Frequently asked questions

How do I interact with elements on a page?

Use the refs provided in the browser snapshot (e.g., e15) or use CSS selectors and Playwright locators directly in commands.

Can I persist browser sessions?

Yes, use the --persistent flag when opening a browser or save/load state using the state-save and state-load commands.

How do I capture output for use in other tools?

Use the --raw flag to strip metadata and return only the result value, which can be piped to other utilities like jq.

What browsers are supported?

The CLI supports chrome, firefox, webkit, and msedge.
