chrome extension testing

I have some tests on chrome extensions and also had some issues, but they were mainly related with the extension service worker lifecycle

const worker = context.serviceWorkers()[0] ?? await context.waitForEvent('serviceworker');

    // wait for initialization
    await worker.evaluate(() => new Promise<void>((resolve, reject) => {
      if (serviceWorker.state !== 'activated') {
        serviceWorker.addEventListener('statechange', () => {
          if (serviceWorker.state === 'activated') resolve();
        });
        serviceWorker.addEventListener('error', reject);
      } else {
        resolve();
      }
    }));

another thing: that documentation is for manifest V2, not V3

in v3, they recommend service workers instead of backgroundPage

and in my case, I was using manifest v3

We’re also using V3 but the python documentation at least has the recommended service workers. Have you found any other good info sources on working with extensions in playwright? I’ve found a couple articles but not a lot. Once the kiddo is asleep I’ll check out your code more closely to see what I can glean.

no, my tests just needed to run some code in the worker, not much more

Thanks. That’s still good to know.
