Implementation Reference
- src/playwright_server/server.py:205-217 (handler)The NavigateToolHandler class implements the core logic for the 'playwright_navigate' tool. It checks for an active session (auto-creating one if needed), navigates to the specified URL using Playwright's page.goto(), retrieves page text content, and returns a confirmation message with a preview of the page text.class NavigateToolHandler(ToolHandler): async def handle(self, name: str, arguments: dict | None) -> list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource]: if not self._sessions: await NewSessionToolHandler().handle("",{}) # return [types.TextContent(type="text", text="No active session. Please create a new session first.")] session_id = list(self._sessions.keys())[-1] page = self._sessions[session_id]["page"] url = arguments.get("url") if not url.startswith("http://") and not url.startswith("https://"): url = "https://" + url await page.goto(url) text_content=await GetTextContentToolHandler().handle("",{}) return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Navigated to {url}\npage_text_content[:200]:\n\n{text_content[:200]}")]
