Implementing Playwright Actions in Your Github Workflow

Getting Started with Playwright and Github

Playwright is a powerful browser automation tool that can be used to test web applications. Here's how to implement Playwright actions in your Github workflow to ensure you are always merging working commits to your main branch:

1. Install Playwright and the required dependencies in your project by running the following command:

2. Write your Playwright tests, using Jest as the test runner. You can define your tests in separate files or combine them into a single file.

3. Configure your Github workflow to run your Playwright tests automatically whenever changes are pushed to your repository.

4. To set up the Github workflow, create a new file called playwright.yml in the .github/workflows directory of your repository.

5. Add the following code to the playwright.yml file:

name: Playwright Actions on: [push, pull_request] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Use Node.js uses: actions/setup-node@v2 with: node-version: '14.x' - name: Install Dependencies run: npm install - name: Run Playwright Tests run: npm test

This code defines a Github workflow that will run your Playwright tests whenever changes are pushed to your repository or a pull request is submitted. The workflow will run on the latest version of Ubuntu and use Node.js version 14.x. It will install your project dependencies and then run your Playwright tests using Jest.

6. Commit the playwright.yml file to your repository and push the changes.

7. Whenever you push changes to your repository or submit a pull request, Github will automatically run your Playwright tests and report the results in the workflow log.

8. If any tests fail, the Github workflow will fail, and you will be notified. You can then review the log to identify the cause of the failure and fix the issue before merging the changes to your main branch.

When to use Playwright and Github:

Playwright and Github are ideal for projects with a large code base, multiple contributors, or complex functionality. By implementing Playwright actions in your Github workflow, you can ensure that all changes are thoroughly tested and validated before they are merged to the main branch, reducing the risk of introducing bugs or breaking existing functionality.
