# class: BrowserContext
* since: v1.8

BrowserContexts provide a way to operate multiple independent browser sessions.

If a page opens another page, e.g. with a `window.open` call, the popup will belong to the parent page's browser
context.

Playwright allows creating isolated non-persistent browser contexts with [`method: Browser.newContext`] method. Non-persistent browser
contexts don't write any browsing data to disk.

```js
// Create a new incognito browser context
const context = await browser.newContext();
// Create a new page inside context.
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
// Dispose context once it's no longer needed.
await context.close();
```

```java
// Create a new incognito browser context
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
// Create a new page inside context.
Page page = context.newPage();
page.navigate("https://example.com");
// Dispose context once it is no longer needed.
context.close();
```

```python async
# create a new incognito browser context
context = await browser.new_context()
# create a new page inside context.
page = await context.new_page()
await page.goto("https://example.com")
# dispose context once it is no longer needed.
await context.close()
```

```python sync
# create a new incognito browser context
context = browser.new_context()
# create a new page inside context.
page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://example.com")
# dispose context once it is no longer needed.
context.close()
```

```csharp
using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
var browser = await playwright.Firefox.LaunchAsync(new() { Headless = false });
// Create a new incognito browser context
var context = await browser.NewContextAsync();
// Create a new page inside context.
var page = await context.NewPageAsync();
await page.GotoAsync("https://bing.com");
// Dispose context once it is no longer needed.
await context.CloseAsync();
```

## event: BrowserContext.backgroundPage
* since: v1.11
* deprecated: Background pages have been removed from Chromium together with Manifest V2 extensions.
- argument: <[Page]>

This event is not emitted.

## property: BrowserContext.clock
* since: v1.45
- type: <[Clock]>

Playwright has ability to mock clock and passage of time.

## property: BrowserContext.credentials
* since: v1.61
- type: <[Credentials]>

Virtual WebAuthn authenticator for this context. Lets tests seed credentials and intercept
`navigator.credentials.create()` / `navigator.credentials.get()` ceremonies.

## property: BrowserContext.debugger
* since: v1.59
- type: <[Debugger]>

Debugger allows to pause and resume the execution.

## event: BrowserContext.close
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[BrowserContext]>

Emitted when Browser context gets closed. This might happen because of one of the following:
* Browser context is closed.
* Browser application is closed or crashed.
* The [`method: Browser.close`] method was called.

### option: BrowserContext.close.reason
* since: v1.40
- `reason` <[string]>

The reason to be reported to the operations interrupted by the context closure.

## event: BrowserContext.console
* since: v1.34
* langs:
  - alias-java: consoleMessage
- argument: <[ConsoleMessage]>

Emitted when JavaScript within the page calls one of console API methods, e.g. `console.log` or `console.dir`.

The arguments passed into `console.log` and the page are available on the [ConsoleMessage] event handler argument.

**Usage**

```js
context.on('console', async msg => {
  const values = [];
  for (const arg of msg.args())
    values.push(await arg.jsonValue());
  console.log(...values);
});
await page.evaluate(() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' }));
```

```java
context.onConsoleMessage(msg -> {
  for (int i = 0; i < msg.args().size(); ++i)
    System.out.println(i + ": " + msg.args().get(i).jsonValue());
});
page.evaluate("() => console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");
```

```python async
async def print_args(msg):
    values = []
    for arg in msg.args:
        values.append(await arg.json_value())
    print(values)

context.on("console", print_args)
await page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")
```

```python sync
def print_args(msg):
    for arg in msg.args:
        print(arg.json_value())

context.on("console", print_args)
page.evaluate("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })")
```

```csharp
context.Console += async (_, msg) =>
{
    foreach (var arg in msg.Args)
        Console.WriteLine(await arg.JsonValueAsync<object>());
};

await page.EvaluateAsync("console.log('hello', 5, { foo: 'bar' })");
```


## event: BrowserContext.dialog
* since: v1.34
- argument: <[Dialog]>

Emitted when a JavaScript dialog appears, such as `alert`, `prompt`, `confirm` or `beforeunload`. Listener **must** either [`method: Dialog.accept`] or [`method: Dialog.dismiss`] the dialog - otherwise the page will [freeze](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop#never_blocking) waiting for the dialog, and actions like click will never finish.

**Usage**

```js
context.on('dialog', dialog => {
  dialog.accept();
});
```

```java
context.onDialog(dialog -> {
  dialog.accept();
});
```

```python
context.on("dialog", lambda dialog: dialog.accept())
```

```csharp
Context.Dialog += async (_, dialog) =>
{
    await dialog.AcceptAsync();
};
```

:::note
When no [`event: Page.dialog`] or [`event: BrowserContext.dialog`] listeners are present, all dialogs are automatically dismissed.
:::

## event: BrowserContext.download
* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Download]>

Emitted when attachment download started in any page belonging to this context. User can access basic file operations on downloaded content via the passed [Download] instance. See also [`event: Page.download`] to receive events about a specific page.

## event: BrowserContext.frameAttached
* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is attached in any page belonging to this context. See also [`event: Page.frameAttached`] to receive events about a specific page.

## event: BrowserContext.frameDetached
* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is detached in any page belonging to this context. See also [`event: Page.frameDetached`] to receive events about a specific page.

## event: BrowserContext.frameNavigated
* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Frame]>

Emitted when a frame is navigated to a new url in any page belonging to this context. See also [`event: Page.frameNavigated`] to receive events about navigations in a specific page.

## event: BrowserContext.page
* since: v1.8
- argument: <[Page]>

The event is emitted when a new Page is created in the BrowserContext. The page may still be loading. The event will
also fire for popup pages. See also [`event: Page.popup`] to receive events about popups relevant to a specific page.

The earliest moment that page is available is when it has navigated to the initial url. For example, when opening a
popup with `window.open('http://example.com')`, this event will fire when the network request to "http://example.com" is
done and its response has started loading in the popup. If you would like to route/listen to this network request, use [`method: BrowserContext.route`] and [`event: BrowserContext.request`] respectively instead of similar methods on the [Page].

```js
const newPagePromise = context.waitForEvent('page');
await page.getByText('open new page').click();
const newPage = await newPagePromise;
console.log(await newPage.evaluate('location.href'));
```

```java
Page newPage = context.waitForPage(() -> {
  page.getByText("open new page").click();
});
System.out.println(newPage.evaluate("location.href"));
```

```python async
async with context.expect_page() as page_info:
    await page.get_by_text("open new page").click(),
page = await page_info.value
print(await page.evaluate("location.href"))
```

```python sync
with context.expect_page() as page_info:
    page.get_by_text("open new page").click(),
page = page_info.value
print(page.evaluate("location.href"))
```

```csharp
var popup = await context.RunAndWaitForPageAsync(async =>
{
    await page.GetByText("open new page").ClickAsync();
});
Console.WriteLine(await popup.EvaluateAsync<string>("location.href"));
```

:::note
Use [`method: Page.waitForLoadState`] to wait until the page gets to a particular state (you should not need it in most
cases).
:::

## event: BrowserContext.pageClose
* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when a page in this context is closed. See also [`event: Page.close`] to receive events about a specific page.

* since: v1.60
- argument: <[Page]>

Emitted when the JavaScript [`load`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/load) event is dispatched in any page belonging to this context. See also [`event: Page.load`] to receive events about a specific page.

## event: BrowserContext.webError
* since: v1.38
- argument: <[WebError]>

Emitted when exception is unhandled in any of the pages in this
context. To listen for errors from a particular page, use [`event: Page.pageError`] instead.

## event: BrowserContext.request
* since: v1.12
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request is issued from any pages created through this context.
The [request] object is read-only. To only listen for requests from a particular
page, use [`event: Page.request`].

In order to intercept and mutate requests, see [`method: BrowserContext.route`]
or [`method: Page.route`].

## event: BrowserContext.requestFailed
* since: v1.12
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request fails, for example by timing out. To only listen for
failed requests from a particular page, use [`event: Page.requestFailed`].

:::note
HTTP Error responses, such as 404 or 503, are still successful responses from HTTP standpoint, so request will complete
with [`event: BrowserContext.requestFinished`] event and not with [`event: BrowserContext.requestFailed`].
:::

## event: BrowserContext.requestFinished
* since: v1.12
- argument: <[Request]>

Emitted when a request finishes successfully after downloading the response body. For a successful response, the
sequence of events is `request`, `response` and `requestfinished`. To listen for
successful requests from a particular page, use [`event: Page.requestFinished`].

## event: BrowserContext.response
* since: v1.12
- argument: <[Response]>

Emitted when [response] status and headers are received for a request. For a successful response, the sequence of events
is `request`, `response` and `requestfinished`. To listen for response events
from a particular page, use [`event: Page.response`].

## event: BrowserContext.serviceWorker
* since: v1.11
* langs: js, python
- argument: <[Worker]>

:::note
Service workers are only supported on Chromium-based browsers.
:::

Emitted when new service worker is created in the context.

## async method: BrowserContext.addCookies
* since: v1.8

```

```java
browserContext.addCookies(Arrays.asList(cookieObject1, cookieObject2));
```

```python async
await browser_context.add_cookies([cookie_object1, cookie_object2])
```

```python sync
browser_context.add_cookies([cookie_object1, cookie_object2])
```

```csharp
await context.AddCookiesAsync(new[] { cookie1, cookie2 });
```

### param: BrowserContext.addCookies.cookies
* since: v1.8
- `cookies` <[Array]<[Object]>>
  * alias-java: Cookie
  - `name` <[string]>
  - `value` <[string]>
  - `url` ?<[string]> Either `url` or both `domain` and `path` are required. Optional.
  - `domain` ?<[string]> For the cookie to apply to all subdomains as well, prefix domain with a dot, like this: ".example.com". Either `url` or both `domain` and `path` are required. Optional.
  - `path` ?<[string]> Either `url` or both `domain` and `path` are required. Optional.

## async method: BrowserContext.addInitScript
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

Adds a script which would be evaluated in one of the following scenarios:
* Whenever a page is created in the browser context or is navigated.
* Whenever a child frame is attached or navigated in any page in the browser context. In this case, the script is
  evaluated in the context of the newly attached frame.

The script is evaluated after the document was created but before any of its scripts were run. This is useful to amend
the JavaScript environment, e.g. to seed `Math.random`.

**Usage**

An example of overriding `Math.random` before the page loads:

```js browser
// preload.js
Math.random = () => 42;
```

```js
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory.
await browserContext.addInitScript({
  path: 'preload.js'
});
```

```java
// In your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory.
browserContext.addInitScript(Paths.get("preload.js"));
```

```python async
# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory.
await browser_context.add_init_script(path="preload.js")
```

```python sync
# in your playwright script, assuming the preload.js file is in same directory.
browser_context.add_init_script(path="preload.js")
```

```csharp
await Context.AddInitScriptAsync(scriptPath: "preload.js");
```

:::note
The order of evaluation of multiple scripts installed via [`method: BrowserContext.addInitScript`] and
[`method: Page.addInitScript`] is not defined.

## async method: BrowserContext.exposeBinding
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

The method adds a function called [`param: name`] on the `window` object of every frame in every page in the context.
When called, the function executes [`param: callback`] and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of
[`param: callback`]. If the [`param: callback`] returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

The first argument of the [`param: callback`] function contains information about the caller: `{ browserContext:
BrowserContext, page: Page, frame: Frame }`.

See [`method: Page.exposeBinding`] for page-only version.

**Usage**

An example of exposing page URL to all frames in all pages in the context:

```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch({ headless: false });
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  await context.exposeBinding('pageURL', ({ page }) => page.url());
  const page = await context.newPage();

### param: BrowserContext.exposeBinding.name
* since: v1.8
- `name` <[string]>

Name of the function on the window object.

### param: BrowserContext.exposeBinding.callback
* since: v1.8
- `callback` <[function]>
  * alias: BindingCallback

Callback function that will be called in the Playwright's context.

## async method: BrowserContext.exposeFunction
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

The method adds a function called [`param: name`] on the `window` object of every frame in every page in the context.
When called, the function executes [`param: callback`] and returns a [Promise] which resolves to the return value of
[`param: callback`].

If the [`param: callback`] returns a [Promise], it will be awaited.

See [`method: Page.exposeFunction`] for page-only version.

**Usage**

An example of adding a `sha256` function to all pages in the context:

```js
const { webkit } = require('playwright');  // Or 'chromium' or 'firefox'.
const crypto = require('crypto');

(async () => {
  const browser = await webkit.launch({ headless: false });
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  await context.exposeFunction('sha256', text =>
    crypto.createHash('sha256').update(text).digest('hex'),
  );
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.setContent(`
    <script>
      async function onClick() {
        document.querySelector('div').textContent = await window.sha256('PLAYWRIGHT');
      }
    </script>
    <button onclick="onClick()">Click me</button>
    <div></div>

Indicates that the browser context is in the process of closing or has already been closed.

## async method: BrowserContext.newCDPSession
* since: v1.11
- returns: <[CDPSession]>

:::note
CDP sessions are only supported on Chromium-based browsers.
:::

Returns the newly created session.

### param: BrowserContext.newCDPSession.page

## async method: BrowserContext.route
* since: v1.8
- returns: <[Disposable]>

Routing provides the capability to modify network requests that are made by any page in the browser context. Once route
is enabled, every request matching the url pattern will stall unless it's continued, fulfilled or aborted.

:::note
[`method: BrowserContext.route`] will not intercept requests intercepted by Service Worker. See [this](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting [`option: Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers`] to `'block'`.
:::

**Usage**

An example of a naive handler that aborts all image requests:

```js
const context = await browser.newContext();
await context.route('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}', route => route.abort());
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
```

```java
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", route -> route.abort());
Page page = context.newPage();
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();
```

```python async
context = await browser.new_context()
page = await context.new_page()
await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()
```

```python sync
context = browser.new_context()
page = context.new_page()
context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", lambda route: route.abort())
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()
```

```csharp
var context = await browser.NewContextAsync();
var page = await context.NewPageAsync();
await context.RouteAsync("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}", r => r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://theverge.com");
await browser.CloseAsync();
```

or the same snippet using a regex pattern instead:

```js
const context = await browser.newContext();
await context.route(/(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)/, route => route.abort());
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await browser.close();
```

```java
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
context.route(Pattern.compile("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), route -> route.abort());
Page page = context.newPage();
page.navigate("https://example.com");
browser.close();
```

```python async
context = await browser.new_context()
page = await context.new_page()
await context.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
page = await context.new_page()
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await browser.close()
```

```python sync
context = browser.new_context()
page = context.new_page()
context.route(re.compile(r"(\.png$)|(\.jpg$)"), lambda route: route.abort())
page = await context.new_page()
page = context.new_page()
page.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()
```

```csharp
var context = await browser.NewContextAsync();
var page = await context.NewPageAsync();
await context.RouteAsync(new Regex("(\\.png$)|(\\.jpg$)"), r => r.AbortAsync());
await page.GotoAsync("https://theverge.com");
await browser.CloseAsync();
```

It is possible to examine the request to decide the route action. For example, mocking all requests that contain some post data, and leaving all other requests as is:

```js
await context.route('/api/**', async route => {
  if (route.request().postData().includes('my-string'))
    await route.fulfill({ body: 'mocked-data' });
  else
    await route.continue();
});
```

```java
context.route("/api/**", route -> {
  if (route.request().postData().contains("my-string"))
    route.fulfill(new Route.FulfillOptions().setBody("mocked-data"));
  else
    route.resume();
});
```

```python async
async def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    await route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    await route.continue_()
await context.route("/api/**", handle_route)
```

```python sync
def handle_route(route: Route):
  if ("my-string" in route.request.post_data):
    route.fulfill(body="mocked-data")
  else:
    route.continue_()
context.route("/api/**", handle_route)
```

```csharp
await page.RouteAsync("/api/**", async r =>
{
    if (r.Request.PostData.Contains("my-string"))
        await r.FulfillAsync(new() { Body = "mocked-data" });
    else
        await r.ContinueAsync();
});
```

Page routes (set up with [`method: Page.route`]) take precedence over browser context routes when request matches both
handlers.

To remove a route with its handler you can use [`method: BrowserContext.unroute`].

:::note
Enabling routing disables http cache.
:::

- `times` <[int]>

How often a route should be used. By default it will be used every time.

## async method: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR
* since: v1.23

If specified the network requests that are made in the context will be served from the HAR file. Read more about [Replaying from HAR](../mock.md#replaying-from-har).

Playwright will not serve requests intercepted by Service Worker from the HAR file. See [this](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/1090) issue. We recommend disabling Service Workers when using request interception by setting [`option: Browser.newContext.serviceWorkers`] to `'block'`.

### param: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR.har
* since: v1.23
- `har` <[path]>

Path to a [HAR](http://www.softwareishard.com/blog/har-12-spec) file with prerecorded network data. If `path` is a relative path, then it is resolved relative to the current working directory.

### option: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR.notFound
* since: v1.23
- `notFound` ?<[HarNotFound]<"abort"|"fallback">>
* If set to 'abort' any request not found in the HAR file will be aborted.
* If set to 'fallback' falls through to the next route handler in the handler chain.

Defaults to abort.

### option: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR.update
* since: v1.23
- `update` ?<boolean>

If specified, updates the given HAR with the actual network information instead of serving from file. The file is written to disk when [`method: BrowserContext.close`] is called.

### option: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR.url
* since: v1.23
- `url` <[string]|[RegExp]>

A glob pattern, regular expression or predicate to match the request URL. Only requests with URL matching the pattern will be served from the HAR file. If not specified, all requests are served from the HAR file.

- `updateMode` <[HarMode]<"full"|"minimal">>

When set to `minimal`, only record information necessary for routing from HAR. This omits sizes, timing, page, cookies, security and other types of HAR information that are not used when replaying from HAR. Defaults to `minimal`.

### option: BrowserContext.routeFromHAR.updateContent
* since: v1.32
- `updateContent` <[RouteFromHarUpdateContentPolicy]<"embed"|"attach">>

Optional setting to control resource content management. If `attach` is specified, resources are persisted as separate files or entries in the ZIP archive. If `embed` is specified, content is stored inline the HAR file.


## async method: BrowserContext.routeWebSocket

    ws.send(message);
  });
  ws.connect();
});
```

```python async

* langs: java

The method will block until the condition returns true. All Playwright events will
be dispatched while the method is waiting for the condition.

**Usage**

Use the method to wait for a condition that depends on page events:

```java
List<String> failedUrls = new ArrayList<>();
context.onResponse(response -> {
  if (!response.ok()) {
    failedUrls.add(response.url());
  }
});
page1.getByText("Create user").click();
page2.getByText("Submit button").click();
context.waitForCondition(() -> failedUrls.size() > 3);
```

### param: BrowserContext.waitForCondition.condition
* since: v1.32
- `condition` <[BooleanSupplier]>

Condition to wait for.

### option: BrowserContext.waitForCondition.timeout = %%-wait-for-function-timeout-%%
* since: v1.32

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage
* since: v1.34
* langs: java, python, csharp
  - alias-python: expect_console_message
  - alias-csharp: RunAndWaitForConsoleMessage
- returns: <[ConsoleMessage]>

Performs action and waits for a [ConsoleMessage] to be logged by in the pages in the context. If predicate is provided, it passes
[ConsoleMessage] value into the `predicate` function and waits for `predicate(message)` to return a truthy value.
Will throw an error if the page is closed before the [`event: BrowserContext.console`] event is fired.

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage
* since: v1.34
* langs: python
- returns: <[EventContextManager]<[ConsoleMessage]>>

### param: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage.action = %%-csharp-wait-for-event-action-%%
* since: v1.34

### option: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage.predicate
* since: v1.34
- `predicate` <[function]\([ConsoleMessage]\):[boolean]>

Receives the [ConsoleMessage] object and resolves to truthy value when the waiting should resolve.

### option: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage.timeout = %%-wait-for-event-timeout-%%
* since: v1.34
### option: BrowserContext.waitForConsoleMessage.signal = %%-wait-for-event-signal-%%

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForEvent
* since: v1.8
* langs: js, python
  - alias-python: expect_event
- returns: <[any]>

Waits for event to fire and passes its value into the predicate function. Returns when the predicate returns truthy
value. Will throw an error if the context closes before the event is fired. Returns the event data value.

**Usage**

```js
const pagePromise = context.waitForEvent('page');
await page.getByRole('button').click();
const page = await pagePromise;
```

```java
Page newPage = context.waitForPage(() -> page.getByRole(AriaRole.BUTTON).click());
```

```python async
async with context.expect_event("page") as event_info:
    await page.get_by_role("button").click()
page = await event_info.value
```

```python sync
with context.expect_event("page") as event_info:
    page.get_by_role("button").click()
page = event_info.value
```

```csharp
var page = await context.RunAndWaitForPageAsync(async () =>
{
    await page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Button).ClickAsync();
});
```

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForEvent
* since: v1.8
* langs: python
- returns: <[EventContextManager]>

### param: BrowserContext.waitForEvent.event
* since: v1.8
- `event` <[string]>

Event name, same one would pass into `browserContext.on(event)`.

### param: BrowserContext.waitForEvent.optionsOrPredicate
* since: v1.8
* langs: js
- `optionsOrPredicate` ?<[function]|[Object]>
  - `predicate` <[function]> Receives the event data and resolves to truthy value when the waiting should resolve.
  - `timeout` ?<[float]> Maximum time to wait for in milliseconds. Defaults to `0` - no timeout. The default value can be changed via `actionTimeout` option in the config, or by using the [`method: BrowserContext.setDefaultTimeout`] method.

Either a predicate that receives an event or an options object. Optional.

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForPage
* since: v1.9
* langs: java, python, csharp
  - alias-python: expect_page
  - alias-csharp: RunAndWaitForPage
- returns: <[Page]>

Performs action and waits for a new [Page] to be created in the context. If predicate is provided, it passes
[Page] value into the `predicate` function and waits for `predicate(event)` to return a truthy value.
Will throw an error if the context closes before new [Page] is created.

## async method: BrowserContext.waitForPage

### option: BrowserContext.waitForPage.predicate
* since: v1.9
* langs: csharp, java, python
- `predicate` <[function]\([Page]\):[boolean]>

Receives the [Page] object and resolves to truthy value when the waiting should resolve.

- returns: <[any]>

:::note
In most cases, you should use [`method: BrowserContext.waitForEvent`].
:::

Waits for given `event` to fire. If predicate is provided, it passes
event's value into the `predicate` function and waits for `predicate(event)` to return a truthy value.
Will throw an error if the browser context is closed before the `event` is fired.
