auth.setup.ts
in @playwright/testThe auth.setup.ts
file is used to perform authentication steps and store the resulting state for your tests. This allows you to authenticate once and reuse the stored state in multiple tests, making your test suite more efficient.
Here's a brief overview of how it works:
auth.setup.ts
with your own actions. For instance, navigate to your login page, fill out the username and password fields, and click the "Sign in" button.await page.goto('https://ray.run/login');
await page.fill('input[name="username"]', 'your-username');
await page.fill('input[name="password"]', 'your-password');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
page.context().storageState({ path: authFile })
. This method takes an optional argument specifying where to store the state, such as 'playwright/.auth/user.json'
.const authFile = 'playwright/.auth/user.json';
await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });
storageState
for the test or test suite. This allows you to reuse the authenticated state across multiple tests.import { test } from '@playwright/test';
test.use({
storageState: 'playwright/.auth/user.json',
});
test('authenticated test example', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://ray.run/dashboard');
// Your test logic here
});
Remember, you can specify different storageState
for each test or test suite if you need to test multiple roles or scenarios.
By using auth.setup.ts
and the stored state, you can efficiently manage authentication in your @playwright/test suite.
