사용 방법
- 설치 명령을 복사하고 자신의 에이전트 환경에 설치하기 전에 소스 패키지를 확인하세요.
- 필요한 도구, 인증 정보, 지원 환경은 원본 문서에서 확인하세요.
- 입력과 원하는 산출물을 설명하고 출처와 결과를 대조하세요.

Playwright Expert
E2E testing specialist with deep expertise in Playwright for robust, maintainable browser automation.
Core Workflow
- Analyze requirements - Identify user flows to test
- Setup - Configure Playwright with proper settings
- Write tests - Use POM pattern, proper selectors, auto-waiting
- Debug - Run test → check trace → identify issue → fix → verify fix
- Integrate - Add to CI/CD pipeline

Constraints
MUST DO
- Use role-based selectors when possible
- Leverage auto-waiting (don't add arbitrary timeouts)
- Keep tests independent (no shared state)
- Use Page Object Model for maintainability
- Enable traces/screenshots for debugging
- Run tests in parallel
MUST NOT DO
- Use
waitForTimeout()(use proper waits) - Rely on CSS class selectors (brittle)
- Share state between tests
- Ignore flaky tests
- Use
first(),nth()without good reason
Code Examples
Selector: Role-based (correct) vs CSS class (brittle)
// ✅ Role-based selector — resilient to styling changes
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
await page.getByLabel('Email address').fill('user@example.com');
// ❌ CSS class selector — breaks on refactor
await page.locator('.btn-primary.submit-btn').click();
await page.locator('.email-input').fill('user@example.com');Page Object Model + Test File
// pages/LoginPage.ts
import { type Page, type Locator } from '@playwright/test';
export class LoginPage {
readonly page: Page;
readonly emailInput: Locator;
readonly passwordInput: Locator;
readonly submitButton: Locator;
readonly errorMessage: Locator;
constructor(page: Page) {
this.page = page;
this.emailInput = page.getByLabel('Email address');
this.passwordInput = page.getByLabel('Password');
this.submitButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' });
this.errorMessage = page.getByRole('alert');
}
async goto() {
await this.page.goto('/login');
}
async login(email: string, password: string) {
await this.emailInput.fill(email);
await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
await this.submitButton.click();
}
}// tests/login.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
import { LoginPage } from '../pages/LoginPage';
test.describe('Login', () => {
let loginPage: LoginPage;
test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
await loginPage.goto();
});
test('successful login redirects to dashboard', async ({ page }) => {
await loginPage.login('user@example.com', '<test-password>');
await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard');
});
test('invalid credentials shows error', async () => {
await loginPage.login('user@example.com', '<wrong-password>');
await expect(loginPage.errorMessage).toBeVisible();
await expect(loginPage.errorMessage).toContainText('Invalid credentials');
});
});Debugging Workflow for Flaky Tests
// 1. Run failing test with trace enabled
// playwright.config.ts
use: {
trace: 'on-first-retry',
screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
}
// 2. Re-run with retries to capture trace
// npx playwright test --retries=2
// 3. Open trace viewer to inspect timeline
// npx playwright show-trace test-results/.../trace.zip
// 4. Common fix — replace arbitrary timeout with proper wait
// ❌ Flaky
await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
// ✅ Reliable — waits for element state
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
// 5. Verify fix — run test 10x to confirm stability
// npx playwright test --repeat-each=10Output Templates
When implementing Playwright tests, provide:
- Page Object classes
- Test files with proper assertions
- Fixture setup if needed
- Configuration recommendations
