get-playwright-version

This parses the your project's lockfile and returns the installed playwright version. Supported are package-lock.json (NPM), yarn.lock (Yarn 1), and pnpm-lock.yaml (PNPM).

If you are using the Playwright Docker Image in your CI, Playwright strongly recommends using a versioned tag. This action can help you make sure your project's Playwright version matches the Playwright Docker Image version.
