[Question] Set page route abort before all tests start running.

Hi, I want to mock all my HTTP requests and abort them before tests start running. I’ve tried to set that in the global-setup file but looks like the page return in the tests does not contain the routes. I have the solution of beforeAll on every test page, but I want something more general, is it possible?

// global-setup.ts
import { chromium, FullConfig, Route } from "@playwright/test";

async function globalSetup(config: FullConfig) {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.route("**/v1/*/", (route: Route) => {
    route.abort();
  });
}

Thanks!

If you want to have it for all the pages, you can override the page fixture, apply there your overrides and use this “new instance” everywhere. For example:

// foo.fixtures.ts
import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';

export const test = base.extend({
  page: async ({ baseURL, page }, use) => {
    await page.route(....)
    await use(page);
  },
});

import { test } from './test.fixtures';

test(....)
