📊 Playwright with Other Frameworks

🔧 Playwright + Frameworks: Overview

Framework / Tool Use Case Integration Type

Jest Component/unit + E2E testing Custom or third-party

Mocha / Chai Lightweight E2E test syntax Native integration

TestNG / JUnit (Java) Advanced testing in Java projects Playwright Java client

Cucumber BDD (Gherkin-style) E2E testing @cucumber/cucumber

Next.js / React / Angular / Vue Frontend app testing Native + community plugins

CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI) Continuous testing Headless execution + artifacts


🎯 Popular Combinations

🔹 1. Playwright + Jest

Great for React/Vue apps needing a single test framework.


Use jest-playwright preset:


bash

Copy

Edit

npm install --save-dev jest jest-playwright-preset

In jest.config.js:


js

Copy

Edit

module.exports = {

  preset: 'jest-playwright-preset',

  testMatch: ['**/e2e/**/*.spec.js'],

};

✅ Ideal for React-based projects that already use Jest for unit tests.


🔹 2. Playwright + Mocha/Chai

Preferred for more control or BDD-style assertions.


bash

Copy

Edit

npm install --save-dev mocha chai playwright

Example:


js

Copy

Edit

const { chromium } = require('playwright');

const { expect } = require('chai');


describe('Login Test', function () {

  it('should log in successfully', async () => {

    const browser = await chromium.launch();

    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.goto('https://example.com');

    await page.fill('#username', 'user');

    await page.fill('#password', 'pass');

    await page.click('text=Login');

    expect(await page.url()).to.include('/dashboard');

    await browser.close();

  });

});

🔹 3. Playwright + Cucumber

Behavior-driven testing with readable feature files.


bash

Copy

Edit

npm install --save-dev @cucumber/cucumber playwright

Define .feature files


Write step definitions using Playwright


Run tests with cucumber-js


🌟 Works well for QA teams using Gherkin syntax.


🔹 4. Playwright + Next.js / React / Angular

Use Playwright’s built-in @playwright/test runner


Use fixtures to spin up dev servers before testing


Example:


js

Copy

Edit

import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';


test('homepage has title', async ({ page }) => {

  await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');

  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/My App/);

});

🧪 Cross-Browser, Headless & Mobile Testing

Playwright supports:


Chromium, Firefox, WebKit


Headless mode (CI)


Mobile emulation


Example:


js

Copy

Edit

await browser.newContext({

  viewport: { width: 375, height: 812 },

  userAgent: 'Mobile Safari',

});

🚀 Playwright + CI/CD

Use GitHub Actions, GitLab, or Jenkins to run tests in headless mode


Collect screenshots, videos, and traces:


bash

Copy

Edit

npx playwright test --reporter=html

Add these as artifacts in your CI pipeline.

Waits in Playwright: Explicit, Implicit, and Auto

 In Playwright (a powerful end-to-end testing framework), waiting mechanisms help ensure your scripts interact with elements only when they’re ready. Playwright handles waits more intelligently than older tools like Selenium, but understanding the types of waits—Explicit, Implicit, and Auto-waiting—is key for writing reliable tests. 🕰️ Waits in Playwright: Explicit, Implicit, and Auto ✅ 1. Auto-Waiting (Built-in) – Playwright’s Default Behavior What it is: Playwright automatically waits for elements to be actionable before performing actions (like click, type, fill, etc.). This is its most powerful feature. How it works: Waits for the element to be attached to the DOM Waits for the element to be visible Waits for the element to be enabled (not disabled) Waits for stable animation or layout Example: python Copy Edit await page.click('#submit-button') No need for a separate wait — Playwright will wait until the button is ready. Benefits: Reduces the need for manual waits More re...
