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
