How do I fix the 'Playwright Test did not expect test() to be called here' error in my test code?

Answer

To fix the "Playwright Test did not expect test() to be called here" error, ensure that your tests are defined within appropriate describe blocks and that each describe block has a unique name. This error usually occurs when there's an issue with test organization in your code.

Here's an example of how to properly structure your tests:

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

test.describe('Login functionality', () => {
  test('Successful login', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
    // Perform login actions and assertions
  });

  test('Failed login', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
    // Perform failed login actions and assertions
  });
});

In this example, we have a describe block named "Login functionality" that groups two related tests: "Successful login" and "Failed login". Make sure that each describe block has a unique name to avoid confusion.

Additionally, follow best practices for writing Playwright tests, such as using web-first assertions like toBeVisible() instead of isVisible(). Configure debugging tools like VS Code extensions and the Playwright inspector for local debugging and CI failures.

By organizing your tests correctly and following best practices, you can resolve the error and ensure smooth test execution. For more tips on writing efficient Playwright test scripts, check out this blog post.
