Default timeout is set to 0 (= no timeout).Additional useful defaults are configured when -debug is used: This configures Playwright for debugging and opens the inspector. Run your tests with the -debug flag to open the inspector. It allows you to step through your tests, live edit locators, pick locators and see actionability logs.

The Playwright Inspector is a GUI tool to help you debug your Playwright tests. To learn more about debugging, see Debugging in Visual Studio Code. You can run tests in debug mode by right clicking the line number where your test is and selecting 'Debug Test' from the menu. Each time you run your test in debug mode it will use the profile you selected. Then choose the test profile you would like to use for debugging your tests. You can debug your tests on different browsers by right clicking on the debug icon in the testing sidebar and clicking on the 'Select Default Profile' option from the dropdown. Debug in different Browsers īy default debugging is done using the Chromium profile. You can step through the tests, pause the test and rerun the tests from the menu in VS Code. Run the tests in debug mode by right clicking on the line next to the test you want to run.Ī browser window will open and the test will run and pause at where the breakpoint is set. To set a breakpoint click next to the line number where you want the breakpoint to be until a red dot appears. If Playwright finds multiple elements matching the locator, it will improve the locator to make it resilient and uniquely identify the target element, so you don't have to worry about failing tests due to locators. Playwright will look at your page and figure out the best locator, prioritizing role, text and test id locators. Press 'enter' on your keyboard to copy the locator into the clipboard and then paste anywhere in your code. Then in the browser click the element you require and it will now show up in the Pick locator box in VS Code. Pick a locator and copy it into your test file by clicking the Pick locator button form the testing sidebar.

You can also edit the locators in VS Code and Playwright will show you the changes live in the browser window. Playwright will also show you if there are multiple matches. After running a test with the Show Browser option checked, click on any of the locators in VS Code and it will be highlighted in the Browser window. If your test fails VS Code will show you error messages right in the editor showing what was expected, what was received as well as a complete call log. With the VS Code extension you can debug your tests right in VS Code, see error messages, set breakpoints and step through your tests. We recommend using the VS Code Extension for debugging for a better developer experience.
