What is playwright-rust?

A reference guide for browser automation in Rust using Playwright, a tool that controls web browsers through code. It covers browser setup, element locators, waiting behavior, options, and trace capture.

Use it when adding Playwright to a Rust project, locating page elements, configuring browser actions, relying on automatic waits, or capturing traces for debugging.

It gives Rust developers the details needed to write browser tests or automation that interact with pages reliably.

Security

Grade A, and why

playwright-rust scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
