Might happen, itโs open source, check the issues and see if something exists. Up vote or create one ๐. Even better create a PR if thatโs your thing
You can use it with an existing install, and avoid the binaries from getting downloaded. Check out the playwright-core NPM package, which does not install the binaries. We want to ensure your tests run fast and if your setup does not need the browser to be downloaded, you shouldn't have to wait.

Does playwrite download its own version of the browser like Puppeteer, or can it use an existing install?
It downloads the binaries from official channels, not sure you can use an existing or not, will look it up
Thanks. That's my biggest issue with E2E testing FWs.
I'd like to be able to
npx playwright
and have the tests run instantly. Rather than wait 5 min for a download.Might happen, itโs open source, check the issues and see if something exists. Up vote or create one ๐. Even better create a PR if thatโs your thing
