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 Playwright scripts to test web applications.
  • Server Management: Includes a helper script (scripts/with_server.py) to manage the lifecycle of local development servers.
  • Debugging Tools: Supports capturing browser screenshots and viewing console logs for in-depth analysis.
  • Use Case: Automatically test a new feature in your local React development server by writing a Playwright script that navigates to the page, interacts with new UI elements, and asserts that the expected changes occur.

Quick Start

Run python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py to start your local server and run your Playwright automation script.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test a local web application with Playwright?

To test a local web application with Playwright, you write and execute automation scripts that navigate and interact with your UI. This streamlines verifying frontend functionality by automating browser actions against your local development server.

How do I manage my local development server lifecycle during web testing?

You manage your local development server lifecycle during web testing by using a helper script. This script starts your server, runs your Playwright automation, and handles the server lifecycle automatically to ensure your environment is ready for testing.

Can I capture screenshots and console logs when debugging web testing scripts?

Yes, you can capture screenshots and console logs when debugging web testing scripts. The testing toolkit supports capturing browser screenshots and viewing console logs, which provides in-depth analysis for debugging UI behavior during local development.

Do I need Python installed to run Playwright automation scripts for local web testing?

Yes, you need Python installed to run Playwright automation scripts for local web testing. The script execution requires a Python environment with Playwright installed to manage server lifecycles and automate browser interactions.

What's the best way to automatically test new features in a local React development server?

The best way to automatically test new features in a local React development server is writing a Playwright script. The script navigates to the page, interacts with new UI elements, and asserts expected changes while the helper script manages the server.
