FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- 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.
Informations about the package playwright
Playwright PHP
Automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit from PHP for browser testing, scraping, screenshots, and other browser-driven workflows.
- Familiar browser, context, page, and locator model
- Auto-waiting interactions
- PHPUnit integration with fluent
expect()assertions - No separate server to manage: the package starts its bundled Node server
Requirements:
- PHP 8.2+
- Node.js 20+ (used by the bundled Playwright server and browsers)
Installation
Add the library to your project:
Install the Playwright browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit):
For targeted installation, browser cache location, and Chrome or Edge channels, see Browsers, Browser Types, and Channels.

Usage
Browser
- Choose a browser:
Playwright::chromium(),Playwright::firefox(), orPlaywright::webkit(). Playwright::safari()is an alias ofwebkit().- Common launch options:
headless(bool),slowMo(ms),args(array of CLI args), and an optionalcontextarray with context options.
Page
Create pages, navigate, evaluate scripts, and take screenshots:
Locators and interactions
Storage state and context reuse
PHPUnit integration
The package provides a testing trait and fluent expect() assertions to write robust E2E tests.
Requirements: PHPUnit 10.0 or higher is required to use the PlaywrightTestCaseTrait.
Minimal example:
Notes:
- The trait provides
$this->playwright,$this->browser,$this->context, and$this->pageproperties. - Call
setUpPlaywright()insetUp()andtearDownPlaywright()intearDown()for proper lifecycle management. - Use
$this->expect($locator)or$this->expect($page)for fluent assertions with auto-waiting. - If you prefer full control, you can skip the trait and use the static
Playwrightfacade directly.

Tips:
- Cache Node and Composer if you need faster builds.
- You can also cache Playwright browsers under
~/.cache/ms-playwright.
