SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Port Taiko automation scripts and Gauge specs to a wide range of target frameworks, enabling teams to migrate, re-use, and round-trip tests with reduced effort and risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Converts Taiko standalone scripts to Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, WebDriverIO, Puppeteer, Appium, Cucumber, Eggplant, TestCafe, Nightwatch, CodeceptJS, OpenTest.AI, Testers.AI Recorder, and Testers.AI Dynamic.
  • Generates reverse-emission mappings to port tests back to Taiko or alternative targets, including Gauge-backed specs.
  • Preserves Taiko selector builders, proximity locators, and REPL-origin guidance to minimize drift during migration.

Quick Start

Convert Taiko tests to a specified target, preserving proximity locators and selector builders.

Frequently Asked Questions about open-testing-convert-taiko

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert Taiko automation scripts to Playwright or Cypress?

Yes, you can migrate Taiko tests to Playwright or Cypress by providing valid Taiko sources with SKILL metadata frontmatter. The conversion preserves proximity locators and selector builders to minimize drift during the framework migration.

Can I port Gauge-backed Taiko specs to other automation frameworks?

Yes, Gauge-backed Taiko specs can be ported to other automation frameworks. The conversion supports standalone Taiko scripts and Gauge specs, generating mappings that handle proximity locators, selector builders, and mocks for the target framework.

What is reverse-emission mapping for Taiko test migration?

Reverse-emission mapping generates rules to port tests back to Taiko or alternative targets from modern frameworks like Selenium or Playwright. This enables round-trip porting and seamless migration across the full set of supported automation targets.

Does converting Taiko tests to Selenium preserve REPL-origin guidance and mocks?

Yes, converting Taiko tests to Selenium preserves REPL-origin guidance, mocks, and replays. The conversion applies mapping rules to translate these elements while maintaining compatibility with the target framework's execution model.

What do I need to set up before migrating Taiko tests to WebDriverIO or Appium?

You need existing Taiko sources and a valid SKILL metadata frontmatter to guide source detection, target enumeration, and mapping rules. No additional dependencies are required to migrate tests to WebDriverIO or Appium.

Are there limitations when porting Taiko proximity locators to Cucumber or TestCafe?

The conversion handles proximity locators and selector builders to minimize drift, but limitations may arise if the target framework like Cucumber or TestCafe lacks native equivalents for Taiko's specific locator strategies.
