"""
Tests for camoufox.server.
Regression cover for #656: `python -m camoufox server` broke on Playwright
1.60, which bundled away the private `lib/browserServerImpl.js` that
launchServer.js reached into. The two tests below pin the invariants the fix
relies on, so the next time Playwright reshuffles its internals this fails in
CI rather than in a user's terminal.
These need Playwright's driver (a dependency) but never download or launch a
browser, so they stay fast enough to run anywhere.
Run with:
cd pythonlib && python -m pytest tests/test_server.py -v
