Tutorial: End-to-End Testing with Playwright by Andrew Knight

Everybody gets frustrated when web apps are broken, but testing them thoroughly doesn't need to be a chore. Playwright, a new open-source browser automation tool from Microsoft, makes testing web apps fun! Playwright outperforms other tools like Selenium WebDriver with a slew of nifty features like automatic waiting, mobile emulation, and network interception. Plus, with isolated browser contexts, Playwright tests can set up much faster than traditional Web UI tests.
In this tutorial, we will build a Python test automation project from the ground up. We will automate web search engine tests together step-by-step using Playwright for interactions and pytest for execution. We'll also explore Playwright tricks like cross-browser testing, capturing videos, and even running tests in parallel! By the end of this tutorial, you'll be empowered to test modern web apps with modern web test tools. You'll also have an example project to be the foundation for your future tests.
#PWC2022 attracted nearly 375 attendees from 36 countries and 21 time zones making it the biggest and best year yet. The highly engaging format featured 90 speakers, 6 tracks (including 80 talks and 4 tutorials) and took place virtually on March 21-25, 2022 on LoudSwarm by Six Feet Up.

from playwright.sync_api import Page is not working for me. I follow your steps and also have a mac

[@KorBov-uq9hz]

Hi! Looks like the API code isnt working (at least for me) because they've removed the ability to add a classic project. I created a GitHub account after this change apparently so didn't already have one (therefore couldnt create a new one). Not super python strong, but the code is erroring because it can't find the index (I assume because the code is no longer matching Git). Any suggestions?

why you used page object here , while you usually promoting screenplay?

[@liviugeorge9103]

that's why one does not do tutorials on pages that can change in time. duckduck changed. no more id for search, tutorial go down before beggining.

[@liviugeorge9103]

at 1:07:40 the bs hit the fan. no way to see what is there, no explanation of why, how he is concatenating two conditions in search.

[@sandihidayat2043]

52:13 page.locator('id=search_form_input_homepage').fill('panda'). if run using chrome or firefox browser it doesn't work but using webkit it works. finnaly i use page.get_by_placeholder('Search the web without being tracked').fill('panda')
