Install and Setup

BUnit

Setup bUnit first, we can use this for unit testing

Add Playwright

Either follow the docs or the instructions below

Next, we need to install Playwright for Dotnet. You can do this by running

dotnet add package Microsoft.Playwright.Xunit

in the tests project directory. We don't need to create a new project for playwright since we have one with xUnit and bUnit already for our other tests. This setup allows both end to end and unit tests.

Now build the project to generate some necessary playwright files:

dotnet build

Now, Playwright has done the useful task of adding a powershell script. If for some reason you have powershell installed, you can run the following:

pwsh bin/Debug/net8.0/playwright.ps1 install

However, most people don't have powershell installed. Rather than something clever, just install Powershell.

# Windows
winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell --source winget
# MacOS
brew install --cask powershell

Wait but what if I use Linux? You can figure it out

That concludes our installation and setup! Now we can begin writing tests!
