Excerpt

Browser Automation with playwright-cli

The workspace pins @playwright/cli. In the examples below, playwright-cli means pnpm --dir apps exec playwright-cli from the repository root. This keeps the examples short while using the lockfile version rather than an unrelated global installation.

Quick start

# open new browser
playwright-cli open
# navigate to a page
playwright-cli goto https://playwright.dev
# interact with the page using refs from the snapshot
playwright-cli click e15
playwright-cli type "page.click"
playwright-cli press Enter
# take a screenshot (rarely used, as snapshot is more common)
playwright-cli screenshot
# close the browser
playwright-cli close

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
