Python Playwright pytest Suite

Build Python UI and API tests with Playwright and pytest. Inspect an existing suite before changing its fixtures. Copy the bundled starter for a new suite.

Prerequisites: Python 3.10+ and Playwright. From the starter directory:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt python -m playwright install chromium python run_tests.py

The demo needs no external account. Real suites must set SUPER_ADMIN_EMAIL and SUPER_ADMIN_PASSWORD and must not commit passwords or .auth files.

Authentication: log in once per worker and reuse Playwright storage_state. auth_state_path signs in through the UI, checks the post-login URL, and writes .auth/super_admin_.json. Load that file from browser_context_args so screenshots, video, and traces still attach. Use login_through_ui only for tests of the login form.

Cleanup: register each created resource with track immediately. Teardown runs after failures, deletes in reverse order, and includes the pytest-xdist worker id. Name shared data with resource_name, for example role-gw0-a1b2c3.

Local servers: set APP_START_CMD and BASE_URL (or HEALTHCHECK_URL). run_tests.py starts the process, waits until it responds, runs pytest, and returns pytest's exit code after stopping the process tree.

Reports: pytest-html writes reports/report.html. Browser failures keep screenshots, video, and traces under reports/failures/.

Also covers worker isolation for pytest -n, WCAG 2.1 AA scans, end-to-end anti-patterns, CI, and Python visual regression. Source: https://github.com/MKJaswanth/playwright-pytest-qa-skill
