How to debug your Playwright scripts with the built-in inspector
AI Summary
The video presents a helpful Playwright tip focusing on the built-in Playwright Inspector tool. It demonstrates running a Playwright script initially in headless mode, where no browser UI appears, and then switching headless mode off to visibly see the browser actions. The key tip is using the
pwdebugflag when running the script, which launches the Playwright Inspector. This inspector allows developers to debug step-by-step through their scripts, showing exactly which DOM elements are interacted with at each step. This approach offers an efficient way to understand and troubleshoot Playwright end-to-end test scripts.
