A playwright script

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('basic test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
  const title = page.locator('.navbar__inner .navbar__title');
  await expect(title).toHaveText('Playwright');
});

πŸ‘€Can you write a test?

VSCode Extension

Installing...

Final result

Codegen

Magic command πŸͺ„

Challenge

  1. Write a test with Codegen and Playwright for your favorite website.

  2. Take an image or video of your test and tag me on Twitter or Linkedin @luucamay_ #ReactEnTiemposDeChatGPT

Execute your test

npx playwright test

Are all my test passing?

Debug with Playwright Inspector

How did it help me at work?

My playwright script

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('test with screenshot', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://msn.com/en-gb');
  const element = page.locator('#onetrust-banner-sdk');
  await page.screenshot({
    path: `screenshot.png`,
  })
  await expect(element).toBeVisible();
});
