PlaywrightPad Runner

PlaywrightPad Runner is the official companion extension for PlaywrightPad (https://playwrightpad.in), the modern web-based IDE designed for writing, running, and debugging Playwright test suites. Why Install PlaywrightPad Runner? By default, web applications run inside sandboxed browser environments that cannot access your local operating system or run native automation tests. The PlaywrightPad Runner bridges this gap seamlessly, allowing you to run your tests locally with headed mode (visible browser windows) on your actual machine. Key Features: - Local Test Execution: Execute your Playwright script suites directly on your local system with a single click from the PlaywrightPad web app. - Headed & Headless Toggles: Run your tests in fully headed mode to watch the automation run in real-time, or headless mode for fast background execution. - Ultra-Secure Local Communication: Built using secure Native Messaging protocols to ensure your scripts only execute commands that you authorize. No wildcard origins or external data leakage. - Real-Time Logs & Reports: Streams execution logs, console output, and final HTML test reports directly back to your PlaywrightPad web dashboard. - Developer-First Design: Works out-of-the-box with Chrome Web Store safety compliance. Zero configuration needed for production use. How It Works: 1. Install this extension. 2. Visit PlaywrightPad (https://playwrightpad.in). 3. Connect your local environment and run any test suite. The extension handles communication between the web IDE and your local Playwright test runner. Start automating and debugging with ease today!
