Rewrite: Using cucumber and typescript to create a simple framework for playwright.

“Get ready to integrate the play framework with cucumber and typescript – it’s gonna be a wild ride! First, install NodeJS and Visual Studio Code. Then, we’ll add all the dependencies like typescript, cucumber, play right, and more. Once done, we’ll dive into creating the folder structure. Stay tuned for the next session and let’s get coding! 🚀”

In this series of videos, we will explore the basic Playwright framework with Cucumber. We will also integrate Typescript into our workflow, although you can use JavaScript if you prefer. Before we get started, make sure you have NodeJS and Visual Studio Code installed. You can find official download links for these in the video description.

Installation and Preparation

To begin, open Visual Studio Code and create an empty folder. Then open a new terminal within Visual Studio Code and follow the steps to initialize our repository and install necessary dependencies.

Package Initialization

We’ll start by creating a package.json file. Use the following command to initialize your repository and add the required details:

npm init

Installing Dependencies

We’ll need to install several dev dependencies for our framework. Within the terminal, use the following commands to install each dependency:

1. Typescript:

   npm install -D typescript
   

2. Cucumber:

   npm install -D cucumber
   

3. Playwright:

   npm install playwright
   

4. Playwright Test:

   npm install -D playwright-test
   

5. Cucumber HTML Reporter:

   npm install -D cucumber-html-reporter
   

6. Env-cmd:

   npm install -D env-cmd
   

Once you’ve completed these steps, our framework will be ready for further development.

Next Steps

In our next session, we will focus on creating a folder structure for our framework. Stay tuned for more details on how to set up our basic framework!

Key Takeaways:

• Establishing a basic Playwright framework with Cucumber and Typescript
• Installing necessary dev dependencies using npm commands
• Preparing the framework for further development

FAQ:
Q: Can we use JavaScript instead of Typescript?
A: Yes, JavaScript can also be used in place of Typescript for this framework.

Conclusion:
By following the steps outlined in this video, you’ll be well-equipped to begin creating your own basic Playwright framework with Cucumber and Typescript. Stay tuned for the next session where we’ll explore folder structure creation!
