useSpecificBundleVersionBooleanIf set true: LambdaTest will select the playwright server version as per the browser version you have passed in the capabilities. Check the supported browser version list.

If the value set in the browser version capability is supported by multiple Playwright versions, LambdaTest checks your Playwright client version and sets the Playwright version accordingly.


If set false : LambdaTest will run your playwright tests with the same version as setup in your local system and the browser version will also be used the compatible one as per the supported browser version list and not your defined one.
const capabilities = { "LT:Options": {"useSpecificBundleVersion": true,}}

Test across 3000+ combinations of browsers, real devices & OS.
