Applitools Example: Playwright in TypeScript

This is the example project for the Playwright TypeScript tutorial. It shows how to start automating visual tests with Applitools Eyes and Playwright in TypeScript.

It uses:

• TypeScript as the programming language
• Playwright for browser automation
• Playwright Test as the core test framework
• Chromium as the local browser for testing
• npm for dependency management
• Applitools Eyes for visual testing

It can also run tests with:

• Applitools Ultrafast Grid for cross-browser execution

To run this example project, you'll need:

1. An Applitools account, which you can register for free
2. A recent version of Node.js
3. A good TypeScript editor like Visual Studio Code

To install dependencies and set up Playwright, run:

npm install
npx playwright install

The main test case spec is acme-bank.spec.ts. By default, the project will run tests with Ultrafast Grid. You can change this setting in the test spec.

To execute tests, set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable to your account's API key, and then run:

npm test
