Welcome to the world of Playwright! It's a powerful tool for testing web applications, and it's easier to get started than you might think.
Before diving into Playwright, you'll need a basic understanding of JavaScript and Node.js. If you're not familiar with these, don't worry. There are plenty of online resources to help you get up to speed.
Once you're comfortable with JavaScript and Node.js, it's time to install Playwright. You can do this using npm, the Node.js package manager. Just open your terminal and run the following command:
npm i -D @playwright/test
After installing Playwright, you can start writing tests using the @playwright/test
library. This library provides a simple API for interacting with web pages. Here's a basic example:
import { test } from '@playwright/test';
test('basic test', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
const title = await page.title();
console.log(title);
});
As you get more comfortable with Playwright, you might want to explore some of its more advanced features. For example, @playwright/test
also supports testing React components.
Remember, learning Playwright is a journey. Take your time, practice, and don't be afraid to ask questions. Happy testing!
If you still have questions, please ask a question and I will try to answer it.
