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.
