Playwright 1.58 changed the output format of npx playwright install --dry-run:

  • Old format: "browser: chromium version 143.0.7499.4"
  • New format: "Chrome for Testing 145.0.7632.6 (playwright chromium v1208)"

Updated the regex to handle both formats while excluding chromium-headless-shell.

Fixes#5422

I checked that the fix works well with Playwright < 1.58

mirao@rog:~/workspace/CodeceptJS/examples$ node ../bin/codecept.js info|grep playwrightbrowsers -i
playwrightBrowsers: "chromium: 140.0.7339.186, firefox: 141.0, webkit: 26.0"

and with Playwright 1.58

mirao@rog:~/workspace/CodeceptJS/examples$ node ../bin/codecept.js info|grep playwrightbrowsers -i
playwrightBrowsers: "chromium: 145.0.7632.6, firefox: 146.0.1, webkit: 26.0"

Thanks for the fix! The changes look good.
If you have time, it would be great to add unit tests for the regex to ensure both old and new Playwright formats are covered.

@DenysKuchma Good idea. It was a Claude Opus 4.5 job, so I guess it won't be issue to create tests for it.

test: add unit tests for parsePlaywrightBrowsers regex
23f77e7
Extract parsePlaywrightBrowsers function and add unit tests to verify
both old (Playwright < 1.58) and new (1.58+) output formats are parsed
correctly, and that chromium-headless-shell is excluded.

@DenysKuchma The tests were added.
They are only unit tests, not integration tests.
So they catch a bug if someone changes the logic in lib/command/info.js. But they don't catch a bug if Playwright releases a new version with a different format output - it would need an integration test that compares codeceptjs info with npx playwright install --dry-run.
