Thank you so much Raghav. Found it useful.
Getting an error though:
Error: "context" and "page" fixtures are not supported in "afterAll" since they are created on a per-test basis.
Help?

[ayseturk]

Hi @raghav, could you make a video please also about integration of cucumber into playwright and jenkins ! Thanks a lot

[kiranmaiisukapalii]

Hi Raghav, Thanks for your help, Please can you release one more video for POM Playwright with a detailed explanation.

[rumpelshtilcken]

Hello Raghav, I want to thank you for your hard work, you're a great teacher, thank you for doing this! I have a question for you: How does your playwright inspector provide comments for each step during recording? Mine just records the step without any comments.

[kshitizsingh]

Thank you for the amazing content Raghav. From what I understand, these hooks can be used in a file and so can the grouping in order to utilise their respective hooks. But what if I need to apply common hooks to more than one file? Is it a possibility? eg. I need to click on accept cookies button everytime a test case executes, can I have a hooks file which caters to the entire test suite?

[PerpetuoBeats]

Thanks for the videos

I have a question acording to use a login like a hook

I've heard about that every test need to be unique and not to depende to another ones, that's correct?

[mikeyjpk_]

Thanks for the great content. I have a question about the afterAll hook. Im currently having an error that reads "Error: "context" and "page" fixtures are not supported in "afterAll"" when i try and run the test. I can't see any difference between our syntax. Any advice is appreciated!

[peterinvestor]

how to do for example I have multiple users with different passwords and I want to test each or how can I put random text into field or select random value from select box so for example when I run test it will select 1st value in dropdown but another run will select 3/5/10 etc so it is kind of random because i need to test if this value is selected in needs to execute test 3 but if this value is selected it needs to execute test number 9?

[sagarikamandal]

Hi Raghav..

Could you please help in understanding the following error message:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'close')

17 |
18 | test.afterAll(async() => {
> 19 | await page.close();

[alpozturk]

First of all, thank you very much Raghav for these informative and useful recordings. I am repeating your tutorials exactly, but even though I run three tests (login, add to card, logout) with the same (npx playwright test --project chromium --headed) code, it runs separately with 3 separate workers (chrome), not one after the other with a single worker like yours. What could be the reason? Do I need a setting in the config file? Thank you in advance. Alparslan

[sirishapochiraju]

Hi Raghav, I have a question. There is a vertical scrolling bar in my test. How would I be able to capture a vertical scrolling bar to get down to the bottom of the page. Thanks
