UI tests with non-interactive user account a.k.a. service account?
sqe1111posted in #help-playwright
Open in DiscordI will run some UI tests but facing issues with which user account to use for authorize/authentication. Playwright can run in headless mode so would this be the same flow using a non-interactive user account a.k.a. service account? A service account can only run in headless (non-interactive mode), it cannot run in headed mode.
Steps I want to follow:
- write the playwright tests to run in headless mode
- use the service account credentials to login (to the UI in headless mode) with username and password
- run the remaining tests in headless mode which will fill out some forms in the UI and submit
Is this do-able? Will this work?
This thread is trying to answer question "Can UI tests be run in headless mode using a service account with Playwright?"
