To get the browser context of a window opened by an Electron app using Playwright, follow these steps:
Launch the Electron app: Use the electron.launch()
method to launch an instance of your Electron app.
import { electron } from '@playwright/test';
const electronApp = await electron.launch({ args: ['--app-path', 'path/to/your/app'] });
Listen for new windows: Use the on('window')
event to listen for new windows created and loaded in your app. This event provides a Page
object for Playwright automation.
let mainWindow: Page;
electronApp.on('window', async (window: Page) => {
mainWindow = window;
});
Get the browser context: Use the context()
method of the ElectronApplication
instance to get the browser context.
const browserContext = electronApp.context();
Now you have the browser context of the window opened by your Electron app, and you can use it for setting up context-wide routing or other tasks.
Remember to close the Electron app using the close()
method when you're done interacting with it:
await electronApp.close();
By following these steps, you can effectively obtain the browser context of a window opened by an Electron app using Playwright.
