Working with Multiple Browser Contexts

Info

Playwright allows creating isolated non-persistent browser contexts. Non-persistent browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk. These can be regarded as separate incognito browser sessions

Default Context Options

By default, the first context of the browser test, will always use the options, as listed in the the default settings.

To modify these settings or options, follow the steps below :

  • Click on the Browser Configuration icon browserConfig

  • Inside the Context Configurations tab, you will see the Context Alias as default. Change the values as per requirement.

    defaultConfig

Create New Context Options

To create a new context configuration, follow the steps below :

  • Click on the Browser Configuration icon browserConfig

  • Inside the Context Configurations tab, Enter the Context Alias and hit Enter . Alternatively you can also click on the add icon.

    createConfig

Use the Context Options in Tests

In Test Cases, when you use the action createAndSwitchToNewContext, in the condition column, all the available Context Aliases start to show up. Select the one that you want to use.

A complete test case with multiple browser context would possibly look like this :
