Creating A Playwright Test Automation Project With Maven Archetype

11-04-2024 door Roy de Kleijn

A robust testing framework is essential for effective software development. The playwright-testng-archetype integrates Playwright, TestNG, and Allure reporting, providing a solid foundation for automated testing. In this post, we will guide you through the process of creating a new project using this Maven archetype, both in IntelliJ IDEA and via the command line.

What is playwright-testng-archetype?

The playwright-testng-archetype is a Maven archetype that sets up a project with Playwright for browser automation, TestNG as the test framework, and Allure for generating test reports. It also includes a property feature that simplifies configuration settings management.

Key Features:

  • Playwright: Enables automated browser testing across different browsers.
  • TestNG: Provides a powerful testing framework with features like grouping, sequencing, and parameterizing tests.
  • Allure Reporting: Offers comprehensive test reports, helping analyze test results.
  • Property Feature: Facilitates easy configuration management.

Creating a New Project Using IntelliJ IDEA

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA: Start IntelliJ IDEA and select File > New > Project.
  2. Select Maven: In the New Project window, choose Maven from the left-hand pane.
  3. Enable Archetype: Click the Add Archetype button. Configure Archetype Details:
    • GroupId: io.testsmith
    • ArtifactId: playwright-testng-archetype
    • Version: 0.2
  4. Fill in Project Details: Enter your project's GroupId, ArtifactId, and Version.
  5. Finish Setup: Click Next, configure any additional settings if needed, and finish the setup.

Creating a New Project Using the Command Line

  1. Open Terminal/Command Prompt: Access your command-line interface.
  2. Navigate to Your Workspace: Use cd to move to the directory where you want to create the project.
  3. Generate Project:
mvn archetype:generate \
    -DarchetypeGroupId=io.testsmith \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=playwright-testng-archetype \
    -DarchetypeVersion=0.2 \
    -DgroupId=<your-group-id> \
    -DartifactId=<your-artifact-id> \
    -Dversion=<your-version>

Replace <your-group-id>, <your-artifact-id>, and <your-version> with your project's specific details.

  1. Navigate into Project: Once the project is created, move into the project directory using cd <your-artifact-id>.
  2. Verify Setup: Ensure everything is set up correctly by opening the project in your favorite IDE or editor.

By following these steps, you can easily set up a new project with a solid testing foundation using the playwright-testng-archetype. This setup facilitates browser-based testing with Playwright, leverages TestNG's features, and integrates Allure reporting for insightful test analytics.
