SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Verifying that an application still works end-to-end after changes is slow and error-prone when done manually, and failing smoke tests often require tedious trace and log inspection to diagnose. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Smoke Suite Execution: Run the full Playwright smoke suite or a focused single test file for faster iteration. - Failure Diagnosis: Inspect traces and logs to isolate the root cause of failing tests. - Fix Verification: Apply minimal fixes and rerun tests until stable, reducing flaky false positives. - Use Case: After modifying a checkout flow, run the relevant smoke spec, inspect the Playwright trace for the failing step, apply a fix, and rerun until the suite passes consistently. ## Quick Start Run the smoke tests for this repository, debug any failures, and verify the fixes pass.

Frequently Asked Questions about run-smoke-tests

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Playwright smoke tests in a Node.js project?▼

Run the smoke suite with the project's npm script, such as npm run smoketest, or pass a specific spec file path to run a focused test. Build prerequisites for the target app first so the tests execute against current code.

How to debug a failing Playwright smoke test?▼

Inspect the Playwright traces and logs from the failed run to isolate the root cause, then apply a minimal fix and rerun the test. Repeat until the test passes consistently to confirm the fix is stable.

Can I run a single Playwright test file instead of the full suite?▼

Yes, pass the spec file path to the smoke test command, for example npm run smoketest -- path/to/test.spec.ts. A no-compile variant can speed iteration when build artifacts are already available.

Why are my smoke tests flaky and how do I reduce false positives?▼

Flakiness usually comes from brittle timeouts and race conditions. Prefer deterministic waits and assertions, and rerun passing fixes multiple times to confirm stability before trusting the result.

When should I quarantine a failing smoke test?▼

Quarantine a test only when explicitly requested and documented, not as a default response to failure. The preferred approach is diagnosing the root cause and applying a minimal fix first.
