Skill instructions
Playwright Trace CLI Inspect .zip trace files produced by Playwright tests without opening a browser. Workflow 1. Start with trace open <trace.zip to extract the trace and see its metadata. 2. Use trace actions to see all actions with their action IDs. 3. Use trace action <action-id to drill into a specific action — see parameters, logs, source location, and available snapshots. 4. Use trace requests, trace console, or trace errors for cross-cutting views. 5. Use trace snapshot <action-id to get the DOM snapshot, or run a browser command against it. 6. Use trace close to remove the extracted trace data when done. All commands after open operate on the currently opened trace — no need to pass the trace file again. Opening a new trace replaces the previous one. Commands Open a trace bash Extract trace and show metadata: browser, viewport, duration, action/error counts npx playwright trace open <trace.zip Close a trace bash Remove extracted trace data npx playwright trace close Actions ba
