🎭 WrightTest

Low-code UI test automation platform powered by Playwright.
Create, record, and run browser tests through a web interface - no code required.

✨ Features

• Visual Recorder - click through your app via noVNC, steps captured automatically
• Smart Locators - uses getByRole, getByLabel, href instead of fragile CSS paths
• Assertions Builder - toBeVisible, toHaveText, toHaveURL and more
• Mobile Testing - emulate iPhone 15, Pixel 7, iPad and other devices
• Environments - {{BASE_URL}}, {{PASSWORD}} replaced at runtime per environment
• Scheduler - cron-based automatic runs with full history per schedule
• Suites - group tests and run them with one click or on schedule
• Trace Viewer - built-in Playwright trace viewer after every run
• Notifications - Telegram / Slack alerts on FAILED
• Export - download tests as .spec.ts, run with npx playwright test
• Import - paste existing Playwright script, get a visual test
• Dashboard - pass rate over time and flaky test detection

🚀 Quick Start (Docker-first)

Requirements: Docker, Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/AlexFilippov-it/wrighttest.git
cd wrighttest

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env - set JWT_SECRET to a long random string (required)

docker compose up --build

Service	URL
App	http://localhost:5173
API	http://localhost:3000
noVNC	http://localhost:6080

Default admin login is defined in .env:

• ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@wrighttest.com
• ADMIN_PASSWORD=changeme

On an empty database the seed also creates a Docker Demo project with two sample tests, a DEV environment, a Smoke Test suite, and an hourly schedule.

This path is the recommended first launch on any machine. The backend image is built on the Playwright-ready base image and includes the browser bundle, so no host browser or system library setup is required.

🤖 AI Quick Start

If you are working with an AI coding agent, start here first:

• AGENTS.md

It contains the canonical repo workflow, startup order, and environment rules for WrightTest.

🛠 Host Fallback (optional)

Use this only if you want to run the frontend with Vite and the backend on the host.

Requirements: Node.js 20+, PostgreSQL 16, Redis 7

git clone https://github.com/AlexFilippov-it/wrighttest.git
cd wrighttest

cp .env.example .env
# Edit DATABASE_URL for local PostgreSQL

npm install
npm run setup
cd backend && npx prisma migrate dev && npx prisma db seed && cd ..
npm run dev

npm install now runs a Playwright bootstrap step for Chromium. On Ubuntu/Linux it will also try to install system dependencies when the terminal session allows it. If Playwright still cannot launch Chromium, run the same bootstrap manually and then install Linux deps:

npm run setup
npx playwright install chromium
sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium

Service	URL
Frontend	http://localhost:5173
Backend	http://localhost:3000

If the host environment still reports missing Playwright libraries, rerun npm run setup once from the repo root. On Ubuntu/Linux this may fall back to npx playwright install-deps chromium when needed.

🔄 Updating

git pull
docker compose up --build -d

On first launch or after resetting volumes:

cp .env.example .env
# Make sure JWT_SECRET is set to a long random value
docker compose up --build -d

Migrations apply automatically on startup. Existing projects, tests and run history are preserved in the Postgres volume.

🔧 Changing Ports

All ports are in .env - no hardcoded values in code:

BACKEND_PORT=3001
FRONTEND_PORT=8080
NOVNC_PORT=6081

Then restart:

docker compose up --build -d

📸 Product Tour

Projects overview with health summaries, project status, and onboarding.

Project workspace with checks, schedules, alerts, and operational summaries.

Edit browser checks visually and review global execution history across projects.

Live recording captures Playwright-ready selectors directly from the browser session.
