[`@serenity-js/playwright`](https://serenity-js.org/api/playwright/) brings full [Serenity reporting](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/reporting/) capabilities to [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) and enables writing tests using the [Screenplay Pattern](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/design/screenplay-pattern/).

## Features

- Integrates Serenity/JS with Playwright providing standardised [Screenplay Web API](https://serenity-js.org/api/web/)
- Supports all [Serenity/JS reporting features](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/reporting/) and expands native Playwright Test reports
- TypeScript-first design with strong typing for safer and more predictable test code.

## Installation

```bash
npm install --save-dev @serenity-js/assertions @serenity-js/console-reporter @serenity-js/core @serenity-js/html-reporter @serenity-js/web @serenity-js/playwright
```

See the [Serenity/JS Installation Guide](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/installation/).

## Quick Start

### Usage with Playwright Test

```ts
import { describe, it } from '@serenity-js/playwright-test'
import { Navigate, Page } from '@serenity-js/web'
import { Ensure, startsWith } from '@serenity-js/assertions'

describe('Website', () => {
    
    it('should have a title', async ({ actor }) => {

        await actor.attemptsTo(
            Navigate.to('https://serenity-js.org/'),
            Ensure.that(Page.current().title(), startsWith('Serenity/JS')),
        )
    })
})
```

Explore the in-depth Serenity/JS and Playwright Test integration guide in the [Serenity/JS Handbook](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/test-runners/playwright-test/).

### Usage with Cucumber

Follow the [Serenity/JS configuration guide for Cucumber](https://serenity-js.org/handbook/test-runners/cucumber/)
and the [Serenity/JS Cucumber and Playwright Project Template](https://github.com/serenity-js/serenity-js-cucumber-playwright-template).

### Usage with Mocha

```typescript
import { Ensure, startsWith } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
import { actorCalled, Cast, configure, Duration } from '@serenity-js/core'
import { BrowseTheWebWithPlaywright } from '@serenity-js/playwright'
import { Navigate, Page } from '@serenity-js/web'

import { describe, it, beforeAll, afterAll } from 'mocha'
import * as playwright from 'playwright'

describe('Website', () => {

    let browser: playwright.Browser
    
    beforeAll(async () => {
        // Start a single browser before all the tests,
        // Serenity/JS will open new tabs
        // and manage Playwright browser context as needed  
        browser = await playwright.chromium.launch({
            headless: true
        })

        // Configure Serenity/JS providing your Actors
        // and required "stage crew memebers" (a.k.a. reporting services)
        configure({
            actors: Cast.where(actor => actor.whoCan(
                BrowseTheWebWithPlaywright.using(
                    browser,
                    { baseURL: `https://serenity-js.org` },
                    {
                        defaultNavigationTimeout:   Duration.ofSeconds(2).inMilliseconds(),
                        defaultTimeout:             Duration.ofMilliseconds(750).inMilliseconds(),
                    }
                )
            )),
            crew: [
                [ '@serenity-js/console-reporter', { theme: 'auto' } ],
                [ '@serenity-js/html-reporter', {
                    outputDirectory: './reports/serenity-js',
                    specDirectory: 'spec',
                } ],
                [ '@serenity-js/web:Photographer', {
                    strategy: 'TakePhotosOfFailures',
                    // strategy: 'TakePhotosOfInteractions',
                } ],
            ]
        })
    })
    
    it('should have a title', async () => {
 
        await actorCalled('William').attemptsTo(
            Navigate.to('https://serenity-js.org'),
            Ensure.that(Page.current().title(), startsWith('Serenity/JS')),        
        )
    })

    afterAll(async () => {
        // Close the browser after all the tests are finished
        if (browser) {
            await browser.close()
        }
    })
})
