Prerequisite

• nodejs: Download and install Node JS from

  https://nodejs.org/en/download

• Visual Studio Code/Aqua/IntelliJ: Download and install code editor

Installation

• clone the repo using below URL

  https://github.com/abhaybharti/playwright-framework-template.git

• Navigate to folder and install npm packages using:

  npm install

• For first time installation use below command to download required browsers:

  npx playwright install

• In case you want to do fresh setup of playwright

  • Create a folder & run command npm init playwright@latest
  • select TypeScript & select default for other options

Usage

• For browser configuration, change required parameters in playwright.config.ts
• To run your suite on MS Azure, copy the below code in azure-pipeline.yml and playwright.service.config.ts to root folder, update following key & run your suite
  • PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL=XXX

How to generate Playwright code (Playwright Test Generator)

• run command npx playwright codegen
• Browser gets opened & navigate to web app & perform test actions

Playwright test generator generates tests and pick locator for you. It uses role,text and test ID locators.

To pick a locator, run the codegen command followed by URL, npx playwright codegen https://opensource-demo.orangehrmlive.com/web/index.php/auth/login

Writing Tests

• Create test files in src/tests folder

Sample Test

Unit/Integration Testing

Sample Web Test

Note: Refer to sample-web-test

Pls go through different \*.ts file, which has tests example for different purpose.

Locator Example

Note: Refer to sample-web-test

Sample Web Load Test

Sample Api Test

Note: Refer to sample-api-test

Pls go through different \*.ts files, which has tests example for different api tests.

Sample API Load Test

Sample Mobile Test

Run Test

To Run Web Test

• npx playwright test (name-of-file.spec.ts) --headed to run test in ui mode
• npx playwright test (name-of-file.spec.ts) --headed --config=playwright.config.chrome.ts to run test in ui mode on chrome browser
• npx playwright test (name-of-file.spec.ts) --headed --config=playwright.config.firefox.ts to run test in ui mode on firefox browser
• npx playwright test (name-of-file.spec.ts) --headed --config=playwright.config.edge.ts to run test in ui mode on edge browser

To Run Api Test

To Run Mobile Test

To Run Test Multiple Times in Parallel

npx playwright test --workers=5 --headed --repeat-each=5

• This will run test 5 times, at a time 5 instance will run. --workers=5 will run 5 instances

To Run Test Multiple Times in Sequence

npx playwright test --workers=1 --headed --repeat-each=5

• This will run test 5 times, at a time single instance will run, --repeat-each=5 will run 5 times

To Run Load Test using Artillery & PlayWright Suite

artillery run artillery-script.yml --output report.json

Grouping and Organizing Test Suite in PlayWright

npx playwright test --grep @smoke This will run only test tagged as @smoke

Debug And Analyze

View Trace Result of PlayWright Execution

• Open https://trace.playwright.dev
• Upload trace.zip file to above site, it will show trace details

Run test in debug mode

npx playwright test UIBasictest.spec.js --debug

This will start running script in debug mode & open PlayWright inspector

How to generate load test report using artillery + Playwright

artillery report report.json --output report.html

Run & Generate Report

GitHub Actions - created workflow to run test
