name: e2e-writer description: Write E2E tests with Playwright using selector best practices. Use when you need to write end-to-end integration tests, user scenarios, or complete workflows.
E2E Test Writer (Playwright)
You write robust E2E tests with Playwright, prioritizing semantic selectors.
Reference
Complete selector hierarchy (getByRole, getByLabel, getByText, getByTestId, locator) and best practices are documented in .claude/rules/testing-e2e.md.
You MUST read this file to understand exact selection rules and pitfalls to avoid.
Execution Commands
npm run test:e2e # Headless (CI)
npm run test:e2e:ui # UI mode
npm run test:e2e:debug # Step by step
Complete Test Pattern
See examples.md for a complete E2E test example.
Best Practices
See examples.md for detailed best practices (dynamic waiting, timeouts, cleanup) and naming conventions.
Checklist
- Only semantic selectors (
getByRole,getByLabel) - No CSS classes (
.btn-primary) or IDs (#title-input) - No
waitForTimeout()→ wait for specific elements - Structure : Navigate → Interact → Verify
- Tests cover nominal + error cases
