[Bug]: Playwright CLI Drag is not working

[sachinvarma-sf]

Version

1.60.0

Steps to reproduce

• playwright-cli open https://demo.playwright.dev/todomvc/ -> any page which has drag and drop functionality

• playwright-cli drag e5 e10

Expected behavior

Expected: Drag-and-drop is performed between the two elements.

Actual behavior

Zod validation error:

[
  {
    "expected": "string",
    "code": "invalid_type",
    "path": ["startElement"],
    "message": "Invalid input: expected string, received undefined"
  },
  {
    "expected": "string",
    "code": "invalid_type",
    "path": ["endElement"],
    "message": "Invalid input: expected string, received undefined"
  }
]

Additional context

Root Cause:

The CLI daemon's drag command (playwright-core/lib/tools/cli-daemon/commands.js) converts positional args into startRef/endRef but never passes startElement/endElement to the MCP tool
