Setting up a Playwright project with TypeScript, Cucumber, and the Page Object Model involves several steps. Below is a step-by-step guide to get you started:
Step 1: Initialize the Project Create a New Directory for Your Project: mkdir playwright-cucumber-ts-pom cd playwright-cucumber-ts-pom
Initialize a Node.js Project: npm init -y
Step 2: Install Dependencies npm install @playwright/test Install TypeScript: npm install typescript ts-node @types/node --save-dev
Install Cucumber and Related Packages: npm install @cucumber/cucumber @types/cucumber tsconfig-paths --save-dev Install Additional Utilities: npm install playwright cucumber-tsflow
Step 3: Configure TypeScript
{ "compilerOptions": { "target": "ESNext", "module": "CommonJS", "strict": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "outDir": "./dist", "baseUrl": "./", "paths": { "": ["node_modules/"] } }, "include": ["src/**/*.ts"] }
Step 4: Set Up Project Structure Create the Necessary Directories: mkdir -p src/{features,steps,pages}
playwright-cucumber-ts-pom/ ├── src/ │ ├── features/ │ │ └── example.feature │ ├── steps/ │ │ └── example.steps.ts │ └── pages/ │ └── homePage.ts ├── tsconfig.json ├── package.json └── cucumber.js
Step 5: Create Cucumber Configuration Create a cucumber.js File:
module.exports = { default: { require: ['src/steps/**/*.ts'], format: ['progress', 'json:./reports/cucumber_report.json'], parallel: 1, 'publish-quiet': true, }, };
Step 6: Write Feature File Create an Example Feature File (src/features/example.feature): Feature: Example feature
Scenario: Open home page Given I navigate to the home page Then I should see the home page
