Playwright Crash Course with PyTest

In this video Andrew shows how you can write tests using Playwight with Pytest. It will get you started with everything you need to know to get up and running with Playwright using PyTest. Topics covered include basic setup creating a new test project, how to locate items with selectors, how playwright handles delays, adding text to inputs, all the actions playwright does automatically for you that you don't need to code around and some more specialized test cases.

This video assumes Python is already installed. It does not cover Python basics. The samples should be easily readable even if you do not know how to code. They can also be easily transferred to JavaScript, Java or C# because Playwright currently is supported by those bindings.

Looks like the option `--headful` has been replaced by `--headed` in the v0.1.0 release on 2021/04/01

Thanks for creating playwright videos using with python

[marklane]

Really good demo. The more I see and use playwright the more I like

ok.... following step-by-step, getting "collected 0 items, no test ran in..." - although these test is running, the browser is being opened etc.. - even after adding '_test' in the file name. Googled everything, but can't find any solution. It happens in both VSCode and PyCharm. Any ideas?

Which are the prerequisits for playwright-python installation beacuse I am not able to install it

[jatto_abdul]

Thanks for this. How do you approach testing pages that require authentication without necessarily logging in before_each test. I want to know if we can share page/browser context in a real application using playwright.

[qaone]
