Playwright target closed

by

The query “playwright target closed” refers to the Playwright library’s concept of closing a target.

Playwright is a tool for automating browser actions and interactions, and a target in Playwright represents a browser context or a page. When a target is closed, it means the corresponding browser context or page is terminated and no longer available for further interactions.

To close a target in Playwright, you can use the close method available on the target object. Here’s an example with Playwright using JavaScript: 


const { chromium } = require('playwright');

(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
  
  // Closing the target (page)
  await page.close();
  
  await browser.close();
})();

In this example, Playwright is used to launch a Chromium browser, create a new page, and navigate to the “https://example.com” URL. After performing any desired actions on the page, the page.close() method is called to close the target (page). Finally, the browser.close() method is called to terminate the browser instance.

Closing a target is useful when you want to clean up and release the resources associated with a browser context or page. It’s good practice to close targets when you’re finished with them to avoid resource leaks and ensure efficient memory usage.
