Section 1: Preparation

Playwright vs Cypress

Playwright Pros. Cypress Pros.
  • Faster test execution
  • OOTB free parallel execution
  • Multiple languages (JS/TS, Python, Java, C#
  • Multiple Tabs
  • Better iFrames
  • similar to Selenium
  • Less code - fast to write
  • Better auto-wait mechanism
  • Better documentation
  • Better testrunner (time machine)
  • Dashboard service

Development Environment Configuration

  • node.js => updated => done
  • Git => updated => done
  • VS Code => updated => done
  • Playwright extn for VS Code => installed

Clone Test App

--force needed to accept various warnings

Section 2: Javascript Fundamentals

I'm familiar with javascript - I'm fast forwarding through this without keeping notes

Section 3 - Playwright Hands-On Overview

  • create new folder & npm init playwright@latest

Ways to Run & Debug

  • CLI Test Executions
npx playwright test
npx playwright test example.spec.ts --project=chromium --headed
npx playwright test -g "has title"
npx playwright show-report
  • Test Execution with UI - OMG this debug UI is cool!
npx playwright test --ui
  • Test Execution with trace on
npx playwright test --project=chromium --trace on
npx playwright show-report
=> you can now open the trace from the report (which looks similar to the ui tool above)
trace can be generated from Ci/CD pipeline too, and then you can view the results saved in a zip file with a trace viewer
  • Test Execution with debug npx playwright test --project=chromium --debug
this opens the PLaywright inspector showing the code, debugging controls, and console information
and the browser window
  • Test execution with VS Code Extension => Test Explorer
Navigate to the test you want to debug
set any breakpoint(s)
VS Code shows the code, debugging controls, and console information
