Setup snapshot

git clone https://github.com/nathanl/playwright-trace-debugging.git

1
Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
2
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

name: playwright-trace-debugging description: Debug Playwright test failures by analyzing trace files using pwtrace CLI. Use this skill after Playwright tests fail and you have a trace.zip file. Teaches systematic debugging workflow from overview to detailed inspection (show → step → dom → console → screenshot → network).

Playwright Trace Debugging

Debug failed Playwright tests systematically using trace file analysis with pwtrace.

When to Use This Skill

After Playwright test failures when you have a trace.zip file
Debugging flaky or intermittent test failures
Understanding CI/CD test failures
When the Playwright Trace Viewer GUI isn't available
Getting LLM-friendly text output from trace files

Prerequisites

npm install -g pwtrace
# or use: npx pwtrace <command> trace.zip

Core Philosophy: Progressive Disclosure

Start broad and drill down only as needed. The workflow follows this pattern:

show → step → dom/console/screenshot/network
 ↓       ↓           ↓
Which  What     Why did it fail?
failed? happened?

Always start with pwtrace show trace.zip to identify which step(s) failed, then use targeted commands to investigate.

For command syntax and options, use:

pwtrace --help                    # Overview and workflow
pwtrace <command> --help          # Command-specific options

Debugging Decision Tree

Use this to quickly decide which command to run next:

❌ Test failed → pwtrace show → identify failed step(s)

🔍 Step N failed → pwtrace step N → understand what happened

📄 Selector issues → pwtrace dom --step N --interactive → see available elements

Element not found? Use --selector button to find similar elements
Wrong element? Check attributes and state (disabled, hidden)

🐛 JavaScript errors → pwtrace console --level error → find exceptions

Errors around specific step? Add --step N

🌐 Network issues → pwtrace network --failed → find failed requests

Check for 4xx/5xx errors, timeouts, CORS issues

👁️ Visual confirmation → pwtrace screenshot --step N --list → choose screenshot

Then extract with --index <N>

⏱️ Timing/flaky tests → Compare DOM across steps

pwtrace dom --step N vs --step N-1
Look for loading states, animations, async operations

Complete Example

pwtrace show trace.zip          # Step 4 failed (click "Sign In")
pwtrace step trace.zip 4         # See console error
pwtrace dom --step 4 --interactive  # Button exists but is disabled
pwtrace console --step 4 --level error  # JS validation error
pwtrace network --failed         # API /validate-email returned 500
# Root cause: Backend validation API failing

Tips

Always start with show - Don't skip straight to debugging a specific step
Check DOM before screenshots - DOM is searchable and text-based
Use --interactive frequently - Quickly filters to actionable elements
Most commands support --format json - Pipe to jq or analyze programmatically
Compare before/after states - Use dom on both successful and failed steps
