Playwright Schedule Tests

This project uses GitHub Actions to automate browser tests using Playwright on a scheduled basis. The tests are designed to ensure the reliability and performance of both web and API endpoints.

Overview

The GitHub Actions workflow defined in playwright.yml is triggered by a cron schedule to run tests daily at 14:00 UTC. It includes jobs for testing web interfaces and API endpoints in an isolated, consistent environment.

Features

• Scheduled Testing: Automated tests run daily to ensure ongoing reliability.
• Docker Integration: Uses Docker to manage dependencies and ensure a consistent testing environment.
• Playwright for Browser and API Testing: Leverages Playwright for end-to-end testing of web and backend applications.

Getting Started

To get started with this project, you'll need to have Docker and Node.js installed on your system. The tests are run in a GitHub Actions workflow, which requires no additional setup for GitHub repositories.

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Node.js (version 18 is specified in the workflow)

Running Tests Locally

To run the tests locally, follow these steps:

1. Install Dependencies and start app and database: Execute de followed command inside apps/api

   npm install
   
   npm run db:init
   
   npm start   

2. Install Dependencies and start web application:Execute de followed command inside apps/web

   npm install
   
   npm start 

3. Install Playwright Browsers:Execute de followed command inside root project

   npx playwright install

4. Execute tests:

   npx playwright test

Workflow Details

The GitHub Actions workflow consists of two main jobs:

• test-web: This job runs Playwright tests for the web interface.
• test-api: Intended for API testing (setup to be completed).

The app system wasn't developed by me. I used a project that I saw in a course on Udemy taught by QAx as a base.
