browserType.executablePath()Returns the path where the extension expects to find the browser executable.
browserType.launch([options])Launches a new browser process.
browserType.launchPersistentContext(userDataDir, [options])
Launches the browser with persistent storage.
browserType.name()Returns the name of the BrowserType; currently it will return chromium.

Example

import { chromium } from 'k6/experimental/browser';


export default async function () {
  const browser = chromium.launch();
  const context = browser.newContext();
  const page = context.newPage();


  try {
    await page.goto('https://test.k6.io/');
    page.screenshot({ path: `example-chromium.png` });
  } finally {
    page.close();
    browser.close();
  }
}
