There are a few ways for `connect()` to finish:
- `Browser.close()` from the client side.
- Browser on the server side did exit (e.g. crashed).
- Connection was dropped by either of the sides.
We reduce all the cases to the last one by dropping the
connection when client wants calls `Browser.close()` or
server-side browser exits.
In all these cases we should properly cleanup on the server side,
and ensure that all promises reject on the client side.
This changes the root object from RemoteBrowser to Playwright,
similar to local driver connection. This way, any remote connection
gets a Playwright object.
This also starts reusing PlaywrightServer class, and introduces
`cli run-server` hidden command that runs ws server on the
specified port.
Previous structure:
```
RemoteBrowser
- browser (using ConnectedBrowser for remote-specific behavior)
- selectors (special instance for this remote connection)
```
New structure:
```
Playwright
- ...
- selectors (special instance for this remote connection)
- preLaunchedBrowser (using ConnectedBrowser for remote-specific behavior)
```
This makes it much nicer to use `BrowserType` because it no longer has a template.
Technically a breaking change because of the rare edge case where someone used their own non-browser type inside the template, but I don't consider that intended behavior and think this is fine.
This patch:
- introduces non-exported but used in api/impl struct types (e.g. Point);
- makes all client classes implement respective public api interface.
Pros:
- Typescript is now responsible for type checking.
We can remove our doclint checker (not removed yet).
- Electron and Android types can be defined in the same way
(this is not implemented yet).
- We can move most of the type structs like Point to the public api
and make some of them available.
Cons:
- Any cons?
There is a race between "close" event coming from the server and
"close" command issued from the client.
This is similar to calling close after disconnect, so added tests.
We now use 'launch' under the hood, which erroneously throws
when 'port' is present.
Instead, moved validation to the client side where it belongs,
added tests for validation errors.
This is a large rework of selectors:
- Each BrowserContext now has a separate Selectors instance that has its own registrations.
Most of them share a single sharedSelectors instance, but contexts created for a connected
browser have their own instance.
- Connected browser now gets a RemoteBrowser object that encapsulates Selectors and Browser.
This Selectors object is registered with the api selectors.
- Public selectors.register api iterates over all registered Selectors channels
and registers in each of them.
- createSelector testing method migrated to ElementHandle._createSelectorForTest.
