SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers automate testing of local web applications using Python Playwright scripts, enabling repeatable UI checks, easier debugging, and automatic capture of browser logs and screenshots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated server lifecycle management with scripts/with_server.py to start/stop local servers and run automation.
  • Playwright-based UI testing: navigate pages, wait for network idle, capture logs and screenshots.
  • Reference patterns: examples/ directory with sample scripts for console logging, element discovery, static HTML automation.

Quick Start

Use the skill to start a local server and run an automation script as shown below.

Start a single server and run automation: python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py

Start multiple servers and run automation: python scripts/with_server.py
--server "cd backend && python server.py" --port 3000
--server "cd frontend && npm run dev" --port 5173
-- python your_automation.py

Minimal automation example: from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True) page = browser.new_page() page.goto('http://localhost:5173') page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle') # your automation logic browser.close()

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate local web app testing with Playwright and capture browser logs?▼

Automate local web app testing with Playwright using Python scripts to navigate pages, wait for network idle, and automatically capture browser logs and screenshots for easier UI debugging.

Can I start and stop a local server automatically when running UI tests?▼

Yes, you can orchestrate local server lifecycle management during UI tests by using the provided server script to start single or multiple servers, run browser automation, and stop them automatically.

How do I run Playwright browser automation against both frontend and backend local servers?▼

You can run Playwright browser automation against multiple local servers by passing multiple server commands and ports to the server orchestration script before executing your Python automation script.

Does this testing workflow support static HTML files without a running server?▼

Yes, the testing workflow supports both static and dynamic local web applications, allowing you to run browser automation and UI debugging directly on static HTML files without requiring a running server.

What sample reference patterns are available for UI debugging and element discovery?▼

The skill provides sample reference scripts in the examples directory for console logging, element discovery, and static HTML automation to help you establish repeatable UI checks and debugging patterns.

Do I need to run Playwright in headless mode for local web application testing?▼

You can run Playwright in headless mode for local web application testing by launching the browser with headless=True, enabling automated UI checks to run in the background without opening a visible browser window.
