# Playwright Trace CLI

See exactly what your test run did, from the terminal

## What this does

A test run ended and something went wrong, or you simply want to check what it did. This lets you open the run's trace file from your command line and go through it: the actions taken, requests sent, console output, errors, plus snapshots and screenshots. Reach for it whenever a run finishes and you need answers from the record instead of guesses.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- List every action a run took
- View the requests a run sent
- Read console output and errors from a run

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Playwright Trace CLI

A trace file is a record of what happened during a run, and this reads those records straight from the command line. When a run breaks or behaves strangely, you can go back through what actually took place.

List the actions the run performed, view the requests it sent, and read its console output and errors. Snapshots and screenshots are included too.
