This website is built using Docusaurus. Content is pulled from the microsoft/playwright repo.

Development

Setup the repo

npm install

Roll docs

SRC_DIR=../playwright npm run roll

Remove old release

node src/versions.js --delete 1.16

Run dev server

npm run start-nodejs

> [!IMPORTANT] > The docs will start up in "current release" mode by default. To see the latest version of the docs (and likely your changes), visit /next or press shift 5 times.

See package.json for other languages (java, python, .NET).

Run prod build and serve

npm run build
npm run serve

Running this on Windows

To roll the docs in PowerShell, make sure you set the env variable correctly, i.e.:

$env:SRC_DIR="C:\Users\user\src\playwright"; npm run roll

Run end-to-end tests

Run on local machine

Run this on one terminal:

npm run start-nodejs

and this on another, it will automatically use the local docusaurus server:

npx playwright test nodejs

Run on different environment

You can set the BASE_URL=https://playwright.dev env var, otherwise http://localhost:3000 gets used by default.

Publishing Doc Changes After a Release

Stable docs rolling

1. Go to the Release GitHub Actions workflow 1. Execute it and wait for the PR getting created. The PR will copy changes from the release branch in playwright repo. 2. Review the PR and merge it.
