Topics that we will cover:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Launch chromium browser (in header mode) using playwright<\/li>\n
Launch firefox browser using playwright<\/li>\n
Launch webkit browser using playwright<\/li>\n
Launch chrome browser using playwright<\/li>\n
Launch Microsoft Edge browser using playwright<\/li>\n
Source code (chromium, firefox, webkit)<\/li>\n
Source code (chrome, edge)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Launch chromium browser (in header mode) using playwright\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
By default, the playwright test runs in headless mode. In our previous blog, we executed a playwright test and the snapshot of the results is provided below. It is worth mentioning that the chromium browser was NOT launched during the execution of the test<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0To launch the browser, the test needs to be executed in header mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To activate the header mode, simply include the highlighted argument in the launch() method, as depicted below:<\/p>\n
launch(<\/em>new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false)<\/em>)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Launch firefox browser using playwright<\/strong><\/p>\n
In order to launch firefox browser, simply comment line#14 and add line#15<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Launch webkit browser using playwright<\/strong><\/p>\n
To launch webkit browser, see line#16<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Launch chrome browser using playwright<\/strong><\/p>\n
In order to start the Chrome browser, all we need to do is instantiate an object of the ‘LaunchOptions<\/em>‘ class, specify the channel as ‘chrome’, and ensure that the headless mode is set to false (see lines#15-17).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also, let us uncomment line#19 and comment line#21\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute the code, notice that the chrome browser launches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0Execute the code, notice that the edge browser gets launched\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
$\"\"$ <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
So this is how we can launch various browser types.<\/p>\n
