Playwright API Testing with pytest Framework

This project uses Playwright with Pytest-BDD for automated API testing. It supports structured execution, fixtures, markers, parallel testing, and generates reports for further investigation.

🚀 Getting Started

Required Packages

Install all dependencies:

pip install pytest
pip install pytest-playwright
pip install pytest-xdist
playwright install

To generate requirements.txt with all installed dependencies, use:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

This command will create a requirements.txt file with all the necessary packages.

💻 Running Tests

Basic Commands

Action	Command
Run all tests	pytest -s
Run a specific file	pytest tests/test_login.py
Run by test method name	pytest -k "partial_method_name"
Run tests with marker (e.g., smoke)	pytest -m smoke -v
Run in headed mode (for UI, if needed)	pytest tests/test_file.py::test_case --headed
Run tests in parallel	pytest -n 4

🏷️ Pytest Markers

Markers help organize and filter tests.

Common Markers:

@pytest.mark.skip  # Skip a test.
@pytest.mark.smoke  # Tag a test as part of smoke suite.
@pytest.mark.regression  # Tag a test as part of regression suite.

Run with:

pytest -m smoke -v

🔄 Parallel Test Execution

To speed up test execution using multiple CPUs:

pytest -n 4

Make sure pytest-xdist is installed.
