Playwright Recorder

Record browser actions and generate Playwright test scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, and C# (.NET).

Playwright Recorder - Test Automation Made Simple Playwright Recorder is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to record browser interactions and automatically generate Playwright test scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, and C# (.NET). It is perfect for QA engineers, developers, and automation testers who want to create reliable automated tests without writing code manually. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 🆕 NEW: Session Persistence, Network Recording, ARIA Selectors, and Mobile Emulation (v1.3.0) • Multi-Language Support - Generate test scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, or C# (.NET) with a simple dropdown selection. • Session Persistence - Save authentication state (cookies + localStorage) to skip login flows. Load saved states to instantly authenticate in tests without repeating login steps. • Network Recording - Capture HTTP requests and automatically generate page.route() mocks. Perfect for testing without hitting real APIs or creating deterministic tests. • ARIA Selectors - Generate accessibility-first selectors using getByRole() and ARIA attributes. These selectors are more resilient to UI changes and improve test stability. • Mobile Emulation - Select from popular devices (iPhone, iPad, Pixel) to generate tests with proper viewport and user agent configuration for mobile testing. • One-Click Recording - Start recording your browser actions with a single click. • Accurate Selectors - Automatically generates robust CSS selectors that work even when the page structure changes. • Multi-Tab Support - Records actions across different tabs and windows. • Navigation Tracking - Captures all page navigations and URL changes automatically. • Real-Time Preview - See your Playwright script generated in real-time as you interact with web pages. • Custom Filename - Name your test scripts with the correct file extension automatically applied. • Resizable Interface - Adjust the panels to focus on either recorded actions or generated code. • Export Ready Scripts - Download complete, ready-to-run Playwright scripts with proper syntax. • Clean UI - Intuitive interface makes recording and managing test scripts simple. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝘀𝗲 • Install the extension and click on its icon in your Chrome toolbar. • Open the recorder window by clicking "Open Recorder." • Select your preferred programming language (JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, or C# (.NET)). • (Optional) Save authentication state by clicking "Save Auth State" if your site requires login. • (Optional) Enable "Record Network" to capture API calls for mocking. • (Optional) Enable "Use Aria Selectors" for more resilient accessibility-based selectors. • (Optional) Select a mobile device from the "Device" dropdown for mobile testing. • Click the green "Start Recording" button to begin. • Interact with your website normally by clicking links, filling forms, and navigating between pages. • Stop recording when finished. • Customize the filename if desired. • Click "Export Script" to save your generated Playwright script. • Run the exported script using Playwright in your automation project. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 Playwright Recorder generates scripts using the official Playwright API, making them compatible with any Playwright project.
