Run First Test in Playwright Java

To run your first test in Playwright Java, you can follow these steps:

1.) First, you must set up your Java environment and install Playwright Java. You can follow the installation guide provided in the Playwright Java documentation.
2.) Create a new Java project in your preferred IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
3.) In your project, create a new Java class and import the necessary Playwright Java libraries:

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

4.) Create a main method and initialize a new Playwright instance

Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()

5.) Use the playwright instance to create a new browser context and a new page:

Browser browser = playwright.chromium().launch();
BrowserContext context = browser.newContext();
Page page = context.newPage();

6.) Use page to naviagte to urls

page.navigate("https://www.programsbuzz.com");

7.) Finally, close the browser and playwright instances.

context.close();
browser.close();
playwright.close();

8.) Example

• Let us put it all together and run our first code.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
            Browser browser = playwright.chromium().launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false));
            Page page = browser.newPage();
            page.navigate("http://www.programsbuzz.com/user/login");
            page.locator("#edit-name").type("Naruto");
            page.locator("#edit-pass").type("uzumaki");
            browser.close();
            playwright.close();
        }
    }
}

• We have initiated a new launch option and set headless, which will show us automating the browser visually.
• Then it types in the username and password field of the page.
• Then closes the browser and playwright.
