Playwright Webdview Testing
WebView testing is an essential process for ensuring the functionality and reliability of applications that rely on embedded web browsers. This guide provides detailed steps to perform WebView testing using Playwright. It is designed for developers, QA engineers, and anyone involved in software quality assurance.
Steps to perform Webview testing
Step 1: Setup your test suite
You can use your own project to configure and test it. For demo purposes, we are using the sample repository.
Download or Clone the code sample from the LambdaTest GitHub repository to run your tests.
View on GitHub- If you are using your own project, configure the
browserWSEndpoint
(browser end point URL) in your test script to run the test on LambdaTest
wsEndpoint: `wss://cdp.lambdatest.com/playwright?capabilities=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(capabilities))}`
- Here is the sample test script for your reference:

Step 2: Update the dependencies
Before proceeding forward, run the below command to update the outdated dependencies
npm install
Step 3: Update your test Capabilities
Include the following field in the capabilities object to enable WebView testing:
const capabilities = {
"LT:Options": {
"platformName": "android",
"isRealMobile": true, //if true, test will run on real devices
"isPwMobileWebviewTest": true, //mandatory capability to enable WebView testing
},
Use our Capability Generator to select from a wide range of options for customizing your tests.
Step 4: Setup your LambdaTest credentials
In your terminal (as per your respective Operating System), run these command to setup your LambdaTest credentials.
You can see your credentials below if you have logged into our platform.
- Linux / MacOS
- Windows
export LT_USERNAME="undefined"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"
set LT_USERNAME="undefined"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="undefined"
Step 5: Execute your test
Replace the TEST_FILE_NAME
in the below command with your desired test file to execute that particular test on LambdaTest:
node playwrightwebview.js
Visit the LambdaTest Web Automation page to check the status of your test execution.
