Abort a request to block third-party scripts
Drop matching outgoing requests before they're sent — keeps analytics and trackers out of test runs.
1test('page works with analytics requests blocked', async ({ page }) => {
2 // route.abort() drops the request — the browser never sends it.
3 // Block analytics early so they don't pollute network logs or fire events.
4 await page.route(/google-analytics\.com|segment\.io|hotjar\.com/, (route) => {
5 route.abort();
6 });

8 await page.goto('/home');

10 // The page should still render correctly without the blocked resources
11 await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { level: 1 })).toBeVisible();
