A lot of the helpers in `helpers.ts` are heavily bound to NodeJS and at
the moment we're trying to make the `Connection` class be able to run in
multiple environments. Its only remaining Node dependency was its
reliance on `helpers.ts`, which it only needed for `assert`.
This is a useful change also because `helpers.ts` is quite large and
full of functions that do different things; I think we can name them
better and move them into modules with a specific purpose rather than a
generic `"helpers"` dumping ground.
Once this change lands `Connection` should be usable in the browser.
* chore: extract `BrowserRunner` into its own module
`src/Launcher.ts` is large and hard to work in. It has multiple objects
defined in it:
* ChromeLauncher
* FirefoxLauncher
* BrowserRunner
* Launcher
This change moves BrowserRunner into its own module. More refactorings
like this will follow but this is the first step.
* Warn when given unsupported product name.
Fixes#5844.
This change means when a user launches Puppeteer with a product name
that is not supported (which at the time of this commit means it's not
`firefox` or `chrome) we will warn them about it.
Decided on just a warning vs an error because the current behaviour is
that we fallback to launching Chrome and I don't think this warrants a
breaking change.
* chore: remove src/externs.d.ts
It defined global types that we don't want to use, and instead we move
to using interfaces that we import and reference just like with any
other interface.
This means other than Protocol (which I think is fine to leave as is),
there are no other magic global types and you have to import any types
or interfaces that you want.
