Laravel Playwright - Start testing with Playwright quickly image

The Laravel Playwright package provides the boilerplate needed to begin testing your Laravel applications with Playwright quickly. This package will help you get all the necessary files installed, provides Laravel-specific helpers needed for testing, and gives you an example spec to demonstrate how to write end-to-end tests with Playwright:

test('Can create a new user and log them in', async ({ page }) => {
const user1 = await login({ page })
expect(user1.name).toBeDefined()
const user2 = await login({ page, attributes: { email: 'yoann@web-id.fr' } })
expect(user2.name).toEqual('Yoann')
const user3 = await login({
page,
attributes: { email: 'new@user.fr', name: 'New user' },
})
expect(user3.email).toEqual('new@user.fr')
})

Depending on which Node package manager you are using in you project, you'll need to install Playwright using the npm init command:

# NPM
npm init playwright@latest
 
# Yarn
yarn create playwright
 
# PNPM
pnpm create playwright

Main Features

  • Simplified Setup: Automates the configuration process of setting up Playwright
  • Boilerplate Generation: Provides an Artisan command to generate initial test setup and example specifications.
  • Composer Integration: Installs easily as a development dependency via Composer, streamlining the setup process.
  • Pre-configured Example Test: Includes a sample test to demonstrate usage

You can install this package via Composer using the following command:

composer require web-id/laravel-playwright --dev

Note: at the time of writing this package does not have any releases tagged. You'll have to change your "minimum-stability": "dev". You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.
