Automated tests on Playwright (Node.js)
Quick start guide to integrate Automated tests in BrowserStack Accessibility Testing with Playwright (Node.js).
Prerequisites
- You have an account with BrowserStack (even a free trial works) and can get your Username and Access Key from Account & Profile.
- You have a pre-existing Playwright test suite integrated with BrowserStack Automate.
- You use the Playwright test runner in your tests. The
testvariable used in writing the tests should be imported from@playwright/test.
Integrate with Automated tests
Follow these steps to get started with adding Automated tests to your test suite:
The minimum version of browserstack-node-sdk that supports Automated tests is 1.31.22.
Install or update to the latest version of BrowserStack Node SDK
Go to your Playwright project’s root directory and run the following commands to update or install the BrowserStack Node SDK and verify the installed version.
Create the browserstack.yml file
If you don’t already have a browserstack.yml file, run the following command to create one:
Set up the browserstack.yml file
Automated tests mandatorily needs the following five configurations in the browserstack.yml file. Especially, ensure to set the accessibility flag as true at the end of the browserstack.yml file.
The projectName and buildName config must be static and not change across different runs of the same build. This is a deviation in approach as specified by BrowserStack Automate since Automated tests will automatically identify different build runs.
Accessibility testing runs only on Desktops (Mac & Windows) with Chrome 100 & above on Automate.
Run your suite with Automated tests
Prepend browserstack-node-sdk to the existing command that you use to trigger an automated build as follows
You can check the Accessibility report for your build through the Automated tests page.
