[Feature] Chromium does not show file chooser dialog

[anonymousaccn]

I would love to see Playwright to support custom executable path for browser. The main reason is in the latest ( at the time I write this message ) version, chromium doesn't support file chooser ( no dialog is opened ) however stable chrome works just fine.

You can pass custom executablePath as one of the launch options, doe it not work for some reason?

Thanks for pointing out, I will try that out.

Note that Playwright is not guaranteed to work correctly with custom browser executable. However, most of the times things should be ok.

@anonymousaccn : please don't point to the older Chromium, things won't work there. When you say file chooser is not opened you mean you don't see it in the headless: false mode? That's the new behaviour for Chromium and if you'd like it changed, please let us know. What is your scenario?

@pavelfeldman The problem I have with latest playwright if when I use Chromium I got an error called "Failed to fetch ... "
And for Firefox, I got an error regarding network ...
I will post full error when I get home.

And for webkit on windows, file upload dialog is not opened at all, it works on Mac.

Yes, I can see this possible.

@anonymousaccn: please let us know what you find - we have all the file chooser tests passing, so it'd be interesting to learn what went wrong. Let me rename the issue.

Looks like the discussion here stalled, so closing this.
