[FEATURE] Move from Cypress to Playwright

[eddiejaoude]

Description

Currently the tests are written in Cypress with Cucumber, however these need to be moved to Playwright (similar to the Finder project)

http://playwright.dev

Warning this is for the nextjs branch

Note You don't need to do all the tests, different people can do individual tests in a new PR

Hey Eddie 🙋🏻‍♂️ is no one is on this issue, I would be happy to do it.

I've been meaning to play around with Playwright, and this seems like a good opportunity.

Thanks and cool project 👍🏻

[eddiejaoude]

Hi Peter, sure sounds great 👍

Btw I can't assign it to you as you are not part of the EddieHub Org, steps to getting started are in our GitHub Org

[petercr]

Eddie,

Okay I went and joined the EddieHub so I should be good to go with the Org and the assignment 👍🏻

I'll go ahead and start planning this one out.

Thanks

Thanks @petercr , please create the issue for the test you will do, and we can assign that to you - this issue is an epic and won't be assigned as it is too big and will be broken down into smaller issues

[petercr]

Thanks Eddie 🙌🏻 yeah this does seem like it might be a little big for just one issue/PR.

Then I'd have to think of if you wanted me to squash the 18 commits in that PR... 😂

I will just open an issue for a specific test and make a PR for that issue 👍🏻

[petercr]

Eddie,

It looks like there is an implementation of Cucumber and Playwright together already on GitHub && NPM. Link to the cucumber-playwright repo

There is the possibility that we could port all of the existing cypress tests written in cucumber and just switch out cypress for playwright. Instead of re-writing all the tests.

Is that something you would be interested in, or would you rather go the route of re-writing the tests from scratch? Either way works 👍

Thanks

[eddiejaoude]

Thanks Peter for doing that research. The community were not keen on Cucumber, so we decided to rewrite using vanilla Playwrght

[petercr]

Awesome 👍🏻 cucumber looks great... but if you are used to writing tests in JS/TS it does seems like an extra step.

If you can write the tests, you probably should write the tests 😂

Thanks for all the info 🙌🏻

I am going to close this epic, there are still more tests to be written though
