Summary of the Playwright Framework Creation Using GitHub Copilot Agent
Objective: Create a Playwright framework without using the terminal, entirely through GitHub Copilot’s agent mode.
Prerequisites:
- Install Visual Studio Code Insider for up-to-date features.
- Create a project folder (e.g., named
playride BDD).- Prepare a prompt for GitHub Copilot to generate the framework (e.g., request a Playwright framework with page object model).
- Ensure GitHub Copilot is set up by signing into your account in Visual Studio Code.
Creating the Framework:
- Use GitHub Copilot’s agent mode to paste the prompt and build the framework seamlessly.
- Let the agent handle project initialization and installation of Playwright libraries.
- The agent creates the folder structure (e.g.,
feature,node_modules,pages).- Adjust project settings in
package.jsonand add necessary BDD dependencies.- Run initial tests and allow the agent to troubleshoot and fix any errors automatically.
Executing Tests:
- Configure tests to open and verify the title of Google.
- Enable video recording and screenshots during test runs to capture results.
- Execute tests in headless and non-headless modes, troubleshooting failures as directed by the agent.
Final Steps:
- Create a GitHub repository to host the code. The agent can automatically add
.gitignoreandREADME.mdfiles.- Push the completed code to the repository, letting the agent handle all Git commands, including commit and push operations.
- Ensure all files are updated properly in the GitHub repo, responding to any prompts from the agent.
Conclusion: The entire framework creation process took around 15 minutes, highlighting the efficiency gains when using GitHub Copilot’s agent mode for building and pushing frameworks without manual intervention. The user emphasizes the importance of understanding the framework fundamentals to guide Copilot’s actions effectively.
