Overview

  • extends: [EventEmitter]

BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions.

If a page opens another page, e.g. with a ‘window.open` call, the popup will belong to the parent page’s browser context.

Playwright allows creating “incognito” browser contexts with [‘method: Browser.newContext`] method. “Incognito” browser contexts don’t write any browsing data to disk.

“‘python sync # create a new incognito browser context context = browser.new_context() # create a new page inside context. page = context.new_page() page.goto(“example.com”) # dispose context once it is no longer needed. context.close() “`

Instance Method Details

#add_cookies(cookies) ⇒ Object

Adds cookies into this browser context. All pages within this context will have these cookies installed. Cookies can be obtained via [‘method: BrowserContext.cookies`].

Usage

“‘python sync browser_context.add_cookies([cookie_object1, cookie_object2]) “`

# File 'lib/playwright_api/browser_context.rb', line 42

def add_cookies(cookies)
  wrap_impl(@impl.add_cookies(unwrap_impl(cookies)))
end

#add_init_script(path: nil, script: nil) ⇒ Object

Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:

  • Whenever a page is created in the browser context or is navigated.

  • Whenever a child frame is attached or navigated in any page in the browser context. In this case, the script is evaluated in the context of the newly attached frame.

The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed ‘Math.random`.

Usage

An example of overriding ‘Math.random` before the page loads:

“‘python sync # in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory. browser_context.add_init_script(path=“preload.js”) “`

NOTE: The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [‘method: BrowserContext.addInitScript`] and

‘method: Page.addInitScript`

is not defined.

#expect_event(event, predicate: nil, timeout: nil, &block) ⇒ Object

Waits for event to fire and passes its value into the predicate function. Returns when the predicate returns truthy value. Will throw an error if the context closes before the event is fired. Returns the event data value.

Usage

“‘python sync with context.expect_event(“page”) as event_info:

page.get_by_role("button").click()

page = event_info.value “‘

end

#expect_page(predicate: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Performs action and waits for a new ‘Page` to be created in the context. If predicate is provided, it passes `Page` value into the `predicate` function and waits for `predicate(event)` to return a truthy value. Will throw an error if the context closes before new `Page` is created.

end

#expose_binding(name, callback, handle: nil) ⇒ Object

The method adds a function called ‘name` on the `window` object of every frame in every page in the context. When called, the function executes `callback` and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of `callback`. If the `callback` returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

The first argument of the ‘callback` function contains information about the caller: `{ browserContext: BrowserContext, page: Page, frame: Frame }`.

See [‘method: Page.exposeBinding`] for page-only version.

Usage

An example of exposing page URL to all frames in all pages in the context:

“‘python sync from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def run(playwright):

webkit = playwright.webkit
browser = webkit.launch(headless=false)
context = browser.new_context()
context.expose_binding("pageURL", lambda source: source["page"].url)
page = context.new_page()
page.set_content("""
<script>
  async function onClick() {
    document.querySelector('div').textContent = await window.pageURL();
  }
</script>
<button onclick="onClick()">Click me</button>
<div></div>
""")
page.get_by_role("button").click()

with sync_playwright() as playwright:

run(playwright)

“‘

An example of passing an element handle:

“‘python sync def print(source, element):

print(element.text_content())

context.expose_binding(“clicked”, print, handle=true) page.set_content(“”“

<script>
  document.addEventListener('click', event => window.clicked(event.target));
</script>
<div>Click me</div>
<div>Or click me</div>

“”“) “‘

def expose_binding(name, callback, handle: nil)
  wrap_impl(@impl.expose_binding(unwrap_impl(name), unwrap_impl(callback), handle: unwrap_impl(handle)))
end

#expose_function(name, callback) ⇒ Object

The method adds a function called ‘name` on the `window` object of every frame in every page in the context. When called, the function executes `callback` and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of `callback`.

If the ‘callback` returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

See [‘method: Page.exposeFunction`] for page-only version.

Usage

An example of adding a ‘sha256` function to all pages in the context:

“‘python sync import hashlib from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

def sha256(text):

m = hashlib.sha256()
m.update(bytes(text, "utf8"))
return m.hexdigest()

def run(playwright):

webkit = playwright.webkit
browser = webkit.launch(headless=False)
context = browser.new_context()
context.expose_function("sha256", sha256)
page = context.new_page()
page.set_content("""
    <script>
      async function onClick() {
        document.querySelector('div').textContent = await window.sha256('PLAYWRIGHT');
      }
    </script>
    <button onclick="onClick()">Click me</button>
    <div></div>
""")
page.get_by_role("button").click()

#route(url, handler, times: nil) ⇒ Object

Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by any page in the browser context. Once route is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it’s continued, fulfilled or aborted.

NOTE: [‘method: BrowserContext.route`] will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See [this](github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting `Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers` to `’block’‘.

Usage

An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:

“‘python sync context = browser.new_context() page = context.new_page() context.route(“*/.png,jpg,jpeg”, lambda route: route.abort()) page.goto(“example.com”) browser.close() “`

or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:

“‘python sync context = browser.new_context() page = context.new_page() context.route(re.compile(r“(.png$)|(.jpg$)”), lambda route: route.abort()) page = await context.new_page() page = context.new_page() page.goto(“example.com”) browser.close() “`

It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:

“‘python sync def handle_route(route):

if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data)
  route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
else
  route.continue_()

context.route(“/api/**”, handle_route) “‘

Page routes (set up with [‘method: Page.route`]) take precedence over browser context routes when request matches both handlers.

To remove a route with its handler you can use [‘method: BrowserContext.unroute`].

NOTE: Enabling routing disables http cache.

end

#route_from_har(har, notFound: nil, update: nil, url: nil) ⇒ Object

If specified the network requests that are made in the context will be served from the HAR file. Read more about [Replaying from HAR](../network.md#replaying-from-har).

Playwright will not serve requests intercepted by Service Worker from the HAR file. See [this](github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting ‘Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers` to `’block’‘.

#set_default_navigation_timeout(timeout) ⇒ Object Also known as: default_navigation_timeout=

This setting will change the default maximum navigation time for the following methods and related shortcuts:

  • ‘method: Page.goBack`
  • ‘method: Page.goForward`
  • ‘method: Page.goto`
  • ‘method: Page.reload`
  • ‘method: Page.setContent`
  • ‘method: Page.waitForNavigation`

NOTE: [‘method: Page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`] and [`method: Page.setDefaultTimeout`] take priority over [`method: BrowserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`].

end

#set_default_timeout(timeout) ⇒ Object Also known as: default_timeout=

This setting will change the default maximum time for all the methods accepting ‘timeout` option.

NOTE: [‘method: Page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`], [`method: Page.setDefaultTimeout`] and

‘method: BrowserContext.setDefaultNavigationTimeout`

take priority over [‘method: BrowserContext.setDefaultTimeout`].

end

#set_extra_http_headers(headers) ⇒ Object Also known as: extra_http_headers=

The extra HTTP headers will be sent with every request initiated by any page in the context. These headers are merged with page-specific extra HTTP headers set with [‘method: Page.setExtraHTTPHeaders`]. If page overrides a particular header, page-specific header value will be used instead of the browser context header value.

NOTE: [‘method: BrowserContext.setExtraHTTPHeaders`] does not guarantee the order of headers in the outgoing requests.

end

#set_geolocation(geolocation) ⇒ Object Also known as: geolocation=

Sets the context’s geolocation. Passing ‘null` or `undefined` emulates position unavailable.

Usage

“‘python sync browser_context.set_geolocation(59.95, “longitude”: 30.31667) “`

NOTE: Consider using [‘method: BrowserContext.grantPermissions`] to grant permissions for the browser context pages to read its geolocation.

end

#wait_for_event(event, predicate: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

NOTE: In most cases, you should use [‘method: BrowserContext.waitForEvent`].

Waits for given ‘event` to fire. If predicate is provided, it passes event’s value into the ‘predicate` function and waits for `predicate(event)` to return a truthy value. Will throw an error if the browser context is closed before the `event` is fired.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)
