SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides a repeatable, scriptable way to interact with and verify local web applications so developers and QA can discover selectors, capture visual state, and collect browser logs without manual clicking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server orchestration: helper script to start one or more local servers, wait for readiness, and run a command while ensuring cleanup.
  • Playwright automation: patterns and examples for synchronous Playwright scripts to navigate, wait for networkidle, inspect DOM, click elements, and take screenshots.
  • Diagnostics & logging: examples to capture console logs and save visual artifacts for debugging flaky UI behavior.
  • Use Case: run a frontend and backend locally, discover selectors from the rendered DOM, assert UI flows, and save screenshots and console logs for CI or manual review.

Quick Start

Start the app using the scripts/with_server.py helper and run a Playwright Python script to inspect, interact with, and capture screenshots and console logs.

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

To automate Playwright tests for a local web app, use a helper server orchestration script to start multiple local servers, wait for networkidle readiness, run test commands, and clean up processes automatically.

How do I capture screenshots and console logs during web testing?

To capture screenshots and console logs during web testing, run synchronous Playwright scripts that navigate the DOM, interact with elements, and save visual artifacts alongside browser console output for debugging.

Does Playwright work with static HTML files and dynamic JavaScript frontends?

Playwright works with both static HTML files and dynamic JavaScript frontends, applying DOM inspection and selector discovery to verify UI flows across diverse local development setups.

What is the best way to orchestrate local servers before running end-to-end tests?

The best way to orchestrate local servers for end-to-end tests is using a dedicated helper script that starts backend and frontend servers, waits for readiness, and ensures process cleanup after tests finish.

Why does my Playwright test fail to find UI selectors on local development setups?

Playwright tests fail to find UI selectors when the local servers are not fully ready, which can be resolved by waiting for networkidle before inspecting the rendered DOM.
