Description

I have started a poc with Playwright 1.19 for automating an electron app embedded in glue 42 launchpad. Currrently doing this with JS but wanted to know if there is any Java support available for PLaywright for electron apps? If not are there any plans of introducing Java support for electron apps using Playwright?
