USER: write a playwright script to fetch the text from a url supplied on the cmd line
ASSISTANT: To create a Playwright script that fetches text from a URL supplied on the command line, I will write the necessary code in the `playw.py` file. The script will use Playwright's Python package to launch a browser, navigate to the provided URL, and print the text content of the page to the console.
Here is the diff for the new `playw.py` file:
```diff

+import asyncio
+from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
+import sys
+
+async def main(url):
+ async with async_playwright() as p:
+ browser = await p.chromium.launch()
+ page = await browser.new_page()
+ await page.goto(url)
+ content = await page.content()
+ print(content)
+ await browser.close()
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+ if len(sys.argv) < 2:
+ print("Usage: python playw.py <URL>")
+ sys.exit(1)
+ asyncio.run(main(sys.argv[1]))
```
This script will require the Playwright package to be installed. You can install it using `pip install playwright` and then run `playwright install` to install the necessary browser binaries. To run the script, use the command `python playw.py <URL>`, replacing `<URL>` with the actual URL you want to fetch text from.
