Running Rails System Tests with Playwright instead of Selenium https://justin.searls.co/posts/running-rails-system-tests-with-playwright-instead-of-selenium/
@searls are these blog/social images gen-ai shit? And are they only there for OpenGraph tags, and not actually visible in the posts?
@searls Hello Justin, thank you for the blog post. We would like to introduce system tests inside our platform, however, we have some doubts about a practical way to manage db data seeds in each test. We are considering the following ideas: 1) create every model by using forms with playwright - 2) using factories or scripts - 3) using database dump and restore for each specific test. Do you have some suggestions, best practices, or ideas about this topic?
For Rails apps, I've been using Cuprite (https://cuprite.rubycdp.com/) which uses CDP to talk to Chrome like Playwright which I think is the main thing that makes it more stable. However, it only works with Chrome which isn't ideal.
I've previously used Playwright with a JavaScript web app and I was very impressed, so thanks for posting about this!
