Playwright E2E Test Workflow

Three-agent workflow for generating end-to-end tests:

•Planner → Explores UI, generates markdown test plan
•Generator → Transforms plan into executable Playwright tests
•Healer → Automatically fixes failing tests

When to Use

Use when developer requests E2E test generation:

•"Generate an E2E test for the new dashboard"
•"Create automated test for the upload flow"
•"Add happy path test for experiment creation"

Prerequisites

bash

# Opik must be running locally
./scripts/dev-runner.sh --start
curl http://localhost:5173  # verify

# Playwright environment
cd tests_end_to_end/typescript-tests
npm install
npx playwright install chromium

Workflow Phases

Phase 1: Planning

Input: Running app + feature description Output: tests_end_to_end/typescript-tests/specs/{feature-name}.md

Uses seed test: tests/seed-for-planner.spec.ts

Phase 2: Generation

Input: Markdown test plan from specs/ Output: tests_end_to_end/typescript-tests/tests/{feature-area}/{test-name}.spec.ts

Uses existing fixtures and page objects.

Phase 3: Healing

Input: Generated test + failure info Output: Passing test or test.fixme() if feature is broken
