Python Template QE Pipeline

Overview

Minimal pytest + Playwright template for Python QE pipelines. Use this repo as a starting point for browser-based tests with Playwright and pytest.

Quickstart

1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   • Windows (cmd.exe):

     python -m venv .venv
     .venv\Scripts\activate
     

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   If requirements.txt is not present, add one containing at least playwright and pytest.

3. Install Playwright browser binaries:

   playwright install
   

4. Run tests:

   pytest -q
   

Recommended project layout

• README.md
• LICENSE
• requirements.txt (or pyproject.toml)
• conftest.py
• tests/
  • test_*.py

Put shared fixtures in conftest.py and test files under tests/ named test_*.py.

Example (if you need a minimal test)

Create tests/test_example.py with a small, focused test that uses Playwright fixtures. Keep examples minimal and explicit about required setup (e.g., playwright browsers installed).

Notes & troubleshooting

• If tests show no browser or fail to launch, run playwright install.
• Ensure your venv is active and dependencies are installed.
• Use environment variables for secrets; never hardcode keys in tests or CI.

Contribution & intent

This repository is intended as a lightweight template. If you'd like, I can add a minimal tests/test_example.py and a requirements.txt that includes pytest and playwright. If you want CI integration (GitHub Actions), I can propose a small workflow that installs dependencies and runs playwright install before pytest.
