Issues using `playwright-lighthouse` npm package

Hi! I'm new doing non-functional testing (performance and loading testing). I've came this npm package, and followed the examples suggested in the README (especially the basic sample and this one for authenticated routes). Literally, I copied and pasted the first example in my project, but I got these errors in the import { test } from "@playwright/test"; and page: page, (inside playAudit) lines.-

import { playAudit } from 'playwright-lighthouse'
import playwright from 'playwright'
import { test } from "@playwright/test";

test.describe('audit example', () => {
    test('open browser', async () => {
        const browser = await playwright['chromium'].launch({
            args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222'],
        });
        const page = await browser.newPage();
        await page.goto('https://angular.io/');

        await playAudit({
            page: page,       // It throws an error: The expected type comes from property 'page' which is declared here on type 'playwrightLighthouseConfig'
            thresholds: {
                performance: 50,
                accessibility: 50,
                'best-practices': 50,
                seo: 50,
                pwa: 50,
            },
            port: 9222,
        });

        await browser.close();
    });
});
Type 'import("/Users/myUsername/folder/toMy/automationFramework/node_modules/playwright/node_modules/playwright-core/types/types").Page' is not assignable to type 'import("/Users/myUsername/folder/toMy/automationFramework/node_modules/playwright-core/types/types").Page'.ts(2322)

This thread is trying to answer question "How can the errors encountered while using the 'playwright-lighthouse' npm package be resolved?"

require() of ES Module /Users/myUsername/folder/toMy/automationFramework/node_modules/playwright-lighthouse/index.js from /Users/myUsername/folder/toMy/automationFramework/partnersio_e2e_tests/tests/performance-lighthouse/sample_1.spec.ts not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/myUsername/folder/toMy/automationFramework/tests/performance-lighthouse/sample_1.spec.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.playwright

I did another example, using the logic I've in my existing framework but with authenticated routes, and I'm still getting the same errors. My code looks like this.-

Which version are you using? I remembered that I got the same issue. So I sticked to this version. { "lighthouse": "^9.6.8", "playwright-lighthouse": "^2.2.2",

import { chromium } from 'playwright';
import { playAudit } from 'playwright-lighthouse'
import playwright from 'playwright'
import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
import os from 'os';
import path from 'path';
import ENV from '../../utils/ENV';

test.describe('Manager login performance tests', async () => {
    test('Manager should be able to login into the platform, and then logout the platform', async () => {
        const userDataDir = path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'pw', String(Math.random()));
        const context = await chromium.launchPersistentContext(userDataDir, {
            args: ['--remote-debugging-port=9222'],
        });
        const page = await context.newPage();
        
        await test.step('STEP 0: Open login page', async () => {
            await page.goto(ENV.MANAGER_LOGIN_URL);
        });

        await test.step('STEP 1: Login into the platform', async () => {
            await page.locator('#username').type('username');
            await page.locator('#password').type('password');
            await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Log in' }).click();

            page.waitForURL('**/admin/dashboard', { timeout: 3000 });

            // Check if header from Dashboard page is loaded
            expect(await page.locator('#header').isVisible()).toBeTruthy();
        });

// continue in the next comment
await test.step("STEP 2: Audit", async () => {
            await playAudit({
                thresholds: {
                    performance: 50,
                    accessibility: 50,
                    'best-practices': 50,
                    seo: 50,
                    pwa: 50,
                },
                ignoreError: true,
                port: 9222,
                page: page,
                reports:
                {
                    "formats": { html: true, csv: true, json: true },
                    name: "lighthouse-report-auth",
                    directory: "lighthous-report" + Date.now().toString()
                },
            });
        });

        await test.step('STEP 3: Logout the platform', async () => {
            await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
            await page.waitForSelector('#logout');
            await page.click('#logout');
            await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');

            // Check if form from Login page is loaded
            expect(page.locator('#login-form').isVisible()).toBeTruthy();
        });

        await context.close();
    });
});

@kobenguyent: Hi! I'm using these versions (latest ones).- * "playwright-lighthouse": "^3.1.0", * "lighthouse": "^11.3.0", * "playwright": "^1.39.0", The libraries the author recommends to install: ` npm install --save-dev playwright-lighthouse playwright lighthouse`

Hi! I'm using these versions (latest ones).-

  • "playwright-lighthouse": "^3.1.0",
  • "lighthouse": "^11.3.0",
  • "playwright": "^1.39.0",

The libraries the author recommends to install:

npm install --save-dev playwright-lighthouse playwright lighthouse

You could try the versions I mentioned to see if that worked for you.

@kobenguyent: About `playwright`, the version is ok?

About playwright, the version is ok?

I think that’ll be okay

@kobenguyent: I installed these new versions. Error on `import { test } from "@playwright/test";` is not avaiable anymore, but the error on page prop remains (with new issues).

I'm using TypeScript in my project (the default configuration suggested by Playwright when I installed it)

I currently use the CodeceptJS which is wrapping the playwright APIs. If you don’t need to stick with playwright/tests runner. You could try this. https://github.com/kobenguyent/codeceptjs-lighthouse-helper

these are the deps I have that worked 100% for lighthouse tests with playwright for me

"@playwright/test": "^1.38.1",
    "dotenv": "^16.3.1",
    "pdf2json": "^3.0.4",
    "playwright-lighthouse": "^3.1.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "lighthouse": "^10.4.0"
  }

I did the downgrade of playwright-lighthouse and lighthouse to 2.2.2 and 9.6.8 , and I have this issue.-

@ondra123.: Didn't work for me using these versions 😢

Didn't work for me using these versions 😢

These were the 2 versions I had to use to get it working. "lighthouse": "^9.6.8", "playwright-lighthouse": "^2.2.2",

This is what my test looks like. Note: I am using context generated by another session and passing to this test.

@anonymouse: Same with my thought https://discord.com/channels/807756831384403968/1171055235872071764/1171057000474484777

@kobenguyent @anonymouse

I found the error (after doing more research and thanks to GitHub Copilot jajaja), and it was the incompatibility of the page value sent to the prop: playwright-lighthouse expects a Page object from playwright-core, not playwright.

Instead of using the default playwright import, I changed it to import { chromium, Page } from 'playwright-core', and it worked.

And, I downgraded the versions as suggested here: "lighthouse": "^9.6.8" and "playwright-lighthouse": "^2.2.2".
