Quick Example

/playwright-test
Feature: Data Quality Rules

  - Test results are persisted after page reload
Roles: admin, dataConsumer

Instructions

Step 1: Read the Handbook FIRST

CRITICAL: Before generating any tests, read and apply ALL patterns from:

openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui/playwright/PLAYWRIGHT_DEVELOPER_HANDBOOK.md

The handbook contains:

• •Testing philosophy (user-centric, behavior-focused)
• •Anti-flakiness patterns (the :visible selector chain pattern, etc.)
• •Test timeout strategies (test.slow() vs test.setTimeout())
• •Common test patterns (form submission, dropdowns, multi-role testing)
• •Locator priority guidelines
• •Support classes reference
• •Domain tags
• •Validation checklist

Apply ALL handbook principles before proceeding.

Step 2: Generate Test Using Handbook Template

Use the Test File Structure Template from the handbook. It includes:

• •Proper imports (performAdminLogin, entity classes, utilities)
• •test.describe with domain tags
• •beforeAll/afterAll for entity lifecycle via API
• •test.slow() for timeout handling
• •test.step() for clear organization
• •API response validation pattern

Step 3: Apply Common Test Patterns from Handbook

Reference the Common Test Patterns section for:

• •Form submission with API validation
• •Dropdown selection (with :visible chain pattern)
• •Multi-role permission testing
• •Data persistence verification
• •Navigation patterns
• •Search and filter patterns

Step 4: Validate Against Handbook Checklist

Before returning the generated test, verify ALL items from the handbook's Validation Checklist:

• •✅ Structure & Organization (test.step, domain tags, imports, beforeAll/afterAll)
• •✅ Anti-Flakiness (no waitForTimeout, no networkidle, no force: true, no positional selectors, no stored :visible locators)
• •✅ API & Network (waitForResponse before actions, status code validation)
• •✅ Waits & Assertions (waitForAllLoadersToDisappear, semantic locators, proper assertions)
• •✅ Coverage & Roles (multi-role tests, data persistence, error handling)

Key Reminders

All patterns, rules, and best practices are in the handbook.

Read and apply the handbook sections in order:

1. •Anti-Flakiness Patterns (CRITICAL - #1 cause of flaky tests)
2. •Test File Structure Template (for proper test structure)
3. •Common Test Patterns (for specific scenarios)
4. •Validation Checklist (before returning generated test)

Final Notes

• •Generate production-ready tests that pass 10/10 times
• •Follow ALL patterns from the handbook exactly
• •No comments for obvious code (e.g., // Create entity before entity.create())
• •Test independence - each test runs in any order
• •Reference examples: playwright/e2e/Pages/DataContractInheritance.spec.ts, playwright/e2e/Features/Table.spec.ts

Generate tests that are production-ready, maintainable, and zero-flakiness by following the handbook patterns exactly.
