First, you need to specify the custom browser binary path. Use the executablePath
option when launching the browser. This allows you to run a specific browser executable instead of the bundled one. Here's how to do it:
const { chromium } = require('@playwright/test');
async function captureOutputToFile() {
const browser = await chromium.launch({
executablePath: 'https://ray.run/path/to/custom/browser',
});
// Your code here...
await browser.close();
}
captureOutputToFile();
Next, you'll want to capture stderr and stdout output and redirect them to a file. You can do this using shell redirection operators when running your script. For example:
node my_script.js > output.txt
The >
operator overwrites any existing content in output.txt
, while >>
appends new content. To capture both stderr and stdout into separate files, use different operators for each stream:
node my_script.js > stdout.txt 2> stderr.txt
If you want both streams combined into one file while preserving their order, use:
node my_script.js > combined_output.txt 2>&1
Remember to replace my_script.js
with the name of your Playwright script. Now you're all set to capture stderr and stdout output to a file using a custom browser binary path in Playwright!
