How to use readIdentifier method in Playwright Internal

This question is quite close to a "need more focus" question. But let's try to give it some focus:

Does Playwright has access to the cPicker object on the page? Does it has access to the window object?

Yes, you can access both cPicker and the window object inside an evaluate call.

Should I trigger the events from the HTML file itself, and in the callbacks, print in the DOM the result, in some dummy-element, and then infer from that dummy element text that the callbacks fired?

Exactly, or you can assign values to a javascript variable:

const cPicker = new ColorPicker({
  onClickOutside(e){
  },
  onInput(color){
    window['color'] = color;
  },
  onChange(color){
    window['result'] = color;
  }
})

And then

it('Should call all callbacks with correct arguments', async() => {
    await page.goto(`http://localhost:5000/tests/visual/basic.html`, {waitUntil:'load'})

    // Wait until the next frame
    await page.evaluate(() => new Promise(requestAnimationFrame))

    // Act
   
    // Assert
    const result = await page.evaluate(() => window['color']);
    // Check the value
})

I played with your example for a while and I got the same errors. These are the things I found that made my example work:

It must be Linux. I know that you mentioned that you picked a Linux plan. But I found that in VS Code that part is hidden, and on the Web the default is Windows. This is important because only the Linux plan runs npm install on the server.

Make sure that you are building on the server. You can find this option in the VS Code Settings:

Make sure you set the environment variable PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH, before making the publish.

Well this is one way, but not sure if it will work for all possible locators!.

// Get a selector from a playwright locator
import { Locator } from "@playwright/test";
export function extractSelector(locator: Locator) {
    const selector = locator.toString();
    const parts = selector.split("@");
    if (parts.length !== 2) { throw Error("extractSelector: susupect that this is not a locator"); }
    if (parts[0] !== "Locator") { throw Error("extractSelector: did not find locator"); }
    return parts[1];
}

I found the error. It was because of some missing libraries need. I discovered this when I downgraded playwright to version 1.9 and ran the the code then this was the error msg:

A list of missing libraries was provided. After successful installments, firefox ran fine. I upgraded again to version 1.10 and firefox still works.
