3.Tests Run<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n
Create any file with name test_ ie test_example.py <\/strong><\/span> Also need to do this with functions ie test_has_title<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n
def test_has_title():\r\n    with sync_playwright() as p:\r\n        browser = p.firefox.launch(headless=False)  # Set headless=False\r\n        page = browser.new_page()\r\n        page.goto(\"https:\/\/playwright.dev\/\")\r\n        browser.close()<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
In current working directory type pytest <\/strong>to runn all tests inside all files, <\/p>\r\n
pytest # run all files, all test functions auto\r\npytest test_login.py # only test_login.py\r\npytest -k test_add_a_todo_item # specific file and function<\/code><\/pre>\r\n
