  • Beachpatrol: A CLI tool to replace and automate your everyday web browser (Now with Firefox support)

    Jump

  • Unlike a password manager that just logs you in, Beachpatrol can run any automation task, like checking your email, downloading files, or filling out forms. You have to create Playwright scripts for these tasks and run them from a shell command. There is an example script already in the commands folder, which you can run with the command beackmsg smoke-test. The sky is the limit, basically.

  • Cool project! I'll check it out.

    Regarding userscripting, from the F.A.Q.:

    Why use an external automation tool (Playwright) instead of a browser extension?

    While Beachpatrol allows to control the browser from both the OS and from a browser extension, our priority was the OS. Therefore, something like Playwright was the natural choice.

    Furthermore, while controlling the browser from an extensions is possible, Manifest v3 removed the ability to execute third-party strings of code. Popular automation extensions like Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey could also be affected by Manifest v3. The alternative is to embed the code into the extension, but that would requires re-bundling the extensions after every change. Other tricks do exist to make this approach work, and there is some hope for future Manifest v3 solutions, but this path is certainly tricky.

    It is more likely that Selenium and related tools will continue to work in the foreseeable future given the business demand for traditional browser testing.

  • Makes sense and you're probably right, but I'll tell you why I didn't do it that way:

    1. I just did what came first to me
    2. I like the idea of the API defining the project structure
    3. When adding a new package manager, if that ever happens, I would like to see all other implementation of the same functionality on the same file, for help and inspiration

  • Tbh these scripts are for my personal use, written in the way that makes sense for me. I only open sourced it as a joke an as an example of how reinventing your own wheel is not that hard sometimes, and comes with the benefit of doing just what you need it to do.

    Actually I was thinking of adding a sysget fallback, as I might need to do some debian/fedora hacking soon.

  • It should be pretty soon. I've got it working already, but I need to test it more and figure out how Firefox profiles work with Playwright.

    If you want you can just clone it and replace "chromium" with "firefox". It should just work, and it shouldn't take too long to figure out the rest.

  • Point taken, but Big Tech systematically does equally bad things while disguising them behind DevRel, so I think it's justified to poke fun at that.

  • The joke is that it's hard to tell if this is a joke because the lines between good intentions, corporate jargon, and feasibility have been blurred beyond recognition both here and in the real world.

    It's also funny that after all these years, i18n is still a mess. Moreover, even if translations are standard in GUIs and documentation, for some reason, everyone is okay with defaulting to English for the oldest form of computer interaction.

    Also, the joke is whatever you want it to be. Follow your dreams.
