Timeout

 

How Timeout Values Are Applied

  1. Global Timeout in Config: The timeout value in playwright.config.ts sets a default timeout for all expect assertions if no specific timeout is provided in the test script.

  2. Local Timeout in Tests: If a specific timeout is provided in a test script, it overrides the global timeout for that particular step or assertion.

Determining the Actual Timeout

  • Global Timeout Only: If you only set the global timeout in the playwright.config.ts file, the timeout for each expect assertion will be the global timeout value (e.g., 5000 milliseconds in the example).
  • Local Timeout Only: If you set a timeout for a specific step in your test script, that value will be used for that particular step (e.g., 10000 milliseconds in the example).
  • Both Global and Local Timeout: When both global and local timeouts are set, the local timeout takes precedence for the specific step or assertion. The global timeout will apply to other steps or assertions without a specific timeout.

Mock server

 Using a mock server in end-to-end (E2E) testing is indeed common, and it can be used for more than just reading values. Mock servers simulate the behavior of real servers and can handle various HTTP methods, including POST , PUT , DELETE , and PATCH , in addition to GET . This means you can use a mock server to simulate interactions that involve writing data, such as filling out and submitting forms. Automating Form Interactions with Mock Servers Simulating Form Submissions : Mock servers can be set up to handle form submissions. When you submit a form in your E2E test, the mock server can capture the request and respond with a predefined response. Validating Data : You can use the mock server to validate the data sent by your application. The mock server can check if the request body matches the expected format and values. Response Handling : After submitting a form, your application typically processes the server's response. The mock server can provide specific responses to test...

Browser Context

 In the context of Playwright, understanding how pages and browser contexts work is crucial for managing test isolation and ensuring reliable test execution. Here’s an explanation: Browser Context in Playwright Definition : A browser context in Playwright is akin to a new browser profile. Each browser context provides a separate environment where cookies, local storage, and other session data are isolated from other contexts. Isolation Between Tests : When you run tests using Playwright, each test typically operates within its own browser context. This means that: Fresh Environment : Every test starts with a clean slate, ensuring that any changes made by one test (such as cookies or session data) do not affect subsequent tests. Consistent State : Tests are independent of each other in terms of state, which helps in avoiding interference between different test cases. Page Isolation : Within each browser context, individual pages (created using page objects in Playwright) are also i...
