This thread is trying to answer question "How can I set baseURL for current context and page when connection over CDP, without creating new context and page?"

try connectOverCDP instead of connect.

Actually did it and override the fixtures so it doesnt have to be defined in every test and works! Thanks

I feel like its almost done, but I have a issue setting baseUrl for the browser connected over CDP.

I have this:

export const test = base.extend<MyFixtures>({

  browser: async ({ browser }, use) => {
    if (!process.env.CI) {
      browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP('http://localhost:3000');
    } else {
      browser = await chromium.launch();
    }
    await use(browser);
    await browser.close();
  },

  page: async ({ browser }, use) => {
    let page: Page;
    if (!process.env.CI) {
      const defaultContext = browser.contexts()[0];
      console.log(defaultContext.pages().length);
      page = defaultContext.pages()[0];
    } else {
      const context = await browser.newContext();
      page = await context.newPage();
    }
    await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1336, height: 720 });
    page.setDefaultTimeout(10000);
    page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(10000);
    await use(page);
  },

when I try:

test('Browser test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/docs/intro');
  await page.waitForURL('https://playwright.dev/docs/intro');
});

it fails on

navigating to "/docs/intro", waiting until "load"

But I would prefer to set the baseURL and not typing the whole URL

But still wondering how can I set baseURL for current context and page when connection over CDP, without creating new context and page
