UI Mode gives you:
- Visual timeline of all actions
- Watch mode for re-running on file changes
- Network and console tabs
- Time-travel through test execution

**Use Inspector to step through tests:**

```bash

Inspector allows:
- Stepping through actions one at a time
- Picking locators directly from the browser
- Editing selectors live and seeing results
- Viewing actionability logs

**Take screenshots at failure point:**

```javascript
// Before failing action
await page.screenshot({ path: 'before-action.png', fullPage: true });

// Try action
try {
  await page.click('.button');
} catch (error) {
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'after-error.png', fullPage: true });
  throw error;
}

With `PWDEBUG=console`, you get DevTools access to:
```javascript
// In browser console
playwright.$('.selector')      // Query with Playwright engine
playwright.$$('selector')      // Get all matches
playwright.inspect('selector') // Highlight in Elements panel
playwright.locator('selector') // Create locator

// Record trace
await context.tracing.start({ screenshots: true, snapshots: true });
// ... your test code
await context.tracing.stop({ path: 'trace.zip' });

// View trace
npx playwright show-trace trace.zip

// Group actions in trace viewer
await test.step('Login', async () => {
  await page.fill('input[name="username"]', 'user');
  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
});

await test.step('Navigate to dashboard', async () => {
  await page.click('a[href="/dashboard"]');
});

// Descriptions appear in trace viewer and reports
const submitButton = page.locator('#submit').describe('Submit button');
await submitButton.click();

const element = page.locator('.button');

// Does it exist in DOM?
const count = await element.count();
console.log(`Found ${count} elements`);

// Is it visible?
const isVisible = await element.isVisible();
console.log(`Visible: ${isVisible}`);

// Is it enabled?
const isEnabled = await element.isEnabled();
console.log(`Enabled: ${isEnabled}`);

// Get all attributes
const attrs = await element.evaluate(el => ({
  classes: el.className,
  id: el.id,
  display: window.getComputedStyle(el).display,
  visibility: window.getComputedStyle(el).visibility,
  opacity: window.getComputedStyle(el).opacity
}));
console.log(attrs);

// Use page.evaluate to test selector
const found = await page.evaluate(() => {
  const el = document.querySelector('.button');
  return el ? {
    text: el.textContent,
    visible: el.offsetParent !== null,
    enabled: !el.disabled
  } : null;
});
console.log('Selector test:', found);

// Are there multiple elements?
const all = await page.locator('.button').all();
console.log(`Found ${all.length} matching elements`);

// Get text of all matches
const texts = await page.locator('.button').allTextContents();
console.log('All matching texts:', texts);

// 1. Check if selector exists at all
const exists = await page.locator('.button').count() > 0;
console.log('Element exists:', exists);

// 2. Wait for element explicitly (modern approach)
await page.locator('.button').waitFor({ timeout: 10000 });
// Or let auto-waiting handle it:
await page.locator('.button').click();

// 3. Check if in iframe
const frame = page.frameLocator('iframe');
await frame.locator('.button').click();

// 4. Dump all matching elements
const all = await page.evaluate(() => {
  return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('button')).map(el => ({
    text: el.textContent,
    classes: el.className,
    id: el.id
  }));
});
console.log('All buttons on page:', all);

// 1. Check computed styles
const styles = await page.locator('.button').evaluate(el => ({
  display: window.getComputedStyle(el).display,
  visibility: window.getComputedStyle(el).visibility,
  opacity: window.getComputedStyle(el).opacity,
  zIndex: window.getComputedStyle(el).zIndex
}));
console.log('Element styles:', styles);

// 2. Scroll into view
await page.locator('.button').scrollIntoViewIfNeeded();

// 3. Wait for element to be stable (not animating)
await expect(page.locator('.button')).toBeVisible();
await page.waitForTimeout(100); // Brief wait for animation

// 4. Force click if needed (last resort)
await page.locator('.button').click({ force: true });

// 1. Wait for network to be idle
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');

// 2. Wait for specific network request
await page.waitForResponse(resp =>
  resp.url().includes('/api/data') && resp.status() === 200
);

// 3. Wait for JavaScript condition
await page.waitForFunction(() =>
  window.dataLoaded === true
);

// 4. Wait for element count to stabilize
await expect(page.locator('.item')).toHaveCount(10);

// DON'T store element handles across navigation
const button = page.locator('.button'); // BAD: might become stale
await page.goto('/other-page');
await button.click(); // ERROR: stale

// DO re-query after navigation
await page.goto('/other-page');
await page.locator('.button').click(); // GOOD: fresh query

// 1. Verify form state before submit
const formState = await page.evaluate(() => {
  const form = document.querySelector('form');
  return {
    action: form?.action,
    method: form?.method,
    valid: form?.checkValidity()
  };
});
console.log('Form state:', formState);

// 2. Trigger form events manually
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
await page.dispatchEvent('input[name="email"]', 'blur');

// 3. Use form.submit() instead of clicking button
await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelector('form').submit());

// Replace arbitrary waits
await page.waitForTimeout(2000); // BAD

// With condition-based waits
await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible(); // GOOD

// Increase default timeout for CI
test.setTimeout(60000);
page.setDefaultTimeout(30000);

// Wait for network idle
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');

// Wait for element to be actionable
await expect(page.locator('.button')).toBeVisible();
await expect(page.locator('.button')).toBeEnabled();

// Or wait for overlay to disappear
await expect(page.locator('.loading-overlay')).not.toBeVisible();
