pw

commands

Use canonical ops via pw exec.

• pw exec navigate --input '{"url":"..."}'
• pw exec page.text --input '{"selector":"..."}'
• pw exec page.html --input '{"selector":"..."}'
• pw exec click --input '{"selector":"..."}'
• pw exec fill --input '{"selector":"...","text":"..."}'
• pw exec screenshot --input '{"output":"page.png"}'
• pw exec page.eval --input '{"expression":"..."}'
• pw exec page.read --input '{}'

For NDJSON loops, use pw batch.

setup

start daemon for fast warm execution:

scripts/start-daemon.sh

browser session management is via canonical connect op:

• launch: pw exec connect --input '{"launch":true}'
• discover: pw exec connect --input '{"discover":true}'
• clear: pw exec connect --input '{"clear":true}'

auth in ./playwright/auth/*.json is auto-injected when configured.

context

runtime/profile state is profile-scoped under .pw-cli-v4. use --profile <name> for isolation.

wrappers

scripts/pw.nu exposes stable helpers (pw nav, pw click, pw eval, etc.) but internally calls only pw exec.
