Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following installed:

• pip (Python package manager): Should come installed with Python.
• Google Chrome (or any Playwright-supported browser): Chrome is recommended, but Playwright will work with Chromium by default.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository: First, clone the repository to your local machine:

    git clone https://github.com/Vijay-QC/saucedemo.git
    cd saucedemo
   

2. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment It's recommended to create a virtual environment for this project to manage dependencies in isolation.

    python -m venv venv
   

On Windows, activate the virtual environment:

venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Required Dependencies Use pip to install the necessary dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
   

This will install the required libraries, including Playwright and testing dependencies.

4. Install Playwright Browsers Playwright needs browser binaries (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) to run tests. Install them using:

   playwright install
   

This will download and install the necessary browser binaries for testing.

Running the Tests Locally

1. Run Tests in Headless Mode (Default)

    pytest --html=reports/index.html
   

This will execute all the tests and generate an HTML report in the reports folder.

2. Run Tests in Headed Mode

   pytest --headed --html=reports/index.html
   

This will open the browser window while running the tests, useful for debugging.

3. Test Execution Logs/Reports Reports: After running the tests, you can view the results in the generated HTML report (reports/index.html).

To open the report: start reports/index.html
