svelte-starter-kit VS Playwright

I started adding Typescript to my project. I found Svelte-Starter-Kit is useful.

You can check how it's done in Svelte Starter Kit

I love Supabase, and maintain a SvelteKit + Supabase Open-Source Starter Kit, but between Supabase and Headless CMS, for this use case, I'd definitely recommend a Headless CMS. Any headless CMS(including WordPress) you prefer.

If you want to use the load function on the server, you'd be required to maintain the JWT token in a cookie, access it on the server in an API route/endpoint, and then you'll have to make calls to those API endpoints in the load function to check a user's credentials. Something like Svelte Starter Kit's Profile Page.

Playwright documentation

Every test case is executed only once which reduces test runtime significantly. It follows the DRY principle allowing for easier test maintenance. Separation minimizes the number of test code adjustments when the code in your app changes. This is valid for both, hand-written tests in Playwright or Cypress and autogenerated tests by Octomind.

Fix the error in the Playwright test "get started link". TimeoutError: locator.click: Timeout 1000ms exceeded. Call log: - waiting for getByRole('button', { name: 'Get started' }) Code snippet of the failing test: test('get started link', async ({ page }) => { await page.goto('https://playwright.dev'); await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Get started' }).click(); await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Installation' })).toBeVisible(); }); ARIA snapshot of the page: - document: - region "Skip to main content": - link "Skip to main content" - navigation "Main": - link "Playwright logo Playwright": - img "Playwright logo" - text: Playwright ...

With this in mind, I experimented to compare the test execution speed of two of today’s most popular modern test automation frameworks: Cypress and Playwright.

You don't have to write your own using beautifulsoup. There are test frameworks like https://www.cypress.io/ and https://playwright.dev/ that work great there.

While Cypress shines in front-end testing with its developer-friendly API, Playwright excels in cross-browser testing with a single API. Therefore, you should choose based on your specific needs: Cypress for frontend-heavy apps, Playwright for cross-browser consistency, or Selenium for wide language and browser support.

Let's end Cypress vs Playwright , it will be obvious outcome once your requirements are clear

We're not skimping on testing. Here's the trifecta: Vitest is faster than Jest and works with ES modules out of the box. React Testing Library is still great for component testing, helping you catch accessibility issues and test like a user would. For end-to-end testing, Playwright is awesome, handling multiple browsers, visual testing, network stuff, and mobile device emulation without the flaky tests.

Playwright is an open-source automation library for browser testing and web scraping. It allows developers to automate browser tasks in Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API, enabling the creation of reliable end-to-end tests that can run in both non-headless and headless modes.

In this post, I'll walk you through why Playwright and Cucumber are exceptional tools for end-to-end (E2E) testing. We'll then dive into the steps for integrating Playwright for seamless usage in a JavaScript frontend application. Finally, I'll share some pro tips to maximize your efficiency with Playwright.
