Run First Test in Playwright Python

In this article, we will run our first test using playwright Python.

1. Once you have Playwright installed, you can create a new Python file and import the necessary modules:

from Playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

2. Next, you can use the Playwright API to launch a new browser and create a new page:

with sync_playwright() as p:
   browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
   page = browser.new_page()

3. Example

page.goto('https://www.programsbuzz.com/user/login')
   page.locator('#edit-name').type('Luffy')
   page.locator('#edit-pass').type('Gum-Gum')
   page.locator('(//*[@id="edit-submit"])[2]').click()
   errorText = page.locator("(//h2[@class='visually-hidden'])[2]").text_content()
   print(errorText)

• Here we navigated to the user login page.
• Using the type command, we fill in the username and password.
• With the click method, we then click on the login button.
• Using text_content(), we then get the error message and print it.
