Overview

Playwright is a modern end-to-end testing framework that provides cross-browser automation with a built-in test runner, auto-wait mechanisms, and excellent developer experience.

Key Features

  • Auto-wait: Automatically waits for elements to be ready
  • Cross-browser: Chromium, Firefox, WebKit support
  • Built-in runner: Parallel execution, retries, reporters
  • Network control: Mock and intercept network requests
  • Debugging: UI mode, trace viewer, inspector

Fundamentals

Basic Test Structure

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

test('basic test', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://example.com');

  // Wait for element and check visibility
  const title = page.locator('h1');
  await expect(title).toBeVisible();
  await expect(title).toHaveText('Example Domain');

  // Get page title
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Example/);
});

test.describe('User authentication', () => {
  test('should login successfully', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');
    await page.fill('[name="username"]', 'testuser');
    await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'password123');
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard');
    await expect(page.locator('.welcome-message')).toContainText('Welcome');
  });

  test('should show error for invalid credentials', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/login');
    await page.fill('[name="username"]', 'invalid');
    await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'wrong');
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    await expect(page.locator('.error-message')).toBeVisible();
    await expect(page.locator('.error-message')).toHaveText('Invalid credentials');
  });
});

Test Hooks

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

test.describe('Dashboard tests', () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    // Run before each test
    await page.goto('/dashboard');
    await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
  });

  test.afterEach(async ({ page }) => {
    // Cleanup after each test
    await page.close();
  });

  test.beforeAll(async ({ browser }) => {
    // Run once before all tests in describe block
    console.log('Starting test suite');
  });

  test.afterAll(async ({ browser }) => {
    // Run once after all tests
    console.log('Test suite complete');
  });

  test('displays user data', async ({ page }) => {
    await expect(page.locator('.user-name')).toBeVisible();
  });
});

Locator Strategies

Best Practice: Role-based Locators

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

test('accessible locators', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/form');

  // By role (BEST - accessible and stable)
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
  await page.getByRole('checkbox', { name: 'Subscribe' }).check();
  await page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Learn more' }).click();

  // By label (good for forms)
  await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret123');

  // By placeholder
  await page.getByPlaceholder('Search...').fill('query');

  // By text
  await page.getByText('Welcome back').click();
  await page.getByText(/hello/i).isVisible();

  // By test ID (good for dynamic content)
  await page.getByTestId('user-profile').click();

  // By title
  await page.getByTitle('Close dialog').click();

  // By alt text (images)
  await page.getByAltText('User avatar').click();
});

CSS and XPath Locators

test('CSS and XPath locators', async ({ page }) => {
  // CSS selectors
  await page.locator('button.primary').click();
  await page.locator('#user-menu').click();
  await page.locator('[data-testid="submit-btn"]').click();
  await page.locator('div.card:first-child').click();

  // XPath (use sparingly)
  await page.locator('xpath=//button[contains(text(), "Submit")]').click();

  // Chaining locators
  const form = page.locator('form#login-form');
  await form.locator('input[name="email"]').fill('user@example.com');
  await form.locator('button[type="submit"]').click();

  // Filter locators
  await page.getByRole('listitem')
    .filter({ hasText: 'Product 1' })
    .getByRole('button', { name: 'Add to cart' })
    .click();
});

Page Object Model

Page Class Pattern

// pages/LoginPage.ts
import { Page, Locator } from '@playwright/test';

export class LoginPage {
  readonly page: Page;
  readonly usernameInput: Locator;
  readonly passwordInput: Locator;
  readonly submitButton: Locator;
  readonly errorMessage: Locator;

  constructor(page: Page) {
    this.page = page;
    this.usernameInput = page.getByLabel('Username');
    this.passwordInput = page.getByLabel('Password');
    this.submitButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Log in' });
    this.errorMessage = page.locator('.error-message');
  }

  async goto() {
    await this.page.goto('/login');
  }

  async login(username: string, password: string) {
    await this.usernameInput.fill(username);
    await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
    await this.submitButton.click();
  }

  async expectErrorMessage(message: string) {
    await this.errorMessage.waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
    await expect(this.errorMessage).toHaveText(message);
  }
}

// pages/DashboardPage.ts
export class DashboardPage {
  readonly page: Page;
  readonly welcomeMessage: Locator;
  readonly logoutButton: Locator;

  constructor(page: Page) {
    this.page = page;
    this.welcomeMessage = page.locator('.welcome-message');
    this.logoutButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Logout' });
  }

  async waitForLoad() {
    await this.welcomeMessage.waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
  }

  async logout() {
    await this.logoutButton.click();
  }
}

// tests/auth.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
import { LoginPage } from '../pages/LoginPage';
import { DashboardPage } from '../pages/DashboardPage';

test('successful login flow', async ({ page }) => {
  const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
  const dashboard = new DashboardPage(page);

  await loginPage.goto();
  await loginPage.login('testuser', 'password123');

  await dashboard.waitForLoad();
  await expect(dashboard.welcomeMessage).toContainText('Welcome');
});

Component Pattern

// components/NavigationComponent.ts
import { Page, Locator } from '@playwright/test';

export class NavigationComponent {
  readonly page: Page;
  readonly homeLink: Locator;
  readonly profileLink: Locator;
  readonly searchInput: Locator;

  constructor(page: Page) {
    this.page = page;
    const nav = page.locator('nav');
    this.homeLink = nav.getByRole('link', { name: 'Home' });
    this.profileLink = nav.getByRole('link', { name: 'Profile' });
    this.searchInput = nav.getByPlaceholder('Search...');
  }

  async navigateToProfile() {
    await this.profileLink.click();
  }

  async search(query: string) {
    await this.searchInput.fill(query);
    await this.searchInput.press('Enter');
  }
}

User Interactions

Form Interactions

test('form interactions', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/form');

  // Text inputs
  await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'user@example.com');
  await page.type('textarea[name="message"]', 'Hello', { delay: 100 });

  // Checkboxes
  await page.check('input[type="checkbox"][name="subscribe"]');
  await page.uncheck('input[type="checkbox"][name="spam"]');

  // Radio buttons
  await page.check('input[type="radio"][value="option1"]');

  // Select dropdowns
  await page.selectOption('select[name="country"]', 'US');
  await page.selectOption('select[name="color"]', { label: 'Blue' });
  await page.selectOption('select[name="size"]', { value: 'large' });

  // Multi-select
  await page.selectOption('select[multiple]', ['value1', 'value2']);

  // File uploads
  await page.setInputFiles('input[type="file"]', 'path/to/file.pdf');
  await page.setInputFiles('input[type="file"]', [
    'file1.jpg',
    'file2.jpg'
  ]);

  // Clear file input
  await page.setInputFiles('input[type="file"]', []);
});

Mouse and Keyboard

test('mouse and keyboard interactions', async ({ page }) => {
  // Click variations
  await page.click('button');
  await page.dblclick('button'); // Double click
  await page.click('button', { button: 'right' }); // Right click
  await page.click('button', { modifiers: ['Shift'] }); // Shift+click

  // Hover
  await page.hover('.tooltip-trigger');
  await expect(page.locator('.tooltip')).toBeVisible();

  // Drag and drop
  await page.dragAndDrop('#draggable', '#droppable');

  // Keyboard
  await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
  await page.keyboard.press('Control+A');
  await page.keyboard.type('Hello World');
  await page.keyboard.down('Shift');
  await page.keyboard.press('ArrowDown');
  await page.keyboard.up('Shift');

  // Focus
  await page.focus('input[name="email"]');
  await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
});

Waiting Strategies

test('waiting strategies', async ({ page }) => {
  // Wait for element
  await page.waitForSelector('.dynamic-content');
  await page.waitForSelector('.modal', { state: 'visible' });
  await page.waitForSelector('.loading', { state: 'hidden' });

  // Wait for load state
  await page.waitForLoadState('load');
  await page.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');
  await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');

  // Wait for URL
  await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
  await page.waitForURL(/\/product\/\d+/);

  // Wait for function
  await page.waitForFunction(() => {
    return document.querySelectorAll('.item').length > 5;
  });

  // Wait for timeout (avoid if possible)
  await page.waitForTimeout(1000);

  // Wait for event
  await page.waitForEvent('load');
  await page.waitForEvent('popup');
});

Assertions

Common Assertions

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

test('assertions', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/dashboard');

  // Visibility
  await expect(page.locator('.header')).toBeVisible();
  await expect(page.locator('.loading')).toBeHidden();
  await expect(page.locator('.optional')).not.toBeVisible();

  // Text content
  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toHaveText('Dashboard');
  await expect(page.locator('h1')).toContainText('Dash');
  await expect(page.locator('.message')).toHaveText(/welcome/i);

  // Attributes
  await expect(page.locator('button')).toBeEnabled();
  await expect(page.locator('button')).toBeDisabled();
  await expect(page.locator('input')).toHaveAttribute('type', 'email');

  // CSS
  await expect(page.locator('.button')).toHaveClass('btn-primary');
  await expect(page.locator('.button')).toHaveClass(/btn-/);
  await expect(page.locator('.element')).toHaveCSS('color', 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');

  await expect(page).toHaveURL('http://localhost:3000/dashboard');
  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/dashboard$/);
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle('Dashboard - My App');
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Dashboard/);

  // Screenshot comparison
  await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('dashboard.png');
  await expect(page.locator('.widget')).toHaveScreenshot('widget.png');
});

Custom Assertions

test('custom matchers', async ({ page }) => {
  // Soft assertions (continue test on failure)
  await expect.soft(page.locator('.title')).toHaveText('Welcome');
  await expect.soft(page.locator('.subtitle')).toBeVisible();

  // Poll assertions
  await expect(async () => {
    const response = await page.request.get('/api/status');
    expect(response.ok()).toBeTruthy();
  }).toPass({
    timeout: 10000,
    intervals: [1000, 2000, 5000],
  });
});

Authentication Patterns

Storage State Pattern

// auth.setup.ts - Run once to save auth state
import { test as setup } from '@playwright/test';

const authFile = 'playwright/.auth/user.json';

setup('authenticate', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/login');
  await page.fill('[name="username"]', 'testuser');
  await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'password123');
  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

  await page.waitForURL('/dashboard');

  // Save authentication state
  await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });
});

// playwright.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'setup',
      testMatch: /.*\.setup\.ts/,
    },
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: {
        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
        storageState: authFile,
      },
      dependencies: ['setup'],
    },
  ],
});

// tests/dashboard.spec.ts - Already authenticated
test('view dashboard', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/dashboard');
  // Already logged in!
  await expect(page.locator('.user-menu')).toBeVisible();
});

Multiple User Roles

// fixtures/auth.ts
import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';

type Fixtures = {
  adminPage: Page;
  userPage: Page;
};

export const test = base.extend<Fixtures>({
  adminPage: async ({ browser }, use) => {
    const context = await browser.newContext({
      storageState: 'playwright/.auth/admin.json',
    });
    const page = await context.newPage();
    await use(page);
    await context.close();
  },

  userPage: async ({ browser }, use) => {
    const context = await browser.newContext({
      storageState: 'playwright/.auth/user.json',
    });
    const page = await context.newPage();
    await use(page);
    await context.close();
  },
});

// tests/permissions.spec.ts
import { test } from '../fixtures/auth';

test('admin can access admin panel', async ({ adminPage }) => {
  await adminPage.goto('/admin');
  await expect(adminPage.locator('.admin-panel')).toBeVisible();
});

test('regular user cannot access admin panel', async ({ userPage }) => {
  await userPage.goto('/admin');
  await expect(userPage.locator('.access-denied')).toBeVisible();
});

Network Control

Request Mocking

test('mock API responses', async ({ page }) => {
  // Mock API response
  await page.route('**/api/users', route => {
    route.fulfill({
      status: 200,
      contentType: 'application/json',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        users: [
          { id: 1, name: 'John Doe' },
          { id: 2, name: 'Jane Smith' },
        ],
      }),
    });
  });

  await page.goto('/users');
  await expect(page.locator('.user-list')).toContainText('John Doe');
});

test('mock with conditions', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('**/api/**', route => {
    const url = route.request().url();

    if (url.includes('/users/1')) {
      route.fulfill({
        status: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify({ id: 1, name: 'Test User' }),
      });
    } else if (url.includes('/users')) {
      route.fulfill({
        status: 200,
        body: JSON.stringify({ users: [] }),
      });
    } else {
      route.continue();
    }
  });
});

test('simulate network errors', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('**/api/data', route => {
    route.abort('failed');
  });

  await page.goto('/data');
  await expect(page.locator('.error-message')).toBeVisible();
});

Request Interception

test('intercept and modify requests', async ({ page }) => {
  // Modify request headers
  await page.route('**/api/**', route => {
    const headers = route.request().headers();
    route.continue({
      headers: {
        ...headers,
        'X-Custom-Header': 'test-value',
      },
    });
  });

  // Modify POST data
  await page.route('**/api/submit', route => {
    const postData = route.request().postDataJSON();
    route.continue({
      postData: JSON.stringify({
        ...postData,
        timestamp: Date.now(),
      }),
    });
  });
});

test('wait for API response', async ({ page }) => {
  // Wait for specific request
  const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse('**/api/users');
  await page.click('button#load-users');
  const response = await responsePromise;

  expect(response.status()).toBe(200);
  const data = await response.json();
  expect(data.users).toHaveLength(10);
});

test.describe('order matters', () => {
  let orderId: string;

  test('create order', async ({ page }) => {
    // Create order

Debugging

UI Mode

# Interactive debugging
npx playwright test --ui

# Debug specific test
npx playwright test --debug login.spec.ts

# Step through test
npx playwright test --headed --slow-mo=1000

Trace Viewer

// Generate trace
test('with trace', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.context().tracing.start({ screenshots: true, snapshots: true });

  // Test actions
  await page.goto('/');

  await page.context().tracing.stop({ path: 'trace.zip' });
});

// View: npx playwright show-trace trace.zip

Console Logs

test('capture console', async ({ page }) => {
  page.on('console', msg => console.log(`Browser: ${msg.text()}`));
  page.on('pageerror', error => console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`));

  await page.goto('/');
});

Best Practices

1. Use Stable Locators

// ✅ Good - Role-based, stable
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@example.com');

// ❌ Bad - Fragile, implementation-dependent
await page.click('button.btn-primary.submit-btn');
await page.fill('div > form > input:nth-child(3)');

2. Leverage Auto-Waiting

// ✅ Good - Auto-waits
await page.click('button');
await expect(page.locator('.result')).toBeVisible();

// ❌ Bad - Manual waits
await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
await page.click('button');

3. Use Page Object Model

// ✅ Good - Reusable, maintainable
const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
await loginPage.login('user', 'pass');

// ❌ Bad - Duplicated selectors
await page.fill('[name="username"]', 'user');
await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'pass');

4. Parallel-Safe Tests

// ✅ Good - Isolated
test('user signup', async ({ page }) => {
  const uniqueEmail = `user-${Date.now()}@test.com`;
  await signUp(page, uniqueEmail);
});

// ❌ Bad - Shared state
test('user signup', async ({ page }) => {
  await signUp(page, 'test@test.com'); // Conflicts in parallel
});

5. Handle Flakiness

// ✅ Good - Wait for network idle
await page.goto('/', { waitUntil: 'networkidle' });
await expect(page.locator('.data')).toBeVisible();

// Configure retries
test.describe(() => {
  test.use({ retries: 2 });

  test('flaky test', async ({ page }) => {
    // Test with auto-retry
  });
});

Common Patterns

Multi-Page Scenarios

test('popup handling', async ({ page, context }) => {
  // Listen for new page
  const popupPromise = context.waitForEvent('page');
  await page.click('a[target="_blank"]');
  const popup = await popupPromise;

  await popup.waitForLoadState();
  await expect(popup).toHaveTitle('New Window');
  await popup.close();
});

Conditional Logic

test('handle optional elements', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/');

  // Close modal if present
  const modal = page.locator('.modal');
  if (await modal.isVisible()) {
    await page.click('.modal .close-button');
  }

  // Or use count
  const cookieBanner = page.locator('.cookie-banner');
  if ((await cookieBanner.count()) > 0) {
    await page.click('.accept-cookies');
  }
});

Data-Driven Tests

const testCases = [
  { input: 'hello', expected: 'HELLO' },
  { input: 'World', expected: 'WORLD' },
  { input: '123', expected: '123' },
];

for (const { input, expected } of testCases) {
  test(`transforms "${input}" to "${expected}"`, async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/transform');
    await page.fill('input', input);
    await page.click('button');
    await expect(page.locator('.result')).toHaveText(expected);
  });
}
