Playwright Pro

Production-grade Playwright testing toolkit for AI coding agents.

Available Commands

When installed as a Claude Code plugin, these are available as /pw: commands:

| Command | What it does | |---|---| | /pw:init | Set up Playwright — detects framework, generates config, CI, first test | | /pw:generate | Generate tests from user story, URL, or component | | /pw:review | Review tests for anti-patterns and coverage gaps | | /pw:fix | Diagnose and fix failing or flaky tests | | /pw:migrate | Migrate from Cypress or Selenium to Playwright | | /pw:coverage | Analyze what's tested vs. what's missing | | /pw:testrail | Sync with TestRail — read cases, push results | | /pw:browserstack | Run on BrowserStack, pull cross-browser reports | | /pw:report | Generate test report in your preferred format |

Quick Start Workflow

The recommended sequence for most projects:

1. /pw:init          → scaffolds config, CI pipeline, and a first smoke test
2. /pw:generate      → generates tests from your spec or URL
3. /pw:review        → validates quality and flags anti-patterns      ← always run after generate
4. /pw:fix     → diagnoses and repairs any failing/flaky tests  ← run when CI turns red

Validation checkpoints:

After /pw:generate — always run /pw:review before committing; it catches locator anti-patterns and missing assertions automatically.

After /pw:fix — re-run the full suite locally (npx playwright test) to confirm the fix doesn't introduce regressions.

After /pw:migrate — run /pw:coverage to confirm parity with the old suite before decommissioning Cypress/Selenium tests.

Example: Generate → Review → Fix

# 1. Generate tests from a user story
/pw:generate "As a user I can log in with email and password"
Generated: tests/auth/login.spec.ts
→ Playwright Pro creates the file using the auth template.
2. Review the generated tests
/pw:review tests/auth/login.spec.ts
→ Flags: one test used page.locator('input[type=password]') — suggests getByLabel('Password')
→ Fix applied automatically.
3. Run locally to confirm
npx playwright test tests/auth/login.spec.ts --headed
4. If a test is flaky in CI, diagnose it
/pw:fix tests/auth/login.spec.ts
→ Identifies missing web-first assertion; replaces waitForTimeout(2000) with expect(locator).toBeVisible()

Golden Rules

1. getByRole() over CSS/XPath — resilient to markup changes 2. Never page.waitForTimeout() — use web-first assertions 3. expect(locator) auto-retries; expect(await locator.textContent()) does not 4. Isolate every test — no shared state between tests 5. baseURL in config — zero hardcoded URLs 6. Retries: 2 in CI, 0 locally 7. Traces: 'on-first-retry' — rich debugging without slowdown 8. Fixtures over globals — test.extend() for shared state 9. One behavior per test — multiple related assertions are fine 10. Mock external services only — never mock your own app

Locator Priority

1. getByRole()        — buttons, links, headings, form elements
2. getByLabel()       — form fields with labels
3. getByText()        — non-interactive text
4. getByPlaceholder() — inputs with placeholder
5. getByTestId()      — when no semantic option exists
6. page.locator()     — CSS/XPath as last resort
