Web Application Testing

\n

To test local web applications, write native Python Playwright scripts.

\n

Helper Scripts Available:

\n\n

Always run scripts with --help first to see usage. DO NOT read the source until you try running the script first and find that a customized solution is abslutely necessary. These scripts can be very large and thus pollute your context window. They exist to be called directly as black-box scripts rather than ingested into your context window.

\n

Decision Tree: Choosing Your Approach

\n
User task → Is it static HTML?\n    ├─ Yes → Read HTML file directly to identify selectors\n    │         ├─ Success → Write Playwright script using selectors\n    │         └─ Fails/Incomplete → Treat as dynamic (below)\n    │\n    └─ No (dynamic webapp) → Is the server already running?\n        ├─ No → Run: python scripts/with_server.py --help\n        │        Then use the helper + write simplified Playwright script\n        │\n        └─ Yes → Reconnaissance-then-action:\n            1. Navigate and wait for networkidle\n            2. Take screenshot or inspect DOM\n            3. Identify selectors from rendered state\n            4. Execute actions with discovered selectors\n
\n

Example: Using with_server.py

\n

To start a server, run --help first, then use the helper:

\n

Single server:

\n
python scripts/with_server.py --server \"npm run dev\" --port 5173 -- python your_automation.py\n
\n

Multiple servers (e.g., backend + frontend):

\n
python scripts/with_server.py \\\n  --server \"cd backend && python server.py\" --port 3000 \\\n  --server \"cd frontend && npm run dev\" --port 5173 \\\n  -- python your_automation.py\n
\n

To create an automation script, include only Playwright logic (servers are managed automatically):

\n
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright\n\nwith sync_playwright() as p:\n    browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True) # Always launch chromium in headless mode\n    page = browser.new_page()\n    page.goto('http://localhost:5173') # Server already running and ready\n    page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle') # CRITICAL: Wait for JS to execute\n    # ... your automation logic\n    browser.close()\n
\n

Reconnaissance-Then-Action Pattern

\n
    \n

  1. Inspect rendered DOM:

    \n
    page.screenshot(path='/tmp/inspect.png', full_page=True)\ncontent = page.content()\npage.locator('button').all()\n
    \n
    2. \n

  2. Identify selectors from inspection results

    \n
    3. \n

  3. Execute actions using discovered selectors

    \n
    4. \n
\n

Common Pitfall

\n

❌ Don't inspect the DOM before waiting for networkidle on dynamic apps\n✅ Do wait for page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle') before inspection
