externaloptionaldefaultNavigationWaitUntil

defaultNavigationWaitUntil?: load | domcontentloaded | networkidle | commit

When to consider navigation operation succeeded, defaults to load. Events can be either:

  • 'domcontentloaded' - consider operation to be finished when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
  • 'load' - consider operation to be finished when the load event is fired.
  • 'networkidle' - consider operation to be finished when there are no network connections for at least 500 ms.
  • 'commit' - consider operation to be finished when network response is received and the document started loading.

externaloptionalacceptDownloads

acceptDownloads?: boolean

Whether to automatically download all the attachments. Defaults to true where all the downloads are accepted.

externaloptionalbaseURL

baseURL?: string

When using page.goto(url[, options]), page.route(url, handler[, options]), page.waitForURL(url[, options]), page.waitForRequest(urlOrPredicate[, options]), or page.waitForResponse(urlOrPredicate[, options]) it takes the base URL in consideration by using the URL() constructor for building the corresponding URL. Unset by default. Examples:

  • baseURL: http://localhost:3000 and navigating to /bar.html results in http://localhost:3000/bar.html
  • baseURL: http://localhost:3000/foo/ and navigating to ./bar.html results in http://localhost:3000/foo/bar.html
  • baseURL: http://localhost:3000/foo (without trailing slash) and navigating to ./bar.html results in http://localhost:3000/bar.html

externaloptionalbypassCSP

bypassCSP?: boolean

Toggles bypassing page's Content-Security-Policy. Defaults to false.

externaloptionalclientCertificates

clientCertificates?: { origin: string; certPath?: string; cert?: Buffer; keyPath?: string; key?: Buffer; pfxPath?: string; pfx?: Buffer; passphrase?: string }[]

TLS Client Authentication allows the server to request a client certificate and verify it.

Details

An array of client certificates to be used. Each certificate object must have either both certPath and keyPath, a single pfxPath, or their corresponding direct value equivalents (cert and key, or pfx). Optionally, passphrase property should be provided if the certificate is encrypted. The origin property should be provided with an exact match to the request origin that the certificate is valid for.

NOTE When using WebKit on macOS, accessing localhost will not pick up client certificates. You can make it work by replacing localhost with local.playwright.

externaloptionalcolorScheme
