How do I log the headers of a request using Playwright?

Answer

To log the headers of a request using @playwright/test, you can use the request.headers() method from the Playwright API's Request class. This method returns an object containing all the HTTP headers associated with the request.

Here's a TypeScript example of how to log request headers using Playwright:

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

test('log request headers', async ({ page }) => {
  // Add an event listener for 'request' events
  page.on('request', (request) => {
    // Get the headers object
    const headers = request.headers();

    // Log the headers
    console.log('Request headers:', headers);
  });

  // Navigate to the website
  await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
});

If you want to log a specific header value, use the request.headerValue(name) method. This method returns a Promise that resolves to either null (if no matching header was found) or a string containing the value of the matching header.

Here's an example of logging a specific header value:

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

test('log specific request header', async ({ page }) => {
  // Add an event listener for 'request' events
  page.on('request', async (request) => {
    // Get the value of a specific header
    const headerValue = await request.headerValue('user-agent');

    // Log the header value
    console.log('User-Agent header value:', headerValue);
  });

  // Navigate to the website
  await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
});

These examples demonstrate how to log request headers using Playwright's Request class and the request.headers() and request.headerValue(name) methods.
