I've been trying to contribute to playwright for years! All of my issues have been closed / rejected without much consideration because they're not part of the core "QA testing" use-case that playwright is built for.

Personally have not found their team to be the easiest to work with on Github. I would've loved to use puppeteer instead, their team is quite reasonable but they abandoned their python bindings and we want to stay in python.

re: ms -- thank you for calling that out. i've been thinking we had been collectively sleepwalking into ms owning everything (again). they've owned everything once before -- it wasn't great!

related side-note: have you had to interact with the core chrome / cdp devs?

  • Chromium bug tracker is where issues go to die, but aside from that I've had nothing but lovely individual interactions with core chrome devs so far. The devtools frontend/protocol repo is definitely active and more approachable than Chromium itself.

    I have not spoken to people that work directly on CDP yet, but I believe we have a call with them soon!

  • re side-note: if you know anyone who would be willing to interact connect me :)

    • i was going to ask the same to you. :-)

      i'm just stubborn enough to find out, though. and i still have a few contacts at the googleplex...
