Error: Protocol error (Overlay.highlightNode): Could not find object with given id

Sorry for re-post this issue cause the last one was closed and I can not reopen, I have the context:

• Playwright

const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://amazon.com')
const context = (await page.context()) as ChromiumBrowserContext
const client = await context.newCDPSession(page)
const element = await page.$('h1,h2,h3,p');
const objectId = element['_objectId']
await client.send('Overlay.highlightNode', {
    highlightConfig: {
        showInfo: true,
        borderColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 1
        },
        contentColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 0.24
        },
        shapeColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 0.24
        },
    },
    objectId,
})

the objectId has value {"injectedScriptId":3,"id":1} but I got the error: Error: Protocol error (Overlay.highlightNode): Could not find object with given id.

I can do this action on Puppeteer as the following:

  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: false});
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://amazon.com')
  const element = await page.$('h1,h2,h3,p');
  const client = element['_client']
  const objectId = element['_remoteObject']['objectId']
  await client.send('Overlay.highlightNode', {
    highlightConfig: {
        showInfo: true,
        borderColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 1
        },
        contentColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 0.24
        },
        shapeColor: {
            r: 76,
            g: 175,
            b: 80,
            a: 0.24
        },
    },
    objectId,
})

So I’m not sure how to do this on playwright?

[pavelfeldman]

In Puppeteer, you were reaching out to a private property to get a hold of the session that Puppeteer itself used. You can do the same in Playwright, it is just harder to find and abuse it here.

But I would encourage you to think in the browser-neutral way since that’s what we want for Playwright in the end of the day and request a feature where you can trigger inspector (or any other) highlight. Something like handle.inspect() that would highlight and reveal in devtools if those are opened. Would that work for you?

I’ll close this as a dupe of https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/2747
