How to Setup Playwright with Java

In this article, we will be setting up a playwright with java, and this article will demonstrate eclipse ide.

1.) Maven

Create a maven project by clicking on new -> project.

Click on the maven project and hit next.
Select the quickstart archetype and name the project, and hit finish.

2.) POM

  <dependency>
     <groupId>com.microsoft.playwright</groupId>
     <artifactId>playwright</artifactId>
     <version>1.29.0</version>
   </dependency>

In the POM.xml, add this dependency and save the XML file.

3.) Example

package week4.day2;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Browser;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Page;
import com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;
public class Play {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
            Browser browser = playwright.chromium().launch();
            Page page = browser.newPage();
            page.navigate("http://www.programsbuzz.com/user/login");
            System.out.println(page.title());
        }
    }
}

The browser instance is created first out of chromium.
Then new page in that instance is created called page.
With the page, we navigated to the site.
We can see that playwright has been successfully installed and working as expected.
