[Question] Copy To Clipboard in Playwright

[rthi-rajan]

I am automating an openfin application
I want to copy come content to clipboard.
I tried to use the WriteText method of Clipboard API (I saw it is supported in Chrome https://caniuse.com/?search=clipboard)
But it giving me an error

Below is my code
runtimeCDPConnection = await chromium.connectOverCDP({ endpointURL: '' })

    allContexts = runtimeCDPConnection.contexts()
    runtimeContext = allContexts[0];
  
    runtimeContext.grantPermissions(['clipboard-read', 'clipboard-write'])
    await runtimeContext.writeText("Abcd")
    var abc = await runtimeContext.readText()
    console.log(abc)

I am getting error
runtimeContext.writeText is not a function

page = await runtimeContext.pages()[0]
await page.writeText("Abcd")
var abc = await page.readText()
console.log(abc)

Again getting error
TypeError: page.writeText is not a function

Am I using it wrong? Could someone guide me to add content to clipboard

We have a feature request for adding copy/paste clipboard support across all the browsers: #8114. Please upvote it there.

Regarding your example, there is no method called writeText in Playwright yet.

Thanks Max. Is there any other solution to get text added to clipboard? Tried JSDOM they also don't support it

[mxschmitt]

This is not yet possible. Merging into #8114

Hi - I am also automating openfin app. Locally launched from drive (.exe app ) , I am able to connect with CDP port 12565. But while launching openfin app via CLI, CDP port is changed and 12565 isnt connecting. How to find on which CDP openfin app is launching, so that with playwright connectOverCDP , I could connect it. This will help in CI run too.
