Automate VS Code performance investigations by launching Code OSS and driving chat or editor workflows with Playwright CDP. This captures screenshots, summary.json output, and heap samples to validate scenario completion and check for memory growth.

Heap snapshot collection targets the VS Code renderer after driving a specific workflow with Playwright CDP. It captures object-level evidence for before-and-after comparison, enabling deeper memory regression analysis when summary validation indicates growth.

Playwright CDP control supports driving both chat and non-chat workflows in Code OSS. It captures screenshots and summary.json output during the run, providing reproducible performance evidence for memory smoke tests.

The Code OSS smoke-test driver support is required to run reproducible VS Code performance scenarios. It works with Playwright CDP and workspace-safe runner configurations using persistent or temporary user-data profiles to ensure valid test cycles.

Run a bundled memory smoke runner with a safe scratch workspace to capture performance evidence for VS Code memory regressions. Inspect the generated summary and screenshots first, then decide whether targeted heap-snapshot collection is needed for deeper analysis.

VS Code performance runs require workspace-safe runner configuration with persistent or temporary user-data profiles to be reproducible. Using Playwright CDP control with Code OSS ensures consistent launch, drive, capture, and verify cycles across environments.
