local browser error
Playwright is trying to run the browser as a browser installed on the local PC. However, an error occurs. What's the problem?
playwright.config.ts import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({ testDir: './tests', fullyParallel: true, forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI, retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0, workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined, reporter: 'html', use: { trace: 'on-first-retry', }, projects: [ { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], launchOptions: { executablePath: 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe', }, headless: false, }, },
test-1.spec.ts const { chromium } = require('@playwright/test');
(async () => { const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false, executablePath: 'C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe', });
This thread is trying to answer question "Why does an error occur when trying to run Playwright tests using the locally installed Chrome browser instead of Chromium?"
