Huge thanks @hugo-fasone for this PR 🙏 The analysis is genuinely outstanding: root cause traced all the way down to the triple The fix is surgical and minimal:
No API change, and the behaviour shift is spelled out in the "Compatibility" section (a dead browser now raising an error instead of being silently relaunched is indeed the more honest behaviour). LGTM, merging. Thanks again for the quality of the contribution 👏 |

…thods Suite au cache browser de #61, chaque getPage() reste peu coûteux mais reste un appel Chrome target enumeration. Les méthodes qui invoquaient getPage() plusieurs fois dans le même bloc paient encore ce prix inutilement. Factorise $page = $this->getPage() en tête de méthode dans : - CommonPage : visualCheckpoint, getTextContent, getInputValue, navigateTo, click, setValue - BackOfficePage : goToSubMenu - Products/Page : goToNewProduct - OrderView/Page : openShippingModal Aucun changement de sémantique.

Context
On any suite that calls
importPage(), runtime is dominated by redundant CDPreconnections rather than by actual browser work. Measured on a project with 2 suites /
5 tests (PHP 8.3, headless Chromium in a container, PS 9.1 target): 23.67 s, of
which roughly 15 s was pure bootstrap.
Launching Chromium accounts for only 208 ms — the cost is elsewhere.
Root cause
TestsSuite::getBrowser()re-reads the socket file and issues a freshBrowserFactory::connectToBrowser()on every call, never reusing the instance. Twoeffects compound:
connectToBrowser()getPages()TestsSuite::getBrowser()TestsSuite::getPage()getBrowser())The multiplier lives in
CommonPage::__call(), which evaluatesgetPage()threetimes — condition,
method_exists, invocation:And
importPage()calls$pageInstance->setUserAgent(...), which does not exist on thelibrary's
Pageclasses and therefore goes through that__call. Full chain:A suite importing 3 pages thus paid ~11 s before running its first test.
Changes
1.
TestsSuite::getBrowser()— reuse the connected instanceTwo statics (
$browserInstance,$browserInstanceSocket) plus a guard at the top of themethod. Invalidation has three conditions, so a dead browser is never handed back:
@unlinkbyExecuteSuite);getConnection()->isConnected()is false (browser closed or crashed).isConnected()performs no CDP round-trip — it only reads the local socket state inwrench\Client— so the guard stays free.ExecuteSuite::getBrowser(force: false)?->close()still retrieves the live instance to close it at the end of the run.
2.
TestsSuite::getPage()— one enumeration per attemptgetBrowser()is hoisted into a variable, andgetPages()is only re-issued after anactual
createPage()(the first list is otherwise already current). The ×3 retry loop andthe
applyExtraHttpHeaders()semantics are unchanged.3.
CommonPage::__call()— evaluategetPage()onceResults
getBrowser()(already connected)getPage()init()= 1 ×importPage()Compatibility
No API change and no observable behaviour change:
__call()still returns nothing — I deliberately did not add areturnoncall_user_func_array, since that would change the return value of every proxied calland is out of scope for a performance fix;
getPage()keeps itsreturn $pages[0](same semantics on an empty list) and its retryloop;
is the more honest behaviour: the previous silent relaunch dropped the session and
cookies, producing failures that were hard to interpret.
Testing
vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite Unit: OK (117 tests, 442 assertions) on PHP 8.3.importPage()path (3 pages, with BO credentials) exercised separately: importssucceed and the resulting failure is the login assertion, as expected.
