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/testbased on message history - Save generated test file in the tests directory
- Execute the test file and iterate until the test passes
