Interface BrowserContext
-
- All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable
public interface BrowserContext extends AutoCloseable
BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions.If a page opens another page, e.g. with a
window.open
call, the popup will belong to the parent page's browser context.Playwright allows creating "incognito" browser contexts with
Browser.newContext()
method. "Incognito" browser contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.// Create a new incognito browser context BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(); // Create a new page inside context. Page page = context.newPage(); page.navigate("https://example.com"); // Dispose context once it is no longer needed. context.close();

Method Detail
-
onClose
void onClose(Consumer<BrowserContext> handler)
Emitted when Browser context gets closed. This might happen because of one of the following:- Browser context is closed.
- Browser application is closed or crashed.
- The
Browser.close()
method was called.
-
offClose
void offClose(Consumer<BrowserContext> handler)
Removes handler that was previously added withonClose(handler)
.
-
onPage
void onPage(Consumer<Page> handler)
The event is emitted when a new Page is created in the BrowserContext. The page may still be loading. The event will also fire for popup pages. See alsoPage.onPopup()
to receive events about popups relevant to a specific page.The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a popup with
window.open('http://example.com')
, this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is done and its response has started loading in the popup.Page newPage = context.waitForPage(() -> { page.getByText("open new page").click(); }); System.out.println(newPage.evaluate("location.href"));
NOTE: Use
Page.waitForLoadState()
to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most cases).
-
offPage
void offPage(Consumer<Page> handler)
Removes handler that was previously added withonPage(handler)
.
-
onRequest
void onRequest(Consumer<Request> handler)
Emitted when a request is issued from any pages created through this context. The [request] object is read-only. To only listen for requests from a particular page, usePage.onRequest()

BrowserContext.route()
orPage.route()
.
-
offRequest
void offRequest(Consumer<Request> handler)
Removes handler that was previously added withonRequest(handler)
.
-
onRequestFailed
void onRequestFailed(Consumer<Request> handler)
Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out. To only listen for failed requests from a particular page, usePage.onRequestFailed()
.NOTE: HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete with
BrowserContext.onRequestFinished()
event and not withBrowserContext.onRequestFailed()
.
-
offRequestFailed
void offRequestFailed(Consumer<Request> handler)
Removes handler that was previously added withonRequestFailed(handler)
.
-

,response
andrequestfinished

,response
andrequestfinished
. To listen for response events from a particular page, usePage.onResponse()

route
default void route(String url, Consumer<Route> handler)
Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by any page in the browser context. Once route is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it's continued, fulfilled or aborted.NOTE:
BrowserContext.route()
will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by settingBrowser.newContext.serviceWorkers
to"block"
.**Usage**
An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(); context.route("**\/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", route -> route.abort()); Page page = context.newPage(); page.navigate("https://example.com"); browser.close();
or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(); context.route(Pattern.compile("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), route -> route.abort()); Page page = context.newPage(); page.navigate("https://example.com"); browser.close();
It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:
context.route("/api/**", route -> { if (route.request().postData().contains("my-string")) route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setBody("mocked-data")); else route.resume(); });
Page routes (set up with
Page.route()
) take precedence over browser context routes when request matches both handlers.To remove a route with its handler you can use
BrowserContext.unroute()
.NOTE: Enabling routing disables http cache.
- Parameters:
url
- A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving [URL] to match while routing. When abaseURL
via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via thenew URL()

- A glob pattern, regex pattern or predicate receiving [URL] to match while routing. When abaseURL
via the context options was provided and the passed URL is a path, it gets merged via thenew URL()
constructor.handler
- handler function to route the request.- Since:
- v1.8
-
route
void route(Predicate<String> url, Consumer<Route> handler, BrowserContext.RouteOptions options)
Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by any page in the browser context. Once route is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it's continued, fulfilled or aborted.NOTE:
BrowserContext.route()
will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See this issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by settingBrowser.newContext.serviceWorkers
to"block"
.**Usage**
An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(); context.route("**\/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", route -> route.abort()); Page page = context.newPage(); page.navigate("https://example.com"); browser.close();
or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext(); context.route(Pattern.compile("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), route -> route.abort()); Page page = context.newPage(); page.navigate("https://example.com"); browser.close();
It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:
context.route("/api/**", route -> { if (route.request().postData().contains("my-string")) route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setBody("mocked-data")); else route.resume(); });
Page routes (set up with
Page.route()
) take precedence over browser context routes when request matches both handlers.To remove a route with its handler you can use
BrowserContext.unroute()
.NOTE: Enabling routing disables http cache.

BrowserContext.setExtraHTTPHeaders()
