Title: Playwright
Post by: Dave T. on February 10, 2025, 07:01:40 am
Hey All,

We have started to use the Playwright testing framework (typescript) for our automated tests (Genero/GBC).

I'm new at automated testing:
  - My biggest light bulb moment was when I realised we need to use xpath to search for the data-aui-name.
  - My biggest annoyance is getting around browser speed issues.

Is anyone else out there using playwright and would like to share any helpful hints or comments?

Cheers

Dave

Hello Dave
The GBC team is using Testcafé which is very similar to playwright AFAIK ... We develop our own test API to access to access aui-name and other stuffs in GBC. One of our plan is to provide this API and our test framework in a coming GBC release. Is it something you would appreciate ? Would you be ready to move from playwright to testcafé ? Do not hesitate to contact you support to organize a discussion about that.
