started on it immediately

This seems very promising as a tool - curious what else it can do. Waiting for sequeeels ! :)

I've been looking for a way to switch the POE on/off on various unifi switch ports for ages. I had hoped to write simple scripts to SSH into the switch and toggle the power, but unifi doesn't have that functionality and it's possible only via the web browser.

This is the PERFECT solution to do what I need. Very excited to try it out!

[aleskral]

Thanks, it showed me in short time more than a web tutorials during a hours...

[matthiasmuller]

I totally agree with Daniel Gilleland. There are not many such clear tuts (means regarding Playwright I found NONE). I'd wish more for this topic. ^^

[cyrelm]

Thanks for the great intro video. Playwright should consider making this their getting started vid.

This is a very nice and sweet video and provide a very good overview of Playwright. Any plan on making it a series to go more in depth in various topics such as multibrowsers, file upload, and Api just to name a few?

[TechiesUnofficial]

That is one powerful software. And excellent explanation.
