Overview
This toolkit enables testing local web applications using Playwright with Python for frontend verification, UI debugging, screenshot capture, and browser automation.
Quick Start
# Install dependencies
pip install playwright pytest requests
playwright install chromium
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=True) page = browser.new_page() page.goto("http://localhost:3000")
# Take screenshot
page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
# Get page content
content = page.content()
print(content)
browser.close()
## When to Use
- Verifying frontend functionality after code changes
- Debugging UI behavior and layout issues
- Capturing screenshots for documentation
- Viewing browser console logs for errors
- Automating repetitive web interactions
- End-to-end testing of web applications
- Validating form submissions and user flows
