Granting Clipboard Read Permissions in Playwright

You might need to read data from the clipboard while testing with @playwright/test. To do this, you need to grant the 'clipboard-read' permission.

Granting Permissions

In Playwright, you can grant permissions using the context.grantPermissions() method. Here's how you can do it:

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('clipboard-read permission', async ({ context }) => {
  await context.grantPermissions(['clipboard-read']);
});

Reading from Clipboard

Once the permission is granted, you can read data from the clipboard using the navigator.clipboard.readText() method.

test('read from clipboard', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.evaluate(async () => {
    const clipboardData = await navigator.clipboard.readText();
    console.log(clipboardData);
  });
});

Remember, the user must explicitly grant this permission. Also, some browsers may need additional configuration for clipboard access. So, ensure you've configured your browser settings correctly.
