Description from store
Records a user session and generates Playwright code for automation and testing purposes.
Playwright Recorder
Playwright Recorder is a developer tool that records user interaction within a web application and generates Playwright scripts to allow the developer to replicate that particular session. This will speed up your development cycle by facilitating the creation of unit and integration tests.
Getting Started
Click 'Add to Chrome'. That's it! Once you see our icon at the upper-right of your browser window, you are ready to start generating Playwright scripts.
Features
This extension will allow you to:
* Record clicks, typing, submits, and navigation in the browser.
* See the scripts render live as they are generated.
* Delete accidental actions.
* Reorder actions as necessary.
* Pause and resume recording within a single session.
* Record navigation within a domain.
* Copy the generated code to your clipboard.
Usage
* Open the extension and click 'Start Recording' to begin recording actions.
* Click links, submit forms, etc.
* Check your saved actions by opening the popup at any time.
* Click 'Stop Recording' to stop recording. From there, you will have the option to resume recording, reset, or copy your generated code to your clipboard.
* You can also use keyboard shortcuts:
On Macs:
- ctrl + R to start and stop recording
- ctrl + G to reset
On PCs and Linux:
- alt + R to start and stop recording
- alt + G to reset

- (2025-07-21) Kyle Kestell: Lies. Does not support Playwright.
- (2024-04-03) Tom: It says it does Playwright but it's unavailable in the dropdown menu. Only JSON and Puppeteer are available.
- (2024-02-05) Micah Cowsik-Herstand: This is an extension for exporting Playwright code from the built-in Chrome Recorder feature. It does this job. I would give 3 stars because it uses an old version of Playwright code in the export (e.g. it uses type() function, which was deprecated as of v1.38). But I'm giving 2 stars because, like Jeremy, I find the description above to be egregiously wrong. Playwright Recorder is NOT "a developer tool that records user interaction". It does NOT "Record a user session". In fact, none of the items in the "This extension will allow you to:" list are part of this extension. The only thing this extension does is translate the built-in export code of the Chrome browser's own recorder feature into Playwright-ese. HOW TO USE 1. Install this extension. 2. Open Chrome Dev Tools and go to the Recorder tab 3. Record your Chrome session using the built-in recorder tool. 4. Use the built-in export button and choose "Playwright Test" from the dropdown
- (2023-12-04) Jeremy Walker: It seems like it doesn't work, but really it's just (incredibly) poorly documented: the "Getting Started" section (above) leaves out crucial steps for getting started. *** YOU DO NOT USE THIS LIKE A NORMAL CHROME EXTENSION!!!! *** Why can't the Playwright people just say as much? It'd be so simple to add one sentence to the "Getting Started" section above: To use this extension you must open your developer tools and click the "Recorder" tab. That's it! One star for not explaining how to use your extension, in its own documentation.
