Do a curl request with playwright

That's not playwright related but node related. You can do in Playwright pretty much anything that you can do in node. The answer is yes.

Something like this probably

const command = `your curl here`

  exec(command, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(`Error executing cURL command: ${error}`)
      return
    }

    if (stderr) {
      console.error(`cURL command returned an error: ${stderr}`)
      return
    }

    console.log(`cURL command executed successfully. Response: ${stdout}`)
  })

thanks for reply. i tried it out but it seems the code is not executed.

@passe_bln try this test('test case description', async ({ page }) => { const curlCommand = curl 'localhost/path/to/endpoint' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Connection: keep-alive' -H 'DNT: 1' -H 'Origin: localhost' -H 'X-API-Key: 12345' --data-binary '{"datainfo"}' --compressed`;

const result = await page.evaluate(async (curlCommand) => { const response = await fetch(curlCommand, { compress: true }); const data = await response.json(); return data; }, curlCommand); expect(result).toEqual(/* expected value */); });`

did you import exec?

yep import is existing

thanks for your reply. i get an error "the argument { compress: true } is not compatible to RequestInit"

You should use the request fixture to make an http call

Yup request fixture: https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-apirequestcontext#api-request-context-get
