Interface Tracing

All Known Implementing Classes:

TracingImpl

public interface Tracing

API for collecting and saving Playwright traces. Playwright traces can be opened in Trace Viewer after Playwright script runs.

Start recording a trace before performing actions. At the end, stop tracing and save it to a file.

 Browser browser = chromium.launch();
 BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
 context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
   .setScreenshots(true)
   .setSnapshots(true));
 Page page = context.newPage();
 page.navigate("https://playwright.dev");
 context.tracing().stop(new Tracing.StopOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace.zip")));

Method Details

start

default void start()

Start tracing.

**Usage**

 context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
   .setScreenshots(true)
   .setSnapshots(true));
 Page page = context.newPage();
 page.navigate("https://playwright.dev");
 context.tracing().stop(new Tracing.StopOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace.zip")));
 

Since:

v1.12

start

void start(Tracing.StartOptions options)

Start tracing.

**Usage**

 context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
   .setScreenshots(true)
   .setSnapshots(true));
 Page page = context.newPage();
 page.navigate("https://playwright.dev");
 context.tracing().stop(new Tracing.StopOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace.zip")));
 

Since:

v1.12

startChunk

default void startChunk()

Start a new trace chunk. If you'd like to record multiple traces on the same BrowserContext, use Tracing.start() once, and then create multiple trace chunks with Tracing.startChunk() and Tracing.stopChunk().

**Usage**

 context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
   .setScreenshots(true)
   .setSnapshots(true));
 Page page = context.newPage();
 page.navigate("https://playwright.dev");

 context.tracing().startChunk();
 page.getByText("Get Started").click();
 // Everything between startChunk and stopChunk will be recorded in the trace.
 context.tracing().stopChunk(new Tracing.StopChunkOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace1.zip")));

 context.tracing().startChunk();
 page.navigate("http://example.com");
 // Save a second trace file with different actions.
 context.tracing().stopChunk(new Tracing.StopChunkOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace2.zip")));
 

Since:

v1.15

startChunk

void startChunk(Tracing.StartChunkOptions options)

Start a new trace chunk. If you'd like to record multiple traces on the same BrowserContext, use Tracing.start() once, and then create multiple trace chunks with Tracing.startChunk() and Tracing.stopChunk().

**Usage**

 context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
   .setScreenshots(true)
   .setSnapshots(true));
 Page page = context.newPage();
 page.navigate("https://playwright.dev");

 context.tracing().startChunk();
 page.getByText("Get Started").click();
 // Everything between startChunk and stopChunk will be recorded in the trace.
 context.tracing().stopChunk(new Tracing.StopChunkOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace1.zip")));

 context.tracing().startChunk();
 page.navigate("http://example.com");
 // Save a second trace file with different actions.
 context.tracing().stopChunk(new Tracing.StopChunkOptions()
   .setPath(Paths.get("trace2.zip")));
 

Since:
