Demo: Automated Tests with Playwright + @cyborgtests/test (wit)

Choose one of the options below to get started. Both options provide full access to test editing and creation capabilities.

Option 1: Open in Gitpod

Pros:

• No local setup required

How to start:

1. Click the "Open in Gitpod" button above
2. Login or sign up using your
3. Gitpod will automatically:
   • Clone the repository
   • Install dependencies
   • Install Chromium
   • Start the development server
4. You'll be ready to test in under 2 minutes!

---

Option 2: Local Development Setup

Pros:

• Offline development
• Does not require gitpod authorization

---

1) Prerequisites

If something is missing, see Section 6: Installing Tools

• Git (any recent version)
• Node.js LTS (recommended 18.x or 20.x) + npm
• Playwright browsers (will install with a command below)
• (Optional) VS Code with Playwright Test for VSCode and ESLint extensions.

Check installations:

node -v
npm -v
git --version

---

2) Clone the demo repository

HTTPS

git clone https://github.com/CyborgTests/demo-playwright-manual-step-automation.git
cd demo-playwright-manual-step-automation

or SSH (if keys are set up)

git clone git@github.com:CyborgTests/demo-playwright-manual-step-automation.git
cd demo-playwright-manual-step-automation

---

3) Install dependencies

npm install
npx playwright install --with-deps

---

4) Quick start: run tests

Run all tests in headless mode:

npx playwright test

Run in UI Mode:

npx playwright test --ui

Run a specific file/test/project:

# by file path
npx playwright test tests/example.spec.ts

# by test name pattern
npx playwright test -g "login"

# for a specific project from playwright.config (chromium / firefox / webkit)
npx playwright test --project=chromium

Run in headed mode:

npx playwright test --headed

In VS Code: open project folder → Testing tab → click Run Tests or use Playwright panel.

---

5) Adding new tests

From a template

1. Create a new file in tests/, e.g. tests/login.spec.ts.
2. Add basic template:

import cyborgTest from "@cyborgtests/test";
import { expect } from "@playwright/test";

cyborgTest(
  "Login should be successful",
  async ({ page, manualStep }) => {
    await page.goto('https://example.com/login');
    await page.fill('#email', 'user@example.com');
    await page.fill('#password', 'secret');
    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');

    await expect(page.getByText('Welcome')).toBeVisible();

    // Example of a manual check step
    await manualStep('Ensure logo is visible and aligned');
  }
);

3. Run the test: npx playwright test tests/login.spec.ts --headed or via UI Mode.

6) Installing tools (if missing)

6.1 Git

• Windows: install Git for Windows.

• macOS: xcode-select --install or via Homebrew: brew install git.

• Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git

6.2 Node.js + npm

• Windows/macOS: use nvm or official installer from nodejs.org.

• macOS (Homebrew):

  brew install node

• Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
  curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
  sudo apt install -y nodejs

Check: node -v && npm -v

6.3 Playwright browsers

npx playwright install
# or for Linux with system dependencies
npx playwright install --with-deps

(Optional) VS Code: download from official site, add Playwright and ESLint extensions.

---

7) Common issues

• "command not found: git / node / npm" — install from section 6, restart terminal.
• Playwright cannot find browsers — run npx playwright install.
• Permission errors on Linux — use sudo for system deps or nvm for Node.
• Incompatible Node version — switch to LTS (18/20) via nvm.
• Tests can’t find selectors — improve locators, use await expect(...).toBeVisible().
• Private package not found — check .npmrc/registry token.
