Generate a Playwright test based on a scenario using Playwright MCP
— the description by debs-obrien

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill provides a structured workflow for generating Playwright TypeScript tests. It guides the agent through a multi-step process that involves interpreting a user-provided scenario, utilizing Playwright MCP tools to interact with the environment, saving the resulting test file to the designated directory, and performing iterative execution to ensure the test passes.

What it does

  • Prompts the user for a test scenario if one is not provided.
  • Executes step-by-step actions using Playwright MCP tools.
  • Generates TypeScript test code using the @playwright/test framework.
  • Saves the generated test file into the project's tests directory.
  • Runs the generated test to verify its functionality.
  • Iterates on the test code until it successfully passes.

When to use it

  • When you need to create new automated browser tests from a plain-language scenario.
  • When you want to ensure generated tests are functional and verified before finalization.
  • When working within a project that utilizes Playwright MCP for test automation.

Advantages

  • Ensures test code is validated through actual execution.
  • Reduces manual effort in writing and debugging boilerplate test code.
  • Maintains a consistent structure for test generation and storage.

Usage examples

“Generate a Playwright test for a user login scenario where the user enters valid credentials and is redirected to the dashboard.”
The agent will use Playwright MCP to navigate the login flow, generate the corresponding TypeScript test file, save it to the tests folder, and run it to confirm it passes.

Test Generation with Playwright MCP

Your goal is to generate a Playwright test based on the provided scenario after completing all prescribed steps.

Specific Instructions

  • You are given a scenario, and you need to generate a playwright test for it. If the user does not provide a scenario, you will ask them to provide one.

  • DO NOT generate test code prematurely or based solely on the scenario without completing all prescribed steps.

  • DO run steps one by one using the tools provided by the Playwright MCP.

  • Only after all steps are completed, emit a Playwright TypeScript test that uses @playwright/test based on message history

  • Save generated test file in the tests directory

  • Execute the test file and iterate until the test passes
