# Tracing
Capture detailed execution traces for debugging and analysis. Traces include DOM snapshots, screenshots, network activity, and console logs.
## Basic Usage
```bash
# Start trace recording
playwright-cli tracing-start
# Perform actions
playwright-cli open https://example.com
playwright-cli click e1
playwright-cli fill e2 "test"
# Stop trace recording
playwright-cli tracing-stop
```
## Trace Output Files
When you start tracing, Playwright creates a `traces/` directory with several files:
### `trace-{timestamp}.trace`
**Action log** - The main trace file containing:
- Every action performed (clicks, fills, navigations)
- DOM snapshots before and after each action
- Screenshots at each step
- Timing information
- Console messages
- Source locations
### `trace-{timestamp}.network`
**Network log** - Complete network activity:
- All HTTP requests and responses
- Request headers and bodies
- Response headers and bodies
- Timing (DNS, connect, TLS, TTFB, download)
- Resource sizes
- Failed requests and errors
### `resources/`
**Resources directory** - Cached resources:
- Images, fonts, stylesheets, scripts
- Response bodies for replay
- Assets needed to reconstruct page state
## What Traces Capture
| Category | Details |
|----------|---------|
| **Actions** | Clicks, fills, hovers, keyboard input, navigations |
| **DOM** | Full DOM snapshot before/after each action |
| **Screenshots** | Visual state at each step |
| **Network** | All requests, responses, headers, bodies, timing |
| **Console** | All console.log, warn, error messages |
| **Timing** | Precise timing for each operation |
## Use Cases
### Debugging Failed Actions
```bash
playwright-cli tracing-start
playwright-cli open https://app.example.com
# This click fails - why?
playwright-cli click e5
playwright-cli tracing-stop
# Open trace to see DOM state when click was attempted
```
### Analyzing Performance
```bash
playwright-cli tracing-start
playwright-cli open https://slow-site.com
playwright-cli tracing-stop
# View network waterfall to identify slow resources
```
### Capturing Evidence
```bash
# Record a complete user flow for documentation
playwright-cli tracing-start
playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/checkout
playwright-cli fill e1 "4111111111111111"
playwright-cli fill e2 "12/25"
playwright-cli fill e3 "123"
playwright-cli click e4
playwright-cli tracing-stop
# Trace shows exact sequence of events
```
## Trace vs Video vs Screenshot
| Feature | Trace | Video | Screenshot |
|---------|-------|-------|------------|
| **Format** | .trace file | .webm video | .png/.jpeg image |
| **DOM inspection** | Yes | No | No |
| **Network details** | Yes | No | No |
| **Step-by-step replay** | Yes | Continuous | Single frame |
| **File size** | Medium | Large | Small |
| **Best for** | Debugging | Demos | Quick capture |
## Best Practices
### 1. Start Tracing Before the Problem
```bash
# Trace the entire flow, not just the failing step
playwright-cli tracing-start
playwright-cli open https://example.com
# ... all steps leading to the issue ...
playwright-cli tracing-stop
```
### 2. Clean Up Old Traces
Traces can consume significant disk space:
```bash
# Remove traces older than 7 days
find .playwright-cli/traces -mtime +7 -delete
```
## Limitations
- Traces add overhead to automation
- Large traces can consume significant disk space
- Some dynamic content may not replay perfectly
