################################################################################ using namespace System.Management.Automation using namespace System.Collections.Concurrent using namespace Microsoft.Playwright ################################################################################ <# .SYNOPSIS Connects to an existing browser instance via debugging port. .DESCRIPTION Establishes a connection to a running Chromium-based browser instance using the WebSocket debugger URL. Creates a Playwright instance and connects over CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol). The connected browser instance is stored in a global dictionary for later reference. .PARAMETER WsEndpoint The WebSocket URL for connecting to the browser's debugging port. This URL typically follows the format 'ws://hostname:port/devtools/browser/<id>'. .EXAMPLE Connect-PlaywrightViaDebuggingPort ` -WsEndpoint "ws://localhost:9222/devtools/browser/abc123" #> function Connect-PlaywrightViaDebuggingPort { [CmdletBinding()] param( ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, HelpMessage = "WebSocket URL for browser debugging connection" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string]$WsEndpoint ######################################################################## ) begin { # log the connection attempt with the provided endpoint Write-Verbose "Attempting to connect to browser at: $WsEndpoint" } process { try { # initialize a new playwright instance asynchronously Write-Verbose "Creating Playwright instance" $playwright = [Microsoft.Playwright.Playwright]::CreateAsync().Result # establish CDP connection to the browser using the websocket endpoint Write-Verbose "Connecting to browser via CDP" $browser = $playwright.Chromium.ConnectOverCDPAsync($WsEndpoint).Result # store the browser instance in global dictionary for later access Write-Verbose "Storing browser instance in global dictionary" $Global:GenXdevPlaywrightBrowserDictionary[$WsEndpoint] = $browser # return the connected browser instance to the caller return $browser } catch { Write-Error "Failed to connect via debugging port: $_" throw } } end { } } ################################################################################ |
