# Browser Automation with playwright-cli ## Persistence (required) **Always pass `--persistent` when calling `open`.** This saves localStorage, cookies, and session data to playwright-cli's default profile directory on disk, and restores it automatically on next open — no manual steps needed. ```bash playwright-cli open "https://example.com" --persistent ``` First time on a new site: open, log in once, close. Every subsequent conversation opens already authenticated. Never use `state-save` / `state-load` for auth — `--persistent` handles it automatically and survives across all agents and conversations. ## Quick start ```bash # open new browser playwright-cli open # navigate to a page playwright-cli goto https://playwright.dev # interact with the page using refs from the snapshot playwright-cli click e15 playwright-cli type "page.click" playwright-cli press Enter # take a screenshot (rarely used, as snapshot is more common) playwright-cli screenshot # close the browser playwright-cli close ``` ## Commands ### Core ```bash playwright-cli open # open and navigate right away playwright-cli open https://example.com/ playwright-cli goto https://playwright.dev playwright-cli type "search query" playwright-cli click e3 playwright-cli dblclick e7 # --submit presses Enter after filling the element playwright-cli fill e5 "user@example.com" --submit playwright-cli drag e2 e8 playwright-cli hover e4 playwright-cli select e9 "option-value" playwright-cli upload ./document.pdf p
