Why Playwright not able to handle different operating systems or browser versions?

Playwright automation framework supports multiple browsers such as Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. However, if your system has an issue with Playwright, then there is a chance that you might not be able to handle different OS and browsers, for a such case you try these solutions:

  • Use BrowserType to launch specific browser instances.
    • You can use the '.connect()' method to attach Playwright with the existing browser instance.
    • Use 'connect_over_cdp' to connect Playwright with the existing browser instance with Chrome DevTool protocol.
  • Make sure you are using the most updated version of Playwright, where the bugs in the previous version might be resolved.
  • Check for required dependencies for Playwright, Such as Python, Chrome, or Firefox. Make sure that those dependencies are installed and configured.
  • Try to use different browsers and OS versions to test your webpage and find major errors. You can test on unsupported browsers and OS versions later once the issue is resolved.
