Features

• Test data usage of json file for data driven, builder pattern with faker library and custom data factory templates
• Attach video and screen shot on failure to build in playwright html report
• Playwright storage state and usage of global setup for one time login
• Environment json file to run test easily in QA or Dev environments (Note: This is an example as we do not have a Dev env)
• Usage of fixtures for cleaner page object model
• Supports serial and Parallel execution
• Easily add more test for testing restful apis

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Nodejs: Download and install nodejs from here
• Visual Studio Code: Download and install VS Code from here

Execution in local

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [email protected]:abidkhan4357/TypescriptPlaywrightDemoFramework.git

2. Navigate to root project directory and install the following

   • Install npm packages using

   npm install
   

   • If this is your first time with nodejs playwright framework you will need to download the required browsers

   npx playwright install
   

3. In root project directory to execute below command to run all UI and API testS

   npx playwright test
   

   • If you need to run api or ui tests only

   API:

   npm run test:api
   

   UI:

   • If you want to run on a specific firefox or webkit you can run the following command. By default project will run on chromium

   Firefox:

   BROWSER=firefox npm run test:ui
   

   Webkit:

   BROWSER=webkit npm run test:ui
   

   Note: By default tests will run in headless and in parallel. If you would like to run in UI tests headed mode use --headed flag and/or if you like to disable parallelism use --workers=1 eg: npm playwright test --headed --workers=1

Optional: If you would like to execute tests using IDE and playwright runner. Open VS code and download the extension: Playwright Test for VS Code. You can also enable the NPM SCRIPTS in the the VS Code explorer and can run them like that

4. Run the Docker container

docker run <imagename>

Coming Soon

• Improve of execution using ENV(cross-env) instead of json file
• Usage of alias for cleaner imports
• Set up CI/D tool Jenkins
• Selenium grid support
• SonarQube integration

Github Actions

• The github action workflow file is located in directory .github/workflows file name playwright.yml
• The workflow is triggered on every push to master branch or when a pull request is created
• The workflow consist of two jobs: ui-test and api-test.
