This thread is trying to answer question "Is it possible to run a group of tests based on a description block?"
This is an article I wrote up on my experience with running subset of tests ๐ https://playwrightsolutions.com/run-a-subset-of-tests-with-grep-and-grep-invert-in-package-json/
Related Ask AI answer for "How do I group and run tests based on a specific feature or functionality in @playwright/test?".
Sure, you can group your tests using the test.describe()
command in @playwright/test. This function allows you to declare a group of tests with a specific title and callback function. Any tests added within this callback will belong to the group.
Here's how you can do it:
test.describe('Feature A', () => {
test('Test case 1', async ({ page }) => {
// Test logic for Test case 1
});
test('Test case 2', async ({ page }) => {
// Test logic for Test case 2
});
// Add more test cases...
});
In this example, we've created a description block titled "Feature A". Inside this block, we've added two test cases. You can add as many test cases as you need within the description block.
Grouping your tests based on their descriptions makes it easier to manage and execute specific sets of tests. You can selectively run all the tests within a particular description block by running that specific group. This can be a great way to organize your tests, especially when dealing with larger test suites.
