Overview

Here is a simple repository to highlight the issues using playwright in shared packages using npm workspaces:

Where to run this

In vscode, with the playwright extension installed, to version v1.1.7

Here is the breakdown of the workspace:

• packages/app-1 A simple typescript library, which has a single test using playwright

• packages/shared A simple typescript library, which exports a simple function, used by packages/app-1

There are two branches in the repository, each of which will have its own ReadMe explaining what to expect:

• main, which has a vanilla playwright configuration; it is only used in a single package of the workspace (app-1).
• shared-fixture, which demonstrates the issue exporting fixtures from a shared package in a workspace.

🚨 Note, when switching branches, make sure to clean the repo and re-install dependencies with the following commands:

# From root of the repo
[me@machine playwright-shared] npm clean
...

[me@machine playwright-shared] npm install
...

Getting started

1. Install dependencies

# from root of the repo
[me@machine playwright-shared] npm install 

2. Run the tests

# from root of the repo
[me@machine playwright-shared] npm run test
