- Source now lives at `src/test`. - Former folio tests live at `tests/playwright-test`. - We use `src/test/internal.ts` that exposes base test without Playwright fixtures for most tests (to avoid modifications for now). - Test types live in `types/testFoo.d.ts`. - Stable test runner is installed to `tests/config/test-runner` during `npm install`. - All deps including test-only are now listed in `package.json`. Non-test deps must also be listed in `build_package.js` to get included.
Managing and Publishing Playwright Packages
Overview
- Playwright ships multiple packages to NPM. All packages that are published to NPM are listed as folders under
//packages/. - Playwright's root package.json is never published to NPM. It is only used for devmode, e.g. when running
npm installwith no arguments or installing from github. - Playwright dependencies for all packages are the same and are managed with the
root package.json. - Playwright browser versions for all packages are the same and are managed with the
browsers.json.
Note
As of May 20, 2020, the only exception is the
playwright-electronpackage that doesn't follow the pack and is published manually. This is due to it's pre-1.0 status.
Building NPM package
To build a package that will be shipped to NPM, use //packages/build_package.js script.
The script populates package folder with contents, and then uses npm pack to archive the folder.
As of May 20, 2020, //packages/build_package.js does the following:
- copies certain files and folders from
playwright-internalto the subpackage (e.g.//lib,//types,//LICENSEetc) - generates
package.jsonand puts it in the subpackage - generates
browsers.jsonand puts it in the subpackage - uses
npm packto pack the subpackage folder - removes all the files that were added during the process
To build playwright package and save result as ./playwright.tgz file:
./packages/build_package.js playwright ./playwright.tgz
To debug what files are put into the folder, use --no-cleanup flag and inspect the package folder:
./packages/build_package.js playwright ./playwright.tgz --no-cleanup
ls ./packages/playwright # inspect the folder
Testing packages
To test packages, use //packages/installation-tests/installation-tests.sh.
Publishing packages
All package publishing happens exclusively over CI/CD using the //utils/publish_all_packages.sh script.
