PyShiny E2E Testing with Playwright

This project demonstrates end-to-end (E2E) testing of a PyShiny application using Playwright. It aims to provide a practical example of how to automate testing for a Python-based web app, covering UI interactions and verifying functionality.

• Demonstrates usage of Playwright with PyShiny.
• Shows how to test easily available UI components like radio buttons.
• And how to test components that require javascript to interact with, like sliders.
• Includes examples of parameterized tests.

• Python 3.10+
• Poetry for dependency management

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Appsilon/pyshiny-e2e-playwright.git
cd pyshiny-e2e-playwright

2. Install dependencies using Poetry:

poetry install
poetry run playwright install

These commands will create a virtual environment and install all required dependencies.

To start the PyShiny app:

poetry run shiny run app.py

Ensure the app is running at http://localhost:8000 (or your configured port).

To execute the E2E tests with Playwright:

poetry run pytest

Make sure your app is running before executing the tests as they require the app to be accessible.
