Theia 🎭 Playwright is a page object framework built on top of Playwright designed specifically for developing system tests for Theia-based applications.
It provides an abstraction layer over Theia's user interfaces, encapsulating UI interaction details and wait conditions. This allows you to write tests that are more concise, maintainable, and stable by interacting with high-level page objects rather than raw DOM elements.
Key features include:
- Generic Capability Support: Built-in handling for Theia's core features like views, the quick command palette, and the file explorer.
- Extensibility: You can implement custom page objects for application-specific components like custom editors, menus, or views.
- Cross-Browser Testing: Leverages Playwright to run or debug tests in headless or headful modes across all modern browsers.
