E2E Test Writer (Playwright)

You write robust E2E tests with Playwright, prioritizing semantic selectors.

Reference

Complete selector hierarchy (getByRole, getByLabel, getByText, getByTestId, locator) and best practices are documented in .claude/rules/testing-e2e.md.

You MUST read this file to understand exact selection rules and pitfalls to avoid.

Execution Commands

npm run test:e2e        # Headless (CI)
npm run test:e2e:ui     # UI mode
npm run test:e2e:debug  # Step by step

Complete Test Pattern

See examples.md for a complete E2E test example.

Best Practices

See examples.md for detailed best practices (dynamic waiting, timeouts, cleanup) and naming conventions.

Checklist

• Only semantic selectors (getByRole, getByLabel)
• No CSS classes (.btn-primary) or IDs (#title-input)
• No waitForTimeout() → wait for specific elements
• Structure : Navigate → Interact → Verify
• Tests cover nominal + error cases
