What problem does it solve?

This skill helps software teams automate testing of local web applications by providing Playwright-based scripts, server management utilities, and practical examples that reduce manual debugging time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playwright-driven automation for local web apps, enabling reliable UI interactions and screenshot capture.
  • Server lifecycle helper (scripts/with_server.py) to manage one or more servers during tests.
  • A collection of example scripts (examples/) demonstrating common testing patterns and strategies.
  • Guidance for reconnaissance-then-action style testing to inspect rendered DOM and identify selectors before actions.

Quick Start

Run a sample automation to test a local app: python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python examples/element_discovery.py

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate local web app testing with Playwright for multiple servers?

Automate local web app testing with Playwright using the with_server.py helper to manage one or more local servers. It starts server processes on specified ports and executes Python Playwright scripts against them deterministically.

What is the best way to inspect rendered DOM elements before running Playwright automation?

Inspect rendered DOM elements for Playwright automation using a reconnaissance-then-action testing approach. The provided example scripts demonstrate discovering element selectors and inspecting DOM structure before executing browser interactions.

Do I need a Python virtual environment to run Playwright browser automation scripts?

Yes, a Python virtual environment is required to run Playwright browser automation scripts. The skill relies on standard Python tooling, specifically pip and virtualenv, to install dependencies and execute the testing scripts.

Can I capture browser screenshots during local web application testing?

Yes, you can capture browser screenshots during local web application testing. The Playwright-driven automation scripts enable reliable UI interactions and screenshot capture for local web apps to reduce manual debugging.

Does this Playwright testing skill support testing apps running on different local ports?

Yes, this Playwright testing skill supports testing apps on different local ports. The server management helper allows specifying the port and server command, such as running a dev server on port 5173 before executing tests.
