What problem does it solve?

Cache Playwright browser binaries in CI/CD pipelines to avoid 1-2 minute downloads per build, improving PR feedback times and reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version-aware caching: derives the Playwright version from Directory.Packages.props to form a cache key that busts automatically on upgrades.
  • OS-specific cache paths: caches browsers to the appropriate paths per OS (Linux, macOS, Windows).
  • Conditional install: only downloads binaries when a cache miss is detected, reducing CI time and flakiness.
  • CI platform support: designed for GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipelines in .NET projects.

Quick Start

Install or verify browsers in CI with:

  • ./build/playwright.ps1 install --with-deps
  • ./build/playwright.ps1 install chromium
  • ./build/playwright.ps1 install --dry-run
