- ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
- - ❌ Using `page.waitForTimeout(3000)` for synchronization -> ✅ Use `page.waitForSelector()`, `expect(locator).toBeVisible()`, or auto-waiting locators
12
- - ❌ Using CSS selectors or XPath for test locators -> ✅ Use `getByRole()`, `getByLabel()`, `getByTestId()` for resilient selectors
13
- - Running tests without `--workers=1` in CI debug mode -> ✅ Parallel tests with shared state cause flaky failures; isolate tests properly
14
- - ❌ Not using `test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })` when tests have ordering dependencies -> ✅ Explicitly mark serial when needed

- # Playwright E2E — Bulletproof Testing Mastery
20
-
21
- ---
22
-
23
- ## 1. Resilience & Auto-Waiting
24
-
25
- Playwright automatically waits for elements to be actionable (visible, stable, not obscured).
26
-
27
- ```typescript
28
- // FLAKY: Hardcoded sleeps. Fails on slow CI, wastes time on fast local rings.
29
- await page.waitForTimeout(3000);
30
-
31
- // ❌ FLAKY: CSS selectors tied to layout/styling changes
32
- await page.locator('.btn-primary > span').click();
33
-
34
- // ROBUST: Playwright auto-waits for actionability based on user-centric selectors
35
- await page.getByRole('button', { name: "Submit Checkout" }).click();
36
-
37
- // ✅ ROBUST: Testing for expected states
38
- await expect(page.getByText('Order confirmed')).toBeVisible();
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### The Selector Hierarchy (Best to Worst)
42
- 1. `page.getByRole()` — Checks accessibility simultaneously.
43
- 2. `page.getByText()` — Finds elements by raw text values.
44
- 3. `page.getByTestId()` Resilient to text/translation updates (`data-testid`).
45
- 4. `page.locator('css')` — Brittle, bound to DOM structures. Use only as last resort.
46
-
47
- ---
48
-
49
- ## 2. Test Isolation & Fixtures
50
-
51
- Do not cascade tests (where Test B requires Test A to pass first). Playwright gives every test a blank browser context isolated from the rest.
52
-
53
- ```typescript
54
- import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
55
-
56
- // ❌ BAD: Cascading state
57
- test.describe('Dashboard', () => {
58
- test('Login', async ({ page }) => {
59
- await login(page); // Next test assumes this succeeded
60
- });
61
- test('Action', async ({ page }) => {
62
- await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
63
- });
64
- });
65
-
66
- // ✅ GOOD: Isolated tests via beforeEach or Custom Fixtures
67
- test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
68
- // Login directly via API to bypass slow UI login, seeding cookies
69
- await performFastApiLogin(page);
70
- await page.goto('/dashboard');
71
- });
72
-
73
- test('Should save settings', async ({ page }) => {
74
- await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
75
- await expect(page.getByRole('alert')).toHaveText('Saved successfully');
76
- });
77
- ```
78
-
79
- ---
80
-
81
- ## 3. Network Mocking
82
-
83
- E2E tests that rely on external 3rd party APIs (Stripe, SendGrid) will fail randomly due to network latency outside your control.
84
-
85
- ```typescript
86
- test('Should block invalid credit cards', async ({ page }) => {
87
- // Intercept the outgoing request to the payment processor
88
- await page.route('**/api/v1/charge*', async route => {
89
- // Return a mocked failure response immediately
90
- const json = { status: 'declined', message: 'Insufficient funds' };
91
- await route.fulfill({ status: 400, json });
92
- });
93
-
94
- await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Purchase' }).click();
95
- await expect(page.getByText('Insufficient funds')).toBeVisible();
96
- });
97
- ```
98
-
99
- ---
100
-
101
- ## 4. Configuration for CI/CD
102
-
103
- ```typescript
104
- // playwright.config.ts
105
- import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
106
-
107
- export default defineConfig({
108
- testDir: './tests/e2e',
109
- fullyParallel: true, // Run tests concurrently
110
- forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI, // Fail build if `.only` was left in code
111
- retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0, // Retry flakes on CI only
112
- workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined, // Reduce CI overload
113
- reporter: 'html',
114
-
115
- use: {
116
- trace: 'on-first-retry', // Record trace viewer ONLY on failure to save space
117

+ ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
14
+
15
+ - ❌ Using `page.waitForTimeout(3000)` for synchronization -> ✅ Use `page.waitForSelector()`, `expect(locator).toBeVisible()`, or auto-waiting locators
16
+ - ❌ Using CSS selectors or XPath for test locators -> ✅ Use `getByRole()`, `getByLabel()`, `getByTestId()` for resilient selectors
17
+ - ❌ Running tests without `--workers=1` in CI debug mode -> ✅ Parallel tests with shared state cause flaky failures; isolate tests properly
18
+ - ❌ Not using `test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })` when tests have ordering dependencies -> ✅ Explicitly mark serial when needed

23
+
24
+ ---
25
+
26
+ ## 1. Resilience & Auto-Waiting
27
+
28
+ Playwright automatically waits for elements to be actionable (visible, stable, not obscured).
29
+
30
+ ```typescript
31
+ // ❌ FLAKY: Hardcoded sleeps. Fails on slow CI, wastes time on fast local rings.
32
+ await page.waitForTimeout(3000);
33
+
34
+ // FLAKY: CSS selectors tied to layout/styling changes
35
+ await page.locator(".btn-primary > span").click();
36
+
37
+ // ✅ ROBUST: Playwright auto-waits for actionability based on user-centric selectors
38
+ await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Submit Checkout" }).click();
39
+
40
+ // ✅ ROBUST: Testing for expected states
41
+ await expect(page.getByText("Order confirmed")).toBeVisible();
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ ### The Selector Hierarchy (Best to Worst)
45
+
46
+ 1. `page.getByRole()` — Checks accessibility simultaneously.
47
+ 2. `page.getByText()` — Finds elements by raw text values.
48
+ 3. `page.getByTestId()` — Resilient to text/translation updates (`data-testid`).
49
+ 4. `page.locator('css')` Brittle, bound to DOM structures. Use only as last resort.
50
+
51
+ ---
52
+
53
+ ## 2. Test Isolation & Fixtures
54
+
55
+ Do not cascade tests (where Test B requires Test A to pass first). Playwright gives every test a blank browser context isolated from the rest.
188
56
 
57
+ ```typescript
58
+ import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
59
+
60
+ // ❌ BAD: Cascading state
61
+ test.describe("Dashboard", () => {
62
+ test("Login", async ({ page }) => {
63
+ await login(page); // Next test assumes this succeeded
64
+ });
65
+ test("Action", async ({ page }) => {
66
+ await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Save" }).click();
67
+ });
68
+ });
69
+
70
+ // ✅ GOOD: Isolated tests via beforeEach or Custom Fixtures
71
+ test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
72
+ // Login directly via API to bypass slow UI login, seeding cookies
73
+ await performFastApiLogin(page);
74
+ await page.goto("/dashboard");
75
+ });
76
+
77
+ test("Should save settings", async ({ page }) => {
78
+ await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Save" }).click();
79
+ await expect(page.getByRole("alert")).toHaveText("Saved successfully");
80
+ });
81
+ ```
82
+
83
+ ---
84
+
85
+ ## 3. Network Mocking
86
+
87
+ E2E tests that rely on external 3rd party APIs (Stripe, SendGrid) will fail randomly due to network latency outside your control.
88
+
89
+ ```typescript
90
+ test("Should block invalid credit cards", async ({ page }) => {
91
+ // Intercept the outgoing request to the payment processor
92
+ await page.route("**/api/v1/charge*", async (route) => {
93
+ // Return a mocked failure response immediately
94
+ const json = { status: "declined", message: "Insufficient funds" };
95
+ await route.fulfill({ status: 400, json });
96
+ });
97
+
98
+ await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Purchase" }).click();
99
+ await expect(page.getByText("Insufficient funds")).toBeVisible();
100
+ });
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ ---
104
+
105
+ ## 4. Configuration for CI/CD
106
+
107
+ ```typescript
108
+ // playwright.config.ts
109
+ import { defineConfig, devices } from "@playwright/test";
110
+
111
+ export default defineConfig({
112

113
+ fullyParallel: true, // Run tests concurrently
114

118

119
