Web Scraping Google With Node JS
Nightmare JS is a web automation library designed for websites that don’t own APIs and want to automate browsing tasks. Nightmare JS is mostly used by developers for UI testing and crawling. It can also help mimic user actions(like goto, type, and click) with an API that feels synchronous for each block of scripting.

If you want to make your own custom solution, i recommend looking into puppeteer or nightmare. They are browser automation tools that can do this kind of work.

How can I do a web scrapping with nodejs?
Depends on the use-case. If you want to save complete websites for offline usage I've created [telescopy](https://www.npmjs.com/package/telescopy) for that. If you need to extract content from one html-page then try something like [nightmare.js](https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare)

Sometimes things simply don't work
The consensus I could gather is either use playwright or use a workaround to solve it in the puppeteer layer. The root cause of the bug is a websocket size limitation on the CDP protocol for chromium.

The best testing strategies for frontends
With the advent of tools like Puppeteer and now Playwright, end-to-end testing has become much easier and more reliable. For anyone who's used Selenium in the past, you know what I'm talking about. Puppeteer has opened the way in terms of E2E tooling, but Playwright has taken it to the next level and made it easier to await for certain selectors or conditions to be fulfilled (via locators), thus making tests more reliable and less flaky. Also, it's a game changer that it introduced a test-runner - this made the integration between the headless browser and the actual test code much smoother.

Adding standalone or "one off" scripts to your Playwright suite
This means you cannot place test files outside of this directory, which was brought up as a question on Github some time ago. Initially, I thought it would be nice to add another folder in the repo called "scripts", but Playwright does not allow multiple testDir values.
