• text - Text to type

Options:

• --press <key> - Press a key after typing (e.g., Enter, Tab)

Examples:

bun .opencode/skill/playwright-browser/type.js "combobox:Search" "hello" --press Enter
bun .opencode/skill/playwright-browser/type.js "input[name='q']" "search query"

Element References

Commands that interact with elements (type, click) accept flexible element references:

Recommended workflow:

1. Use snapshot to see the accessibility tree
2. Find the element's role and name
3. Use role:name format for reliable interaction

Error Recovery

Commands provide helpful error messages with suggestions:

• Element not found: "Element 'X' not found. Try: snapshot to see available elements"
• Session issues: Commands automatically start a session if none exists
• Navigation failures: "Navigation failed at URL. Try: navigate URL"

Notes

• Browser data is stored in .playwright-data/ in the project root
• The persistent context maintains cookies and localStorage between sessions
• Commands use networkidle wait for reliable page loading
