Using TUnit as a runner for Playwright? Anything special that should be considered?

[turbobobbytraykov]

I know it may be a silly question to ask, but given Playwright's current documentation on supported test runners , I was wondering it the Microsoft Test(ing) Platform (Protocol)/testfx/mttp/mtp or TUnit would expose any official integration with Playwright?

From what I can see, it's that MSTest & NUnit have integration in terms of settings for Playwright's browser instance(s) as well as a PageContext and BrowserContext helper classes.

OFFTOPIC: The "Microsoft Test(ing) Platform (Protocol)" has so many naming variations that it took me a boat-load of time to get lost where to look for details, other than asking the Amaury Leve on Twitter. 😄

I did raise this on their GitHub but they want the package to be more popular first: microsoft/playwright-dotnet#3007

I could recreate their logic and make my own package though. So I'll keep this issue open and see if I can find time for it.

[turbobobbytraykov]

Thanks for the info! Fingers crossed that they do open up to this.
Alternatively, packages or a tutorial from you would suffice for the time being.
That threshold may be 20M for all we know.

Sorry for the delay. I've mimicked their logic in my own package. If you want to help trial it out, I'm just releasing it to NuGet now.

It's TUnit.Playwright

Cool!
Unfortunately, my team has invested several days in nUnit at this point so for now we're set on that course, but I'll keep your change in mind.
However, I've let a friend of mine know so that he can try this out with his colleagues - they have new projects every 6-12 months so they can experiment with tech much more frequently.

@thomhurst Is there any documentation for this TUnit and Playwright? The Web example also does not have it.

@thomhurst How can I start with headless = false?

[thomhurst]

I tend to do this so it's only not headless when I'm debugging

[Before(TestSession)]
public void PlaywrightDebug()
{
    if(Debugger.IsAttached)
    {
        Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PWDEBUG", "1");
    }
}
