SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies automated testing of local web applications by providing Playwright-based Python scripts and a server-management helper, reducing manual QA effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playwright-based automated UI testing for local apps
  • Server lifecycle management with scripts/with_server.py for multi-server setups
  • Examples for console logging, element discovery, and static HTML automation

Quick Start

  1. Install Python dependencies and Playwright browsers: pip install playwright followed by playwright install
  2. Run an example automation (a simple server + script): python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python examples/element_discovery.py
  3. Adapt and run your own Playwright-based scripts by importing Playwright and using the provided examples as references
