1.38 version not showing POST request body in trace view network tab for some api calls
For most of the api calls I see POST request body and response body in trace view network tab. But for some reason it’s empty for some other calls.
I know for sure that the request succeeded as I see the response content in the UI, but somehow I don’t see it captured in playwright trace view. I am using Ubuntu Jammy docker image.
I didn’t encounter this issue with 1.37 . It’s an important issue for me full network logs are very helpful when debugging and this issue is preventing me from upgrading to 1.38. Anyone else encounter this issue ? Any workarounds or suggestions ?
This thread is trying to answer question "Why is the POST request body not showing in the trace view network tab for some API calls in version 1.38?"
The POST API request for our use case definitely have a request body which has a query parameter for querying our db. So when the POST response body is empty or has error in it it’s useful to know the query we sent - that was part of request body . It seems like this issue is Ubuntu jammy specific and didn’t happen on my Mac , but I will double check this later today.
I uploaded screenshots showing that for some POST API calls the request body is getting captured , but not for others. Initially, i thought it's Ubuntu specific but it seems to happen on my local MAC as well. Also, it seems to happen randomly in 1.37 version as well as 1.38.
I confirmed from Chrome dev tool network tab that there is indeed a Request payload/body for these POST API calls. So it seems to be a Playwright issue not capturing Request payload for certain POST API calls.
For now i am thinking of creating a reproducible case so i can create a bug for this in playwright github. Any advice on how to resolve it/workaround would be great.
