Yeah - I moved my entire automation library over at the beginning of the year. The docker integrations and ease of switching out browsers without having to manage webdrivers individually sealed the deal. I'm also tentatively using their selectors a bit, although find I have to retreat to Xpath quite a bit. Playwright seems to be the obvious choice for testing - but automation who knows.
If you can be playwright for automation instead of testing - that'd be a biiiig market. Lot's and lot's of scrapers out there and it's a market microsoft is not interested in.
- jonasnelle 3y agoInteresting, can you say more about why you prefer Playwright’s selectors? Helpful to have some anecdotes from real experience!
- lobochrome 3y agoI don’t prefer I’m just playing. If they work, the readability of the code is just simpler vs xpath. But it’s less than 5% of selectors across the code base
