E2E Test Automation Project for HRM System

by DarliRo

This project is for writing and running automated tests using Pytest & Playwright (TBD)

Initial Setup

• Install Python (version 3.13+)
• Install PDM for dependency management
• Create and activate a virtual environment: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
• Install project dependencies: pdm lock && pdm sync
• Set up pre-commit hooks (auto-code check before commit): pre-commit install -f
• Create a .env file to store and retrieve environment variables: touch .env

Running Tests Locally

Through Terminal:

• Basic Run: pytest -sv tests/path_to_file_or_directory
• Run with Browser UI / Headed: pytest -sv --headed tests/path_to_file_or_directory
• Run with Slow Interactions / Debug:pytest -sv --headed --slowmo 500 tests/path_to_file_or_directory
• Generate Allure Reports: pytest -sv --alluredir=allure-results tests/path_to_file_or_directory

Running Tests in GitHub Actions

Manual Run:

• Go to GitHub Actions page
• Find the desired workflow (e.g., UI Tests)
• Click the Run workflow button
• Select the branch you want to run
• Click Run workflow again to trigger the execution

Allure Report Setup

• Install Allure Report
• Generate a report based on the latest test run: allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report
• Open the report locally: allure open allure-report

Code Linting and Formatting with ruff

• Check Code Quality: ruff check path_to_file_or_folder
• Autofix Errors: ruff check path_to_file_or_folder --fix
• Format Code: ruff format path_to_file_or_folder --fix

Tips:

• Usage of conftest.py: At each level of the tests folder, you can place a conftest.py with fixtures or hooks specific to that level of testing
• Simulating Debug Runs: Use --headed and --slowmo options to visually debug tests with browser UI and control interaction speeds
