SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates testing of local web applications using Playwright to verify frontend behavior and ensure UI quality during development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Playwright-driven end-to-end testing for local web apps
  • Supports server orchestration via scripts/with_server.py
  • Captures screenshots and logs for UI debugging

Quick Start

Install Python and Playwright, then create a simple test script that navigates to your local app (for example http://localhost:5173) and asserts a UI element. If you are serving locally, start your server with the helper script: python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py. Run your automation with: python your_automation.py

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate testing for my local web application?

Automate web app testing using Playwright to programmatically navigate pages, interact with UI elements, and verify behavior. Install Playwright, write a test script that targets your local server (e.g., http://localhost:5173), and run assertions on page state, screenshots, and console logs.

Can I use Playwright to test both static and dynamic pages during development?

Yes. Playwright supports testing dynamic and static pages in development environments. It handles UI interactions, captures screenshots for visual debugging, and inspects console and network logs to verify frontend behavior comprehensively.

How do I start a local server and run Playwright tests together?

Use the helper script with_server.py to orchestrate server startup and test execution. Run: python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py. This manages the server lifecycle alongside your test suite.

What do I need to set up before using Playwright for web app testing?

Install Python and the Playwright library. Set up a local development server for your web app. Optionally use helper scripts to automate server management. Load test instructions from SKILL.md to structure your automation workflow.

Can Playwright capture screenshots and logs while testing my web app?

Yes. Playwright captures screenshots for UI debugging and inspects browser console and network logs during test execution. This enables visual verification and detailed troubleshooting of frontend behavior.
