Playwright Web Testing

Playwright is a framework for automated web application testing developed by Microsoft. It is an alternative to Selenium or Cypress for automated web application testing.

By design, Playwright tests can only be used with Chromium-based browsers (i.e Chrome and Edge) when executed against an external selenium service, such as webmate.

Starting a Playwright Test

To execute Playwright tests on your webmate infrastructure, set two environment variables.

export SELENIUM_REMOTE_URL="https://selenium.webmate.io/wd/hub" 
export SELENIUM_REMOTE_CAPABILITIES='{ "browserName": "chrome","platformName": "WINDOWS_11_64", "browserVersion": "126", "wm:apikey": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=", "wm:project": "7c4f09fd-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx"}'

After setting these variables, you can execute your Playwright tests as usual.
