SeleniumBase VS playwright-python

And for Python browser automation, see the SeleniumBase GitHub page!

I recommend you to check out Seleniumbase, its a frame work for Selenium. Link: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase

plain pytest, or maybe https://seleniumbase.io ?

In those cases you might want to check out SeleniumBase: https://seleniumbase.io/

If you're looking for a complete Python Selenium solution for solving the Wordle Game programmatically, here's one that uses the SeleniumBase framework. The solution comes with a YouTube video, as well as the Python code of the solution, and a GIF of what to expect:

i haven't. it's the first time i heard about it actually. on our project, it's selenium with seleniumbase

This format is used by most of the examples in the SeleniumBase examples folder. It's a great starting point for anyone learning SeleniumBase, and it follows good object-oriented programming principles. In this format, BaseCase is imported at the top of a Python file, followed by a Python class inheriting BaseCase. Then, any test method defined in that class automatically gains access to SeleniumBase methods, including the setUp() and tearDown() methods that are automatically called to spin up and spin down web browsers at the beginning and end of test methods. Here's an example of that:

Playwright

An alternative is to use a package like playwright (or Selenium) to run a browser remotely and login.

Using the tools at hand is often the best approach. That said, I've spent most of the last 13 years of my career automating browsers. For years, I used Selenium with a variety of libraries. After switching to Puppeteer/Playwright, I have zero interest in going back lol. Playwright actually has first party Python support. (Puppeteer has a port called Pyppeteer, but it's no longer maintained and the author recommends using Playwright)

This is pretty great for web automation https://playwright.dev/python/

Last I checked, pyppeteer wasn't a thing anymore, and I haven't tried Playwright but if it has a headless mode, thats what you want so you don't have a browser open.

Playwright

there are cases where a file contains at least 2 programming languages . A case like this is when using the playwright-python library i.e. the code is mainly in python, but it can contain also JS code within a page.evaluate() function. When I try to comment out some lines within the page.evaluate() function, VS Code uses the "#" symbol, instead of "//". I can use multiple cursors to insert the "//"., but it's not so convenient, So I was wondering if there is a way to tell VS Code that this part of code is JS and it should use "//" for commenting out or if there is a plugin that can do this job (I didnt find one...)

Playwright is pretty cool: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python
