Cypress vs playwright | API testing

[@MichaelAuerswald]

Tip: you can run your commands on macos with `time` in front to get the runtime, rather than wrapping it in dates. so, `time npx cypress run`

Thank you for the Típ! Appreciate it 🙌🏼

I'll change my end to end tool thanks to this video, playwright is killing it

[@Codemify]

My greatest pleasure!

Playwright is more than 2x faster, in my experience. I write a library that includes tests for both Cypress and Playwright (Automated Testing Kit) and Cypress is more difficult to write the same tests. Plus the Cypress team doesn't respond to bugs as quickly or at all. My prediction: Playwright will take over in downloads in two years and will have greater market share in 5 years.

[@Codemify]

I’m fully with you 🙌🏼

[@Q.b.9378]

100% agree. I used cypress initially and told them about issues i had and limitations. They told me I'm doing it wrong. I switched to playwright and haven't had any issues.

Great video, excited to see UI compressing)

[@Codemify]

My pleasure! It's coming soon 🔥

Nice to see someone else pointing out `time` (also works for linux, maybe even gitbash on Windows!?). I have to pick a fault with your apples2apples comparison, you're actually comparing aplles2pineapples... the logging that occurs in the cypress test will skew the results, more so as you're also recording the output! If you get cypress to just print a summary (same as playwright) then at least your comparison is fairer. A little time saver if you do something similar in the future: `echo '[]' > ./my-db.json && npm start & srvrID=$! ; time npx ; kill $srvrID` will allow you to clean/start/run/stop in one go, without interfering with the timing.

[@Codemify]

That's a good one! I'll try it next time I do comparison

[@SeekTheTruthToday]

Hi Codemify, Can you also add Selenium just for the fun of it when you do UI tests. Thanks

[@Codemify]

Sure. It’s a good idea. I’ll record it in a few weeks

[@fantasyfrontier842]

Great video, keep up the good work we like more videos like this👍

[@Codemify]

Thank you, Nassim 🤝

[@mykhailo7134]

printing new line to console 1000 times takes time so comparison is not 100% fair definetly playwright is faster

[@Codemify]

Agreed. Probably 99% fair 🤝

playwright faster!

[@Gabranthh]

Gonna guess playwright to be faster

[@ezzeldienrashad8374]

My guess before watching: Playwright is faster.

[@Codemify]

😁🔝

[@marylandman]

cypress

[@NewYork81983]

This video could have been about 5 minutes lol. TLDR Playwright is faster
