Do interactors work with Playwright?

[paambaati]

As far as I could tell, there’s no documented support for Playwright.

Can this library made to be work with Playwright? Especially when the DOM is available only lazily?

Hi @paambaati! Thanks for your question.

The short answer is that there is no current integration between interactors and playwright. However there is no reason that one couldn't be written. The key thing is that the actual interactor code must be running in the browser. That means they must be bundled and loaded by playwright. If you are using the Playwright Test framework, then there is some extra work required because the actual test runner is running in NodeJS, while the page context is running in the browser.

You would need to add the interactors via some mechanism such as an init script https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-add-init-script and then invoke them with a JSHandle https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-jshandle

Eventually we could bundle this into a @interactors/with-playwright-test package so that you could just import them directly and skip this manual setup.

Page | Playwright

* extends: [EventEmitter]

JSHandle | Playwright

JSHandle represents an in-page JavaScript object. JSHandles can be created with the page.evaluateHandle(pageFunction[, arg]) method.
