Better not to launch browsers
But check otherwise

[DavertMik]

no, launching them seems as too much
can we check them without launching?

Can we do it with this: https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-browsertype#browser-type-executable-path

[kobenguyent]

this one just returns something like this not the version /Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-1155/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

[mirao]

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/packages/playwright-core/browsers.json exists and contains current browser versions.
I have it installed in ./node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/playwright-core/browsers.json.
But not sure how easily/universally get that file on various platforms (OS and npm vs. pnpm)

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/packages/playwright-core/browsers.json exists and contains current browser versions

But it's for all browsers and there is no info that the browser was really installed. So it's probably useless.

Co-Pilot advised me this (and it works). Tested in TypeScript.

import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from "playwright";
import { execSync } from "child_process";

This returns Chromium 133.0.6943.16

const chromeVersion = execSync(
    `"${chromium.executablePath()}" --version`
)
    .toString()
    .trim();

The same way works for Firefox (e.g. Mozilla Firefox 134.0)

const firefoxVersion = execSync(
    `"${firefox.executablePath()}" --version`
)
    .toString()
    .trim();

Unfortunately if you use the same way for WebKit, you get only WebKitGTK 2.47.2 (unknown) and not the more common "Safari" version (e.g. 18.2)

const webkitVersion = execSync(`"${webkit.executablePath()}" --version`)
    .toString()
    .trim();

[kobenguyent]

well, I'm not sure if there are easy ways to handle this unless we launch the browsers and get the version.

what do you think we just return the webkit path to acknowledge this webkit browser is available from playwright?

As for me displaying of Chromium/Firefox version would be great as they change quite often with every Playwright release and as for WebKit any string/build is enough as Safari version doesn't change too often.

[kobenguyent]

let's see how the playwright team proposes then -> microsoft/playwright#35123

[kobenguyent]

 Environment information: 

codeceptVersion:  "3.7.2"
nodeInfo:  18.19.0
osInfo:  macOS 14.4
cpuInfo:  (8) x64 Apple M1 Pro
osBrowsers:  "chrome: 134.0.6998.45, edge: 134.0.3124.51, firefox: not installed, safari: 17.4"
playwrightBrowsers:  "chromium: 134.0.6998.35, firefox: 135.0, webkit: 18.4"
helpers:  {
 "Playwright": {
  "browser": "chromium",

worked like a charm for now @DavertMik @mirao
