Run BDD tests with Playwright runner
Tip
🔥 Check out what's new in Playwright-BDD v8
With AI, you can bring the BDD approach to the next level:
- 🤖 Generate: Drop business requirements to AI chat and get structured, human-readable features.
- ✅ Validate: Refine the generated scenarios with AI or colleagues, collaborate in plain text instead of code.
- 🛠 Automate: Use existing steps to run the tests and prevent codebase growth.
Both Playwright and CucumberJS have their own test runners. You can use the CucumberJS runner with Playwright as a library to execute BDD scenarios. This package offers an alternative: convert BDD scenarios into test files and run them directly with Playwright. You gain all the advantages of the Playwright runner:
- Automatic browser initialization and cleanup
- Auto-capture of screenshots, videos, and traces
- Parallelization with sharding
- Auto-waiting for page elements
- Built-in visual comparison testing
- Power of Playwright fixtures
- ...and more
Playwright-BDD extends Playwright with BDD capabilities, offering:
- 🔥 Advanced tagging by path and special tags
- 🎩 Step decorators for class methods
- 🎯 Scoped step definitions
- ✨ Exporting steps for AI
- ♻️ Re-usable step functions
