See original GitHub issue

Context:

Playwright Version: 1.27.0
Operating System: Mac
Node.js version: 16.6
Browser: remote browser with LambdaTest
Extra: n/a

Code Snippet

const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const { expect } = require('@playwright/test');

(async () => {
  const capabilities = {
    'browserName': 'Chrome', // Browsers allowed: `Chrome`, `MicrosoftEdge`, `pw-chromium`, `pw-firefox` and `pw-webkit`
    'browserVersion': 'latest',
    'LT:Options': {
      'platform': 'Windows 10',
      'build': 'Playwright Sample Build',
      'name': 'Playwright Sample Test',
      'user': process.env.LT_USERNAME,
      'accessKey': process.env.LT_ACCESS_KEY,
      'network': true,
      'video': true,
      'console': true,
      'tunnel': false, // Add tunnel configuration if testing locally hosted webpage
      'tunnelName': '', // Optional
      'geoLocation': '', // country code can be fetched from https://www.lambdatest.com/capabilities-generator/
    }
  }

  const browser = await chromium.connect(`wss://cdp.lambdatest.com/playwright?capabilities=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify(capabilities))}`);

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  await page.goto('https://www.bing.com');

  const element = await page.$('[aria-label="Enter your search term"]');
  await element.click();
  await element.type('LambdaTest');
  await element.press('Enter');
  const title = await page.title();

  try {
    expect(title).toEqual('LambdaTest - Search');
    // Mark the test as completed or failed
    await page.evaluate(_ => {}, `lambdatest_action: ${JSON.stringify({ action: 'setTestStatus', arguments: { status: 'passed', remark: 'Title matched' } })}`);
  } catch {
    await page.evaluate(_ => {}, `lambdatest_action: ${JSON.stringify({ action: 'setTestStatus', arguments: { status: 'failed', remark: 'Title not matched' } })}`);
  }
  await browser.close();
})()

Describe the bug

I use the Playwright method browserType.connect(wsEndpoint[, options]) with wsEndpoing provided by LambdaTest. When running a test, Playwright throws the error: browserType.connect: Playwright version 1.27.0 not supported. Supported versions are 1.19.0 to 1.24.2. Official documentation and VS Code extension don’t say anything that that function doesn’t support or what is the new method to connect to a remote browser
