How to use

You can find example in Bootstrap.Tests project for UI testing

Basic steps:

1. Create unit test project
2. Add additional Reqnroll nuget packages for unit test provider:

Unit test framework	Nuget package
MSTest	Reqnroll.MsTest
NUnit	Reqnroll.NUnit
xUnit	Reqnroll.xUnit

Warning

Version of test adapter nuget package should match to Reqnroll package version

3. Add nuget package

AutoTests.Framework.Playwright

4. Create reqnroll.json and register framework assemblies. Example:

{
  "$schema": "https://schemas.reqnroll.net/reqnroll-config-latest.json",
  "stepAssemblies": [
    { "assembly": "AutoTests.Framework" },
    { "assembly": "AutoTests.Framework.Components" },
    { "assembly": "AutoTests.Framework.Playwright" }
  ]
}

5. Create Application class for UI application

internal sealed class BootstrapApplication : IApplication
{
    [Route("checkout")]
    public Checkout? Checkout { get; set; }
}

How to make browser window visible

By default browser will run in headless mode.

If you need to change this behavior just add BeforeTestRun hook inside your test app and override BrowserTypeLaunchOptions like this:

[Binding]
internal sealed class ReqnrollHooks
{
    [BeforeTestRun(Order = 0)]
    public static void BeforeTestRun(IObjectContainer objectContainer)
    {
        objectContainer.RegisterInstanceAs(new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions { Headless = false });
    }
}

How to work with test data

You can create json file in Data subfolder and get access to content in feature to it like:

Feature: CheckoutForm

Scenario: checkout form validation test
    Given navigate to '@Data.Common.HomePageUrl' #return value HomePageUrl from Data\Common.json

You can find example in 'Bootstrap.Tests'
