SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust toolkit for interacting with and testing local web applications, streamlining the process of verifying frontend functionality and debugging UI behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Testing: Write and execute Python Playwright scripts to test web applications.
  • Server Management: Automatically manage the lifecycle of local development servers (e.g., npm run dev).
  • Debugging Tools: Capture screenshots and browser console logs for in-depth analysis.
  • Use Case: You need to ensure a new feature on your local development server works as expected. You can use this Skill to write a script that navigates to the feature, interacts with it, and verifies the outcome, capturing screenshots along the way.

Quick Start

Run python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py to start your web app and run your test script.
