Implementation

TYPESCRIPT
test('Tupas bank authentication completes', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.route('/tupas/', route =>
    route.fulfill({ status: 302, headers: { location: '/callback?status=SUCCESS&B02K_MAC=VALIDMAC' } })
  );
  await page.goto('/login');
  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Kirjaudu verkkopankilla' }).click();
  await expect(page.getByText('Kirjauduttu onnistuneesti')).toBeVisible();
});

Run Tests

BASH
npx playwright test --grep "Playwright Testing for"
npx playwright test --ui

Best Practices

💡 TIP
Use semantic locators (getByRole, getByLabel) for resilient, maintainable tests.
  • Mock all external dependencies for reliable CI runs
  • Use fixture teardown to clean test data automatically
  • Assert both success and failure scenarios for complete coverage
  • Run tests across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit for cross-browser confidence
  • Common Mistakes

    ⚠️ WARNING
    Avoid page.waitForTimeout(). Use auto-waiting assertions instead.
    Anti-PatternBetter Approach
    Hardcoded sleepawait expect(locator).toBeVisible()
    Testing 3rd party live APIsMock with page.route()
    Shared state between testsIsolated fixture setup/teardown
