To create a multi-step test with Playwright, use the test.step()
API. This helps you break down complex tests into smaller, more organized steps. First, import test
and expect
from the @playwright/test
package.
Now, call the test.step()
function within your test function. Each step takes two arguments: a title and an async function containing the step's code. Here's an example:
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('my multi-step test', async ({ page }) => {
await test.step('step 1', async () => {
// code for step 1
});
await test.step('step 2', async () => {
// code for step 2
});
await test.step('step 3', async () => {
// code for step 3
});
});
This test has three steps, each with its own title and asynchronous code. When running tests with Playwright's built-in reporters, information about each step will be included in the output.
Keep in mind that if a step fails, subsequent steps won't be executed. This prevents wasting time on unnecessary steps if a part of your multi-step test fails.
Using multi-step tests makes your end-to-end testing more organized and manageable by breaking down complex tests into smaller pieces.
