feat(playwright-test): support connectOverCDP option in connectOptions

[tjenkinson]

Open to suggestions for a better way to do this. We just need to be able to use the CDP protocol to connect to chrome using the test library.

Don't suppose there's a way of achieving this on the current version? I couldn't find any

#8379 was originally filed for this usecase. This is something we need to be compatible with browserless

Do you know what the difference is between the protocol for connectOverCDP() vs connect(). What's the protocol that's used for wsEndpoint in connect()?

@tjenkinson Could you please file an issue or reference an existing one? We prefer to have conversations in the issue so that it's available to everyone searching.

That said, if you'd like to use connectOverCDP with @playwright/test today, the easiest way would be to override the browser fixture.

import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';

export const test = base.extend({
  browser: async ({ playwright }, use) => {
    const browser = await playwright.chromium.connectOverCDP('ws://myhost:port');
    await use(browser);
    await browser.close()l
  },
});

Ah perfect thanks I didn’t realise that was available to override. That solves it for me so fine if you want to close this
