Topilot NPM | npm.io

topilot

Topilot CLI tools

Topilot is a platform for E2E testing at large scale.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

npm install --save-dev topilot

Get Started

To use Topilot, follow these steps:

Register on topilot.dev.
Create a project.
Copy the token from the project settings.
Set the TOPILOT_TOKEN environment variable with the copied value. Do this in both:
- A local project folder with a .env file.
- The CI environment.

Features

automate and reuse fixture by play playwright fixtures
focus on waht really matters by select key test cases to run in CI/CD pipeline

Usage

Use `topilot play` to run Playwright fixtures

Fixtures are a core concept in Playwright that provide an encapsulated, reusable, lazy-loaded, and composable way of establishing an environment.

However, fixtures are not runnable on their own, so it can be inconvenient to focus on writing and testing them.

To solve this problem, you can define your fixture in an ES module with setup, teardown, and name exported. Topilot will:

extend playwright test object with the fixture, which combines the setup and teardown function
generate tests for the fixture setup and teardown

Details:

Create fixtures as ES modules with the extension .fixture.ts.
To create a fixture, create an ES module that exports the following named members:
- name: the fixture name used in destructuring params of tests.
- setup: a function to set up the fixture values.
- teardown: a function to tear down the fixture values.
For example:
```
// project.fixture.ts
export const name = "project";

export const setup = async ({ page }) => {
  // create project here
  // ...
  const project = {
    // project info used by other tests
  };
  return { project };
};

export const teardown = async ({ page, project }) => {
  // teardown for the project
  // ...
  return {project: null};
};
```
Both setup and teardown should return the new fixture value, which will be uploaded to Topilot so that this fixture is used in other Playwright tests or manual tests.
Run topilot play in a terminal, then choose which fixture to play.
Replace Playwright test with topilot.
```
import topilot from 'topilot'

topilot('should add an item', async ({ todoPage }) => {
  await todoPage.addToDo('my item');
  // ...
});
```
topilot is the Playwright test object with fixtures extended, so you can use any fixtures defined in .fixture.ts files.

Select Key Test Cases to Run in CI/CD Pipeline

Here are the steps to follow:

Use topilot push to upload tests within the current branch to Topilot.
Select the key cases in Topilot.

When your Playwright tests are triggered in a CI/CD environment, only the selected key cases will be run. Other cases will be skipped to save time and focus on what really changed and matters.

Typescript

To get typescript not yelling at you with the unknown fixture error, we should extend topilot with module merging.

// my-fixture.fixture.ts
declare module "topilot" {
  interface Fixtures {
    "myFixture": string
  }
}

export const setup = () => {}

export const teardown = () => {}

export const name = "myFixture"
