🎠Playwright client for Ruby
Note: Currently, this Gem is just a PoC (Proof of Concept). If you want to develop browser-automation for Chrome with Ruby, consider using puppeteer-ruby. The list of the available APIs of playwright-ruby-client is here
Getting Started
At this point, playwright-ruby-client doesn't include the downloader of playwright driver, so we have to install playwright in advance.
npm install playwright
./node_modules/.bin/playwright install
and then, set playwright_cli_executable_path: ./node_modules/.bin/playwright
at Playwright.create
.
Prefer playwrighting without Node.js?
Instead of npm install, you can also directly download playwright driver from playwright.azureedge.net/builds/. The URL can be easily detected from here
Capture a site
require 'playwright'
Playwright.create(playwright_cli_executable_path: '/path/to/playwright') do |playwright|
playwright.chromium.launch(headless: false) do |browser|
page = browser.new_page
page.goto('https://github.com/YusukeIwaki')
page.screenshot(path: './YusukeIwaki.png')
end
end
Simple scraping
require 'playwright'
Playwright.create(playwright_cli_executable_path: './node_modules/.bin/playwright') do |playwright|
playwright.chromium.launch(headless: false) do |browser|
page = browser.new_page
page.goto('https://github.com/')
form = page.query_selector("form.js-site-search-form")
search_input = form.query_selector("input.header-search-input")
search_input.click
page.keyboard.type("playwright")
page. {
page.keyboard.press("Enter")
}
list = page.query_selector("ul.repo-list")
items = list.query_selector_all("div.f4")
items.each do |item|
title = item.eval_on_selector("a", "a => a.innerText")
puts("==> #{title}")
end
end
end

Android browser automation
require 'playwright'
Playwright.create(playwright_cli_executable_path: './node_modules/.bin/playwright') do |playwright|
devices = playwright.android.devices
unless devices.empty?
device = devices.last
begin
puts "Model: #{device.model}"
puts "Serial: #{device.serial}"
puts device.shell('ls /system')
device.launch_browser do |context|
page = context.pages.first
page.goto('https://github.com/YusukeIwaki')
page.click('header button')
page.click('input[name="q"]')
page.keyboard.type('puppeteer')
page. {
page.keyboard.press('Enter')
}
page.screenshot(path: 'YusukeIwaki.android.png')
end
ensure
device.close
end
end
end
Android native automation
We have to download android-driver for Playwright in advance.
wget https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/raw/master/bin/android-driver-target.apk -O /path/to/playwright-driver/package/bin/android-driver-target.apk
wget https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/raw/master/bin/android-driver.apk -O /path/to/playwright-driver/package/bin/android-driver.apk
(If you downloaded Playwright via npm, replace /path/to/playwright-driver/package/
with ./node_modules/playwright/
above.)
require 'playwright'
Playwright.create(playwright_cli_executable_path: ENV['PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_EXECUTABLE_PATH']) do |playwright|
devices = playwright.android.devices
unless devices.empty?
device = devices.last
begin
device.shell('input keyevent POWER')
device.shell('input keyevent POWER')
device.shell('input keyevent 82')
sleep 1
device.shell('cmd statusbar expand-notifications')
# pp device.tree
# pp device.info(res: 'com.android.systemui:id/clock')
device.tap_on(res: 'com.android.systemui:id/clock')
ensure
device.close
end
end
