Project Description
This Hack Week i want to figure out how to best use Playwright to test Mojolicious applications like openQA in unit tests. Playwright is a (mostly better) alternative to Selenium for browser automation. I'd like to find a way to write entire unit tests in JavaScript, and have those run right next to existing Perl tests with the same test runner using Node Tap and the Test Anything Protocol.
Goal for this Hackweek
- Get to know Playwright and its features
- Write a node library to start and manage a Mojolicious web server
- Combine TAP and Playwright into unit tests
- Find a way to manage database fixtures for the Mojolicious application to be tested
- Have fun along the way
Looking for hackers with the skills:

Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright by oscar-barrios
Description
The goal of this project is to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from using Selenium to Playwright. This migration will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging the modern features of Playwright. The work involves rewriting existing Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript. This will include updating test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. As we also need to move from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.
Goals
- Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
- Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakynes.
- Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
Resources
- Existing Uyuni Test Framework (Cucumber Ruby + Capybara + Selenium)
- My Template for CucumberJS + Playwright in TypeScript
