+# Fixtures Composition with mergeTests
+
+## Principle
+
+Combine multiple Playwright fixtures using `mergeTests` to create a unified test object with all capabilities. Build composable test infrastructure by merging playwright-utils fixtures with custom project fixtures.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Using fixtures from multiple sources requires combining them:
+
+- Importing from multiple fixture files is verbose
+- Name conflicts between fixtures
+- Duplicate fixture definitions
+- No clear single test object
+
+Playwright's `mergeTests` provides:
+
+- **Single test object**: All fixtures in one import
+- **Conflict resolution**: Handles name collisions automatically
+- **Composition pattern**: Mix utilities, custom fixtures, third-party fixtures
+- **Type safety**: Full TypeScript support for merged fixtures
+- **Maintainability**: One place to manage all fixtures
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Fixture Merging
+
+**Context**: Combine multiple playwright-utils fixtures into single test object.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+
+// Merge all fixtures
+export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In your tests - import from merged fixtures
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('all utilities available', async ({
+  apiRequest, // From api-request fixture
+  authToken, // From auth fixture
+  recurse, // From recurse fixture
+}) => {
+  // All fixtures available in single test signature
+  const { body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: '/api/protected',
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  await recurse(
+    () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/status/${body.id}` }),
+    (res) => res.body.ready === true,
+  );
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Create one `merged-fixtures.ts` per project
+- Import test object from merged fixtures in all test files
+- All utilities available without multiple imports
+- Type-safe access to all fixtures
+
+### Example 2: Combining with Custom Fixtures
+
+**Context**: Add project-specific fixtures alongside playwright-utils.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/custom-fixtures.ts - Your project fixtures
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { createUser } from './factories/user-factory';
+import { seedDatabase } from './helpers/db-seeder';
+
+export const test = base.extend({
+  // Custom fixture 1: Auto-seeded user
+  testUser: async ({ request }, use) => {
+    const user = await createUser({ role: 'admin' });
+    await seedDatabase('users', [user]);
+    await use(user);
+    // Cleanup happens automatically
+  },
+
+  // Custom fixture 2: Database helpers
+  db: async ({}, use) => {
+    await use({
+      seed: seedDatabase,
+      clear: () => seedDatabase.truncate(),
+    });
+  },
+});
+
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts - Combine everything
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as customFixtures } from './custom-fixtures';
+
+export const test = mergeTests(
+  apiRequestFixture,
+  authFixture,
+  customFixtures, // Your project fixtures
+);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In tests - all fixtures available
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('using mixed fixtures', async ({
+  apiRequest, // playwright-utils
+  authToken, // playwright-utils
+  testUser, // custom
+  db, // custom
+}) => {
+  // Use playwright-utils
+  const { body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: `/api/users/${testUser.id}`,
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  // Use custom fixture
+  await db.clear();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Custom fixtures extend `base` test
+- Merge custom with playwright-utils fixtures
+- All available in one test signature
+- Maintainable separation of concerns
+
+### Example 3: Full Utility Suite Integration
+
+**Context**: Production setup with all core playwright-utils and custom fixtures.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
+import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
+
+// Playwright utils fixtures
+import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+import { test as interceptFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/intercept-network-call/fixtures';
+import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
+import { test as networkRecorderFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-recorder/fixtures';
+
+// Custom project fixtures
+import { test as customFixtures } from './custom-fixtures';
+
+// Merge everything
+export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, interceptFixture, recurseFixture, networkRecorderFixture, customFixtures);
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// In tests
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('full integration', async ({
+  page,
+  context,
+  apiRequest,
+  authToken,
+  interceptNetworkCall,
+  recurse,
+  networkRecorder,
+  testUser, // custom
+}) => {
+  // All utilities + custom fixtures available
+  await networkRecorder.setup(context);
+
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+
+  await page.goto('/users');
+  const { responseJson } = await usersCall;
+
+  expect(responseJson).toContainEqual(expect.objectContaining({ id: testUser.id }));
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- One merged-fixtures.ts for entire project
+- Combine all playwright-utils you use
+- Add custom project fixtures
+- Single import in all test files
+
+### Example 4: Fixture Override Pattern
+
+**Context**: Override default options for specific test files or describes.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+// Override auth options for entire file
+test.use({
+  authOptions: {
+    userIdentifier: 'admin',
+    environment: 'staging',
+  },
+});
+
+test('uses admin on staging', async ({ authToken }) => {
+  // Token is for admin user on staging environment
+});
+
+// Override for specific describe block
+test.describe('manager tests', () => {
+  test.use({
+    authOptions: {
+      userIdentifier: 'manager',
+    },
+  });
+
+  test('manager can access reports', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Uses manager token
+    await page.goto('/reports');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `test.use()` overrides fixture options
+- Can override at file or describe level
+- Options merge with defaults
+- Type-safe overrides
+
+### Example 5: Avoiding Fixture Conflicts
+
+**Context**: Handle name collisions when merging fixtures with same names.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// If two fixtures have same name, last one wins
+import { test as fixture1 } from './fixture1'; // has 'user' fixture
+import { test as fixture2 } from './fixture2'; // also has 'user' fixture
+
+const test = mergeTests(fixture1, fixture2);
+// fixture2's 'user' overrides fixture1's 'user'
+
+// Better: Rename fixtures before merging
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { test as fixture1 } from './fixture1';
+
+const fixture1Renamed = base.extend({
+  user1: fixture1._extend.user, // Rename to avoid conflict
+});
+
+const test = mergeTests(fixture1Renamed, fixture2);
+// Now both 'user1' and 'user' available
+
+// Best: Design fixtures without conflicts
+// - Prefix custom fixtures: 'myAppUser', 'myAppDb'
+// - Playwright-utils uses descriptive names: 'apiRequest', 'authToken'
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Last fixture wins in conflicts
+- Rename fixtures to avoid collisions
+- Design fixtures with unique names
+- Playwright-utils uses descriptive names (no conflicts)
+

+
+## Benefits of Fixture Composition
+
+**Compared to direct imports:**
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Without mergeTests (verbose)
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request';
+import { getAuthToken } from './auth';
+import { createUser } from './factories';
+
+test('verbose', async ({ request }) => {
+  const token = await getAuthToken();
+  const user = await createUser();
+  const response = await apiRequest({ request, method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+  // Manual wiring everywhere
+});
+
+// ✅ With mergeTests (clean)
+import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+
+test('clean', async ({ apiRequest, authToken, testUser }) => {
+  const { body } = await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
+  // All fixtures auto-wired
+});
+```
+
+**Reduction:** ~10 lines per test → ~2 lines

+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**❌ Importing test from multiple fixture files:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
+// Also need auth...
+import { test as authTest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
+// Name conflict! Which test to use?
+```
+
+**✅ Use merged fixtures:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
+// All utilities available, no conflicts
+```
+
+**❌ Merging too many fixtures (kitchen sink):**
+
+```typescript
+// Merging 20+ fixtures makes test signature huge
+const test = mergeTests(...20 different fixtures)
+
+test('my test', async ({ fixture1, fixture2, ..., fixture20 }) => {
+  // Cognitive overload
+})
+```
+
+**✅ Merge only what you actually use:**
+
+```typescript
+// Merge the 4-6 fixtures your project actually needs
+const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture, customFixtures);
+```

+# Intercept Network Call Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Intercept network requests with a single declarative call that returns a Promise. Automatically parse JSON responses, support both spy (observe) and stub (mock) patterns, and use powerful glob pattern matching for URL filtering.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Vanilla Playwright's network interception requires multiple steps:
+
+- `page.route()` to setup, `page.waitForResponse()` to capture
+- Manual JSON parsing
+- Verbose syntax for conditional handling
+- Complex filter predicates
+
+The `interceptNetworkCall` utility provides:
+
+- **Single declarative call**: Setup and wait in one statement
+- **Automatic JSON parsing**: Response pre-parsed, strongly typed
+- **Flexible URL patterns**: Glob matching with picomatch
+- **Spy or stub modes**: Observe real traffic or mock responses
+- **Concise API**: Reduces boilerplate by 60-70%
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Spy on Network (Observe Real Traffic)
+
+**Context**: Capture and inspect real API responses for validation.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/intercept-network-call/fixtures';
+
+test('should spy on users API', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // Setup interception BEFORE navigation
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    url: '**/api/users', // Glob pattern
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  // Wait for response and access parsed data
+  const { responseJson, status } = await usersCall;
+
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+  expect(responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
+  expect(responseJson[0]).toHaveProperty('name');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Intercept before navigation (critical for race-free tests)
+- Returns Promise with `{ responseJson, status, requestBody }`
+- Glob patterns (`**` matches any path segment)
+- JSON automatically parsed
+
+### Example 2: Stub Network (Mock Response)
+
+**Context**: Mock API responses for testing UI behavior without backend.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should stub users API', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const mockUsers = [
+    { id: 1, name: 'Test User 1' },
+    { id: 2, name: 'Test User 2' },
+  ];
+
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    url: '**/api/users',
+    fulfillResponse: {
+      status: 200,
+      body: mockUsers,
+    },
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  await usersCall;
+
+  // UI shows mocked data
+  await expect(page.getByText('Test User 1')).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.getByText('Test User 2')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `fulfillResponse` mocks the API
+- No backend needed
+- Test UI logic in isolation
+- Status code and body fully controllable
+
+### Example 3: Conditional Response Handling
+
+**Context**: Different responses based on request method or parameters.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('conditional mocking', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  await interceptNetworkCall({
+    url: '**/api/data',
+    handler: async (route, request) => {
+      if (request.method() === 'POST') {
+        // Mock POST success
+        await route.fulfill({
+          status: 201,
+          body: JSON.stringify({ id: 'new-id', success: true }),
+        });
+      } else if (request.method() === 'GET') {
+        // Mock GET with data
+        await route.fulfill({
+          status: 200,
+          body: JSON.stringify([{ id: 1, name: 'Item' }]),
+        });
+      } else {
+        // Let other methods through
+        await route.continue();
+      }
+    },
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/data-page');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `handler` function for complex logic
+- Access full `route` and `request` objects
+- Can mock, continue, or abort
+- Flexible for advanced scenarios
+
+### Example 4: Error Simulation
+
+**Context**: Testing error handling in UI when API fails.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('should handle API errors gracefully', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // Simulate 500 error
+  const errorCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    url: '**/api/users',
+    fulfillResponse: {
+      status: 500,
+      body: { error: 'Internal Server Error' },
+    },
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  await errorCall;
+
+  // Verify UI shows error state
+  await expect(page.getByText('Failed to load users')).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.getByTestId('retry-button')).toBeVisible();
+});
+
+// Simulate network timeout
+test('should handle timeout', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  await interceptNetworkCall({
+    url: '**/api/slow',
+    handler: async (route) => {
+      // Never respond - simulates timeout
+      await new Promise(() => {});
+    },
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/slow-page');
+
+  // UI should show timeout error
+  await expect(page.getByText('Request timed out')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Mock error statuses (4xx, 5xx)
+- Test timeout scenarios
+- Validate error UI states
+- No real failures needed
+
+### Example 5: Multiple Intercepts (Order Matters!)
+
+**Context**: Intercepting different endpoints in same test - setup order is critical.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('multiple intercepts', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // ✅ CORRECT: Setup all intercepts BEFORE navigation
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+  const productsCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/products' });
+  const ordersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/orders' });
+
+  // THEN navigate
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  // Wait for all (or specific ones)
+  const [users, products] = await Promise.all([usersCall, productsCall]);
+
+  expect(users.responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
+  expect(products.responseJson).toHaveLength(50);
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Setup all intercepts before triggering actions
+- Use `Promise.all()` to wait for multiple calls
+- Order: intercept → navigate → await
+- Prevents race conditions
+
+## URL Pattern Matching
+
+**Supported glob patterns:**
+
+```typescript
+'**/api/users'; // Any path ending with /api/users
+'/api/users'; // Exact match
+'**/users/*'; // Any users sub-path
+'**/api/{users,products}'; // Either users or products
+'**/api/users?id=*'; // With query params
+```
+
+**Uses picomatch library** - same pattern syntax as Playwright's `page.route()` but cleaner API.
+
+## Comparison with Vanilla Playwright
+
+| Vanilla Playwright                                          | intercept-network-call                                       |
+| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `await page.route('/api/users', route => route.continue())` | `const call = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' })` |
+| `const resp = await page.waitForResponse('/api/users')`     | (Combined in single statement)                               |
+| `const json = await resp.json()`                            | `const { responseJson } = await call`                        |
+| `const status = resp.status()`                              | `const { status } = await call`                              |
+| Complex filter predicates                                   | Simple glob patterns                                         |
+
+**Reduction:** ~5-7 lines → ~2-3 lines per interception

+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**❌ Intercepting after navigation:**
+
+```typescript
+await page.goto('/dashboard'); // Navigation starts
+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // Too late!
+```
+
+**✅ Intercept before navigate:**
+
+```typescript
+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // First
+await page.goto('/dashboard'); // Then navigate
+const { responseJson } = await usersCall; // Then await
+```
+
+**❌ Ignoring the returned Promise:**
+
+```typescript
+interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' }); // Not awaited!
+await page.goto('/dashboard');
+// No deterministic wait - race condition
+```
+
+**✅ Always await the intercept:**
+
+```typescript
+const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+await page.goto('/dashboard');
+await usersCall; // Deterministic wait
+```
