<APP-NAME>
Installation
pnpm add --dev @mands/nx-playwright
pnpm playwright install --with-deps
Generate e2e test app
Warning If you have an existing e2e test app, please remove it first
pnpm nx generate remove <APP-NAME>-e2e
pnpm nx generate @mands/nx-playwright:project <APP-NAME>-e2e --project <APP-NAME>
Optionally the --includeAxe
flag can be included to generate axe-playwright accessibility tests.
Running tests
pnpm nx e2e <APP-NAME>-e2e
Running accessibility tests
pnpm nx e2e <APP-NAME>-e2e --configuration=axe
Execution Flags
nx-playwright
has some flags that you can utilize at execution time
--browser=BROWSER_TYPE
: allowed browser types beingchromium
,firefox
orwebkit
(or anall
type to execute against all 3 types)--testProject
: playwright project name to run (NOTE: this is--project
option in playwright itself, but it conflicts with nx's option)--config
: configuration file. Defaults toplaywright.config.ts
--format=FORMAT_TYPE
: this allows values such asjson
orhtml
--headed
: launches the browser in non-headless mode--debug
: runs tests in a browser plus another interactive debugger window that you can pause/play tests--packageRunner
: package runner to use for running playwright (npx
,pnpm
, oryarn
), use only when running NX directly, not required when running via package manager (e.g.pnpm nx run your-app-e2e:e2e
)--path
: path to run tests at. Defaults tosrc
--skipServe
: skips the execution of a devServer--timeout=<number>
: adds a timeout for your tests in milliseconds--grep=<RegExp|Array<RegExp>>
: filter to only run tests with a title matching one of the patterns--grepInvert=<RegExp|Array<RegExp>>
: filter to only run tests with a title not matching one of the patterns--ui
: launches the browser in ui mode to explore, run and debug tests (preview)
Note These flags can also be used in
project.json
ornx.json
These flags align with the standard playwright flags, as well as the nx-cypress ones.
Testing this plugin locally
Create a new Nx workspace containing one application. Then run, in the root of this repo:
./local-test.sh -w path/to/workspace -a app-name
⚠️ The flag -C
can optionally be used to reverse any changes made to the workspace during the test run.
However, this is a potentially destructive operation that performs a stash save before the run and
a stash pop at the end of the run.
Example script for testing locally from scratch
git clone [email protected]:marksandspencer/nx-plugins.git
# Create a test workspace and app, and remove the e2e app
pnpm create nx-workspace --name=test-nx --appName=test-app --style=@emotion/styled --preset=next --nxCloud=false --interactive=false
pushd test-nx
pnpm nx generate remove test-app-e2e
git commit -am "Remove test-app-e2e"
popd
# Run the test script
pushd nx-plugins
./local-test.sh -w ../test-nx -a test-app -C
popd
