Playwright Part1

A Python-based test automation framework using Playwright and pytest.

Setup

Create Virtual Environment

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate #For mac/unix users

Install Dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install  # Install browser binaries

Running Tests

Basic Test Execution

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run specific test file
pytest src/tests/test_gap.py

# Run specific test
pytest src/tests/test_gap.py::test_search

# Run with verbose output
pytest -v

# Run in headed mode (see browser)
pytest --headed

# Run with slow motion (1000ms delay between actions)
pytest --headed --slowmo 1000

Generate HTML Report

# Generate HTML report in reports directory
pytest --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html

# With verbose output
pytest -v --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html

# Run specific test with HTML report
pytest src/tests/test_gap.py::test_search -v --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html

Screenshots on Failure

Screenshots are automatically captured when tests fail and saved to the screenshots/ directory.

Filename format: {test_name}_{timestamp}.png

Configuration

pytest.ini

• Default log level: INFO
• Verbose output enabled
• Short tracebacks
• Custom log format with timestamps

conftest.py

• Browser viewport: 1920x1080
• Default expect timeout: 10s (configurable via --expect-timeout)
• Automatic screenshot capture on test failure
• Browser context and page fixtures

Custom Options

# Set custom expect timeout (in milliseconds)
pytest --expect-timeout=15000

Examples

# Run all tests with HTML report
pytest -v --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html

# Run search test in headed mode with report
pytest src/tests/test_gap.py::test_search -v --headed --html=reports/report.html --self-contained-html

# Debug mode: headed + slow motion + verbose
pytest src/tests/test_gap.py::test_search -v --headed --slowmo 1000
