Automated UI testing in .NET using Playwright and Specflow

This video was sponsored by SpecFlow

Hello everybody I'm Nick and in this video I will show you how you can start writing elegant automatic ui test in C# and .NET using Specflow as a base for them. Playwright is a framework created by Microsoft and it enables reliable end-to-end testing for modern web apps. It has some really cool features built into it that I will talk about in this video.

A video just on playwright would be great!

Playwright looks great, thanks Nick. Love the wait until available instead of wait a few seconds and see if it's ready approach I've seen implemented with selenium

[GaryJohnWalker]

A direct Playwright vs Selenium comparison would also be appreciated

[euSupinho]

Awesome. I have all seen people integrating spec flow with selenium.. but u came up with playwright integration.. liked it

[priyanghanagarajan]

Hii Nick, Playwright video is extremely good. Can you make an exclusive video list for Playwright with C# in VS?

[frityz]

I am using integrated playwright with Specflow currently and despite the initial pain to set it up works like a charm. I need to watch your video though, maybe it will inspire me to redo some of the code base

[lumsden]

Is the code in a repo anywhere to have an explore. I would love to expand in this into how you test with multiple browsers using specflow and playwright

[BernhardHofmann]

Your content and pace are spot on Nick! I saw you turned off the headless mode after debugging. I've found it useful to see the test run when things don't work, or at least the first time, to make sure it's doing what I planned. It's sometimes quicker/easier than debugging.

I would love a dedicated playwright movie :) & thx for all the other ones!

A great Playwright video would be where you use a macro tool of some sort to record the web page workflow, then use Playwright to validate it.

What if you use playwright to test an application that is on deprecated system etc on a windows 7 os that is being transmitted through rdp using guacamole.

App > OS > RDP to guacamole > Playwright

Is this possible ? 🤔

My blazor app doesnt start when running the tests - what im a doing wrong? When i use powershell and "dotnet run" before it works.

Very good UI automation demonstration video. Who masters, programs live. Congratulations!

For how long playwright will wait for element if it even not supposed to appear? If it is configurable, it looks like implicit wait in Selenium. What is the difference?

[andreaskarz]

Ou yess, can't wait for a video about Playwright, please

[siswaabadi]

I thing you should make a playlist or a paid course about using SpecFlow. Even better if you add playwright in them

[tofu]

Amazing video, thanks
btw I'm a bit late about that but I love your new setup (chair facing left and green screen)

[tejalali]

Hi, I want full course from scratch to rail time project. Have you this course

[raviteja-qkbr]

Hi Nick, i want full course specflow and C# page object with playwright

[antonmartyniuk]

Very nice video. I see that Playwright is really better than Selenium. Please make a seperate video for playwright
