## Playwright for Browser Rendering now available

Apr 04, 2025, 02:00 PM

[Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/)

We're excited to share that you can now use Playwright's browser automation [capabilities](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-playwright) from Cloudflare [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/).

[Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) is an open-source package developed by Microsoft that can do browser automation tasks; it's commonly used to write software tests, debug applications, create screenshots, and crawl pages. Like [Puppeteer](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/platform/puppeteer/), we [forked](https://github.com/cloudflare/playwright) Playwright and modified it to be compatible with Cloudflare Workers and [Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/).

Below is an example of how to use Playwright with Browser Rendering to test a TODO application using assertions:

```ts
import { launch, type BrowserWorker } from '@cloudflare/playwright';
import { expect } from '@cloudflare/playwright/test';


interface Env {
  MYBROWSER: BrowserWorker;
}


export default {
  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env) {


    const browser = await launch(env.MYBROWSER);
    const page = await browser.newPage();


    await page.goto('https://demo.playwright.dev/todomvc');


    const TODO_ITEMS = [
        'buy some cheese',
        'feed the cat',
        'book a doctors appointment'
    ];


    const newTodo = page.getByPlaceholder('What needs to be done?');
    for (const item of TODO_ITEMS) {
        await newTodo.fill(item);
        await newTodo.press('Enter');
    }


    await expect(page.getByTestId('todo-title')).toHaveCount(TODO_ITEMS.length);


    await Promise.all(TODO_ITEMS.map(
        (value, index) => expect(page.getByTestId('todo-title').nth(index)).toHaveText(value)
    ));
  },
};
```

Playwright is available as an npm package at [`@cloudflare/playwright`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cloudflare/playwright) and the code is at [GitHub](https://github.com/cloudflare/playwright).
