SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensures your Umbraco backoffice extension works correctly across complete user journeys by running tests against a real, running Umbraco instance instead of relying on brittle UI assumptions or mocked behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Real E2E validation with Playwright: Runs end-to-end tests that cover authentication, navigation, and persistence.
  • Core-vs-extension testing approach: Uses @umbraco/playwright-testhelpers for core Umbraco operations (auth, navigation, core CRUD) and raw umbracoUi.page interactions for extension-specific UI elements.
  • Deterministic test data & teardown: Supports fast setup/cleanup using umbracoApi helpers and complex entity creation using @umbraco/json-models-builders.
  • Persistent data handling: Provides patterns for resetting Umbraco App_Data via globalSetup and a seed JSON file when your extension depends on stored state.

Quick Start

Run your Playwright E2E suite against a running Umbraco instance using environment variables for URL, login, and password, and ensure testhelpers are configured with data-mark selectors and STORAGE_STAGE_PATH for auth reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions about umbraco-e2e-testing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Playwright e2e tests against a running Umbraco backoffice instance?▼

Playwright e2e testing for Umbraco runs against a real instance using environment variables for URL, login, and password, configured with @umbraco/playwright-testhelpers and data-mark selectors for UI automation.

How do I create deterministic test data for Umbraco backoffice extension workflows?▼

Deterministic test data for Umbraco workflows uses umbracoApi helpers for fast setup and cleanup, while @umbraco/json-models-builders generates complex entities for comprehensive end-to-end validation scenarios.

Does Umbraco e2e testing support authentication reuse across multiple test runs?▼

Umbraco e2e testing supports authentication reuse by configuring STORAGE_STAGE_PATH, enabling deterministic authenticated test runs that persist login state across Playwright test executions.

What's the best way to test custom sections and trees in the Umbraco backoffice?▼

Testing custom Umbraco backoffice sections and trees uses raw umbracoUi.page interactions for extension-specific UI elements, complementing core operations handled by @umbraco/playwright-testhelpers.

How do I reset Umbraco App_Data when extension tests depend on persistent stored state?▼

Resetting Umbraco App_Data for extension tests uses a globalSetup configuration alongside a seed JSON file, restoring persistent data state required for consistent end-to-end workflow validation.

Can I use Playwright testhelpers for core Umbraco document CRUD operations?▼

@umbraco/playwright-testhelpers supports core Umbraco operations including authentication, navigation, and document CRUD, providing a foundation for testing backoffice extension workflows end-to-end.
