Configuration Options:
No options to configure
Options name:
www_py-playwright
USES:
linux:rl9 python
pkg-message:
For install:
You installed playwright: API to automate web browsers. playright expects Linuxlator to be initialized because it downloads and runs Linux binaries for web browsers and ffmpeg. playwright is known to work with linux_base-rl9. playright is supposed to work with 3 browsers: Chrome, Firefox, WebKit. Chrome is currently broken: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289285 WebKit is also broken due to missing dependencies. You are expected to run the command 'playwright install' to download browser binaries before you can use playwright.
