This is a proof-of-concept to make
xk6-browser
use an external Chrome process to run tests.Whenever the DevTools URL is provided via the
CHROME_DEVTOOLS_URL=
env var,chromium.launch()
skips launching the browser process altogether and uses provided URL instead.browser.close()
is a noop in this case, since we don't own the process and it can be reused by other test runs. It is possible though to terminate the browser process via CDP.This code by no means should be considered production-ready and provided only to prove the idea.
