Create New Project
Initialize a new Playwright test project with all dependencies
bash
# Create new project
npm init playwright@latest
# Install in existing project
npm install -D @playwright/test
# Install browsers
npx playwright install💡 The init command scaffolds config, example tests, and GitHub Actions workflow
⚡ Use --with-deps on CI to install system-level browser dependencies automatically
📌 Playwright bundles its own browsers — no need for separate Chrome/Firefox installs
🟢 Supports Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit out of the box
