How to Contribute

Getting Code

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/playwright
cd playwright

Install dependencies

npm install

Build Playwright

npm run build

Run all Playwright tests locally. For more information about tests, read Running & Writing Tests.

npm test

Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose. Consult GitHub Help for more information on using pull requests.

Code Style

Coding style is fully defined in .eslintrc
Comments should be generally avoided. If the code would not be understood without comments, consider re-writing the code to make it self-explanatory.

To run code linter, use:

npm run eslint

API guidelines

When authoring new API methods, consider the following:

Expose as little information as needed. When in doubt, don’t expose new information.
Methods are used in favor of getters/setters.
- The only exception is namespaces, e.g. page.keyboard and page.coverage
All string literals must be small case. This includes event names and option values.
Avoid adding "sugar" API (API that is trivially implementable in user-space) unless they're very common.

Commit Messages

Commit messages should follow the Semantic Commit Messages format:

label(namespace): title

description

footer

label is one of the following:
- fix - playwright bug fixes.
- feat - playwright features.
- docs - changes to docs, e.g. docs(api.md): .. to change documentation.
- test - changes to playwright tests infrastructure.
- devops - build-related work, e.g. CI related patches and general changes to the browser build infrastructure
- chore - everything that doesn't fall under previous categories
namespace is put in parenthesis after label and is optional. Must be lowercase.
title is a brief summary of changes.
description is optional, new-line separated from title and is in present tense.
footer is optional, new-line separated from description and contains "fixes" / "references" attribution to github issues.

Example:

fix(firefox): make sure session cookies work

This patch fixes session cookies in firefox browser.

Fixes #123, fixes #234

Writing Documentation

All API classes, methods and events should have description in docs/src. There's a documentation linter which makes sure documentation is aligned with the codebase.

To run the documentation linter, use:

npm run doc

Adding New Dependencies

For all dependencies (both installation and development):

Do not add a dependency if the desired functionality is easily implementable.
If adding a dependency, it should be well-maintained and trustworthy.

A barrier for introducing new installation dependencies is especially high:

Do not add installation dependency unless it's critical to project success.

Running & Writing Tests

Every feature should be accompanied by a test.
Every public api event/method should be accompanied by a test.
Tests should be hermetic. Tests should not depend on external services.
Tests should work on all three platforms: Mac, Linux and Win. This is especially important for screenshot tests.

Playwright tests are located in test and use Folio test runner. These are integration tests, making sure public API methods and events work as expected.

To run all tests:

npm run test

To run all tests in Chromium

npm run ctest # also `ftest` for firefox and `wtest` for WebKit

To run a specific test, substitute it with it.only:

...
// Using "it.only" to run a specific test
it.only('should work', async ({server, page}) => {
  const response = await page.goto(server.EMPTY_PAGE);
  expect(response.ok).toBe(true);
});

To disable a specific test, substitute it with it.skip:

...
// Using "it.skip" to skip a specific test
it.skip('should work', async ({server, page}) => {
  const response = await page.goto(server.EMPTY_PAGE);
  expect(response.ok).toBe(true);
});

To run tests in non-headless (headed) mode:

HEADFUL=1 npm run ctest

To run tests with custom browser executable, specify CRPATH, WKPATH or FFPATH env variable that points to browser executable:

CRPATH=<path-to-executable> npm run ctest

To run tests in slow-mode:

HEADFUL=1 SLOW_MO=500 npm run wtest

When should a test be marked with skip or fail?
- skip(condition): This test should never work for condition where condition is usually a certain browser like FFOX (for Firefox), WEBKIT (for WebKit), and CHROMIUM (for Chromium).
  
  For example, the alt-click downloads test is marked with skip(FFOX) since an alt-click in Firefox will not produce a download even if a person was driving the browser.
- fail(condition): This test should eventually work for condition where condition is usually a certain browser like FFOX (for Firefox), WEBKIT (for WebKit), and CHROMIUM (for Chromium).
  
  For example, the alt-click downloads test is marked with fail(CHROMIUM || WEBKIT) since Playwright performing these actions currently diverges from what a user would experience driving a Chromium or WebKit.
