Specify Playwright version
BrowserStack detects the browser and browser_version from the capability set in your test script and selects the appropriate Playwright version. If the browser_version is not specified, the Playwright version used will be the same as the Playwright client version. If you have a use case where you need to set the Playwright version explicitly, only then consider using the browserstack.playwrightversion capability in your test script.
- If the
browser_versioncapability is set, the Playwright version that supports this browser is selected. - If the value set in the
browser_versioncapability is supported by multiple Playwright versions, BrowserStack checks your Playwright client version and sets the Playwright version accordingly. - If the
browser_versionis not set and the Playwright client version is detected, the Playwright version used will be the same as the client version. - If both the
browser_versionand the Playwright client version are not detected, either the version number passed in thebrowserstack.playwrightversioncapability is used, if set, or the latest Playwright version is used.
If you must set the Playwright version explicitly, set the browserstack.playwrightVersion key to the required version in your test script.
| Capability | Description | Possible values |
|---|---|---|
browserstack.playwrightVersion |
Set the required Playwright version. |
1.latest to run tests on the latest version.To use older versions, use 1.latest-1, 1.latest-2, and so on.You can also explicitly set the version to 1.41. |
