Playwright Recorder

Playwright Recorder - Test Automation Made Simple Playwright Recorder is a powerful Chrome extension that allows you to record browser interactions and automatically generate Playwright test scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, and C# (.NET). It is perfect for QA engineers, developers, and automation testers who want to create reliable automated tests without writing code manually. 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 🆕 NEW in v4.0: Hover, Key Press & Scroll Recording, Double-Click & Right-Click, File Upload, Smart Navigation Wrapping, Click-to-Assert Builder, Inline Step Editor & Tailwind Selector Fix 🖱️ Hover Recording — Captures mouseover interactions on interactive elements with smart 400ms debounce to avoid noise. 🔑 Key Press Recording — Records meaningful keyboard events: Enter, Tab, Escape, arrow keys, and all F1–F12 function keys. 📜 Scroll Recording — Tracks scroll wheel actions with delta accumulation, generating page.mouse.wheel() calls for precise scroll tests. 👆👆 Double-Click & Right-Click — Records dblclick and right-click (context menu) interactions across all 5 languages. 📎 File Upload Recording — Captures <input type="file"> interactions and generates page.setInputFiles() with the selected filenames. 🔀 Smart Navigation Wrapping — Automatically detects when a click triggers a page navigation and wraps it in Promise.all([page.waitForURL(), page.click()]) so tests don't race. Works in all 5 languages. ✅ Click-to-Assert Builder — Hit the Assert button, click any element, and get an instant expect() assertion — toHaveText, toHaveValue, or toBeVisible chosen automatically. ✏️ Inline Step Editor — Double-click any recorded step's details to edit it in-place. Press Enter to save, Escape to cancel. 🆕 NEW in v3.0: Dark Mode, Pause/Resume Recording, Step Labels, Auto-Assertions, Per-Action Delete, Copy to Clipboard & Toast Notifications • 🌙 Dark Mode - Toggle between light and dark themes with your preference saved between sessions. • ⏸ Pause & Resume - Pause recording mid-session to handle popups or manual steps, then resume without losing any recorded actions. • 🏷️ Step Labels - Insert named markers between actions (e.g. "Login flow", "Fill form"). Labels appear as readable comments in the generated script. • ✅ Auto-Assertions - Automatically inserts URL assertions after every navigation step so your tests validate page state with zero extra work. • 🗑 Per-Action Delete - Hover over any recorded action and click × to remove it individually. No need to clear everything and re-record. • 📋 Copy to Clipboard - Copy the generated script instantly without exporting to a file first. • 🔔 Toast Notifications - Real-time feedback for every action — recording started, action removed, script copied, export complete. • Multi-Language Support - Generate test scripts in JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, or C# (.NET) with a simple dropdown selection. • Session Persistence - Save authentication state (cookies + localStorage) to skip login flows. Load saved states to instantly authenticate in tests without repeating login steps. • Network Recording - Capture HTTP requests and automatically generate page.route() mocks. Perfect for testing without hitting real APIs or creating deterministic tests. • ARIA Selectors - Generate accessibility-first selectors using getByRole() and ARIA attributes. These selectors are more resilient to UI changes and improve test stability. • Mobile Emulation - Select from popular devices (iPhone, iPad, Pixel) to generate tests with proper viewport and user agent configuration for mobile testing. • One-Click Recording - Start recording your browser actions with a single click. • Accurate Selectors - Automatically generates robust CSS selectors that work even when the page structure changes. • Multi-Tab Support - Records actions across different tabs and windows. • Navigation Tracking - Captures all page navigations and URL changes automatically. • Real-Time Preview - See your Playwright script generated in real-time as you interact with web pages. • Custom Filename - Name your test scripts with the correct file extension automatically applied. • Resizable Interface - Adjust the panels to focus on either recorded actions or generated code. • Export Ready Scripts - Download complete, ready-to-run Playwright scripts with proper syntax.
