Overview

  • extends: [EventEmitter]

A Browser is created via [‘method: BrowserType.launch`]. An example of using a `Browser` to create a `Page`:

“‘python sync from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def run(playwright):

firefox = playwright.firefox
browser = firefox.launch()
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:

run(playwright)

“‘

Constructor Details

This class inherits a constructor from Playwright::PlaywrightApi

Instance Method Details

#browser_typeObject

Get the browser type (chromium, firefox or webkit) that the browser belongs to.



22
23
24
# File 'lib/playwright_api/browser.rb', line 22

def browser_type
  wrap_impl(@impl.browser_type)
end

#closeObject

In case this browser is obtained using [‘method: BrowserType.launch`], closes the browser and all of its pages (if any were opened).

In case this browser is connected to, clears all created contexts belonging to this browser and disconnects from the browser server.

> NOTE: This is similar to force quitting the browser. Therefore, you should call [‘method: BrowserContext.close`] on any `BrowserContext`’s you explicitly created earlier with [‘method: Browser.newContext`] before calling [`method: Browser.close`].

The ‘Browser` object itself is considered to be disposed and cannot be used anymore.

# File 'lib/playwright_api/browser.rb', line 37

def close
  wrap_impl(@impl.close)
end

#connected?Boolean

Indicates that the browser is connected.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/playwright_api/browser.rb', line 54

def connected?
  wrap_impl(@impl.connected?)
end

#contextsObject

Returns an array of all open browser contexts. In a newly created browser, this will return zero browser contexts.

“‘python sync browser = pw.webkit.launch() print(len(browser.contexts())) # prints `0` context = browser.new_context() print(len(browser.contexts())) # prints `1` “`

def contexts
  wrap_impl(@impl.contexts)
end

#new_browser_cdp_sessionObject

> NOTE: CDP Sessions are only supported on Chromium-based browsers.

Returns the newly created browser session.

Creates a new browser context. It won’t share cookies/cache with other browser contexts.

> NOTE: If directly using this method to create ‘BrowserContext`s, it is best practice to explicitly close the returned context via [`method: BrowserContext.close`] when your code is done with the `BrowserContext`, and before calling [`method: Browser.close`]. This will ensure the `context` is closed gracefully and any artifacts—like HARs and videos—are fully flushed and saved.

“‘python sync browser = playwright.firefox.launch() # or “chromium” or “webkit”. # create a new incognito browser context. context = browser.new_context() # create a new page in a pristine context. page = context.new_page() page.goto(“example.com”)

# gracefully close up everything context.close() browser.close() “‘

Creates a new page in a new browser context. Closing this page will close the context as well.

This is a convenience API that should only be used for the single-page scenarios and short snippets. Production code and testing frameworks should explicitly create [‘method: Browser.newContext`] followed by the

‘method: BrowserContext.newPage`

to control their exact life times.

You can use [‘method: Browser.startTracing`] and [`method: Browser.stopTracing`] to create a trace file that can be opened in Chrome DevTools performance panel.

“‘python sync browser.start_tracing(page, path=“trace.json”) page.goto(“www.google.com”) browser.stop_tracing() “`
