Soenneker.Playwrights.TestHosts 11.0.352

Soenneker.Playwrights.TestHosts

A reusable test fixture that locates an application project, starts it on an available loopback port, and provides Playwright browser sessions to the suite.

Installation

dotnet add package Soenneker.Playwrights.TestHosts

Define a host

Derive from PlaywrightHostedTestHost and identify the solution and application project. The project path must be relative to, and remain inside, the discovered solution directory.

using System.IO;
using Soenneker.Playwrights.TestEnvironment.Options;
using Soenneker.Playwrights.TestHosts;

public sealed class AppPlaywrightHost : PlaywrightHostedTestHost
{
    protected override PlaywrightTestHostOptions CreateOptions()
    {
        return new PlaywrightTestHostOptions
        {
            SolutionFileName = "MyApp.slnx",
            ProjectRelativePath = Path.Combine("src", "MyApp", "MyApp.csproj"),
            ApplicationName = "MyApp",
            Restore = false,
            Build = true,
            BuildConfiguration = "Debug",
            ReuseBrowserContextAcrossSessions = false,
            ReusePageAcrossSessions = false
        };
    }
}

Override ConfigureServices when the test fixture needs additional dependencies:

protected override void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddSingleton<TestData>();
}

Use it in tests

Share the host for the test session, then create and dispose a browser session in each test:

using Microsoft.Playwright;
using Soenneker.Playwrights.Session;

[ClassDataSource<AppPlaywrightHost>(Shared = SharedType.PerTestSession)]
public sealed class HomePageTests
{
    private readonly AppPlaywrightHost _host;

    public HomePageTests(AppPlaywrightHost host)
    {
        _host = host;
    }

    [Test]
    public async ValueTask Home_page_loads()
    {
        await using BrowserSession session = await _host.CreateSession();

        await session.Page.GotoAsync(_host.BaseUrl);
        await Assertions.Expect(session.Page.GetByRole(AriaRole.Heading))
                        .ToBeVisibleAsync();
    }
}

BaseUrl and CreateSession are available after the shared host initializes. Disposing the host closes Playwright and terminates the application process. Shared context/page behavior can be set in CreateOptions or overridden per CreateSession call with PlaywrightSessionOptions.
