LambdaTest SmartUI Playwright Sample

This project demonstrates how to use playwright and LambdaTest together to run automated tests on the LambdaTest platform.

Setup

First, clone this repository to your local machine.

git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/smartui-playwright-sample.git
cd smartui-playwright-sample

Next, install the necessary dependencies:

npm i

You'll need to set your LambdaTest username and access key as environment variables. They can be found on your LambdaTest profile.

export LT_USERNAME="Your LambdaTest Username"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="Your LambdaTest Access Key"

About the Test

The test navigates to the LambdaTest homepage and checks the page title. After the title check, it will take a full-page screenshot for visual regression testing.

About SmartUI Webhook

LambdaTest's SmartUI uses a webhook to call the smartui.takeScreenshot function. This function captures a screenshot of the full page and uses it for visual regression testing. The function is called using the page.evaluate method with the lambdatest_action parameter.

Here's an example of how to use the smartui.takeScreenshot function:

await page.evaluate((_) => {},
    `lambdatest_action: ${JSON.stringify({ action: 'smartui.takeScreenshot', arguments: { fullPage: true, screenshotName: '<Your_Screenshot_Name>' }
    })}`)

Replace <Your Screenshot Name> with a relevant name for the screenshot. The screenshot will be saved with this name in the LambdaTest platform, and you can use it for comparing the UI changes over time.

Running Tests

To run the test, execute:

node playwright-smartui.js
