- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Playwright module for Codeception
🚀 This is the first and the only module that allows Playwright testing in PHP. Playwright allows testing in Chrome, Firefox, Webkit (safari). It is faster and more reliable alternative to Selenium WebDriver. Finally it is available in PHP!
This module does not implement Playwright API in PHP, rather proxies requests to Playwright helper of CodeceptJS. This is possible because Codeception and CodeceptJS share the same architecture principles, and the interface for web testing is quite the same.
[!Note] This module can be used as a replacement for WebDriver module. Comparing to WebDriver module, Playwright module can speed up your tests x3 times, run in headless mode, record videos, and stack traces out of the box
Requirements
- PHP 8.1+
- NodeJS 20+
