## Playwright for Browser Rendering now available

Apr 04, 2025 

[ Browser Run ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/) 

We're excited to share that you can now use Playwright's browser automation [capabilities ↗](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-playwright) from Cloudflare [Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/).

[Playwright ↗](https://playwright.dev/) is an open-source package developed by Microsoft that can do browser automation tasks; it's commonly used to write software tests, debug applications, create screenshots, and crawl pages. Like [Puppeteer](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/puppeteer/), we [forked ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/playwright) Playwright and modified it to be compatible with Cloudflare Workers and [Browser Rendering](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/).

Below is an example of how to use Playwright with Browser Rendering to test a TODO application using assertions:

Assertion example

```
import { launch, type BrowserWorker } from "@cloudflare/playwright";import { expect } from "@cloudflare/playwright/test";
interface Env {  MYBROWSER: BrowserWorker;}
export default {  async fetch(request: Request, env: Env) {    const browser = await launch(env.MYBROWSER);    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto("https://demo.playwright.dev/todomvc");
    const TODO_ITEMS = [      "buy some cheese",      "feed the cat",      "book a doctors appointment",    ];
    const newTodo = page.getByPlaceholder("What needs to be done?");    for (const item of TODO_ITEMS) {      await newTodo.fill(item);      await newTodo.press("Enter");    }
    await expect(page.getByTestId("todo-title")).toHaveCount(TODO_ITEMS.length);
    await Promise.all(      TODO_ITEMS.map((value, index) =>        expect(page.getByTestId("todo-title").nth(index)).toHaveText(value),      ),    );  },};
```

Playwright is available as an npm package at [@cloudflare/playwright ↗](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cloudflare/playwright) and the code is at [GitHub ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/playwright).
