[Feature]: Ability to view localStorage in the traceViewer

[ychaudhari]

🚀 Feature Request

Some of our apps feature depends on the variables set in the localStorage and when some tests fail, we need to understand what the values in localStorage are. I'm not sure how feasible it is but it will be great to see value of the localStorage during the test run in the trace viewer if possible. That'll help us debug the issues very efficiently.

PS: Love the trace viewer, it provides excellent view of what happened in the browser during test run. We almost never have to spend time in re-running tests in order to reproduce CI failures.

Motivation

Through the trace viewer, playwright provides excellent view of the network, console tabs during the test run. This feature will enrich the trace viewer further and help users like us to save even more time in debugging tests in certain situations.

Do you need to see it after each action or just in the end of a failing test?

Thanks @yury-s for the reply,
Ideally, after each action will be great (because our app changes values during certain steps in some cases), but, knowing final values at the end of test will also solve some use cases.
