Our review
Runs TUnit tests with Playwright in a .NET project, with options for parallelism, filtering, and report generation.
Strengths
- Supports filtering by class, test name, or wildcard via treenode-filter
- Manages parallelism to prevent system overload
- Detailed console and TRX report formats
- Flakiness mitigation with automatic retries and sequential execution
Limitations
- Requires specific project structure (SummitUI.Tests.Playwright)
- Filters use a complex path pattern (assembly/namespace/class/test)
- Depends on .NET SDK being installed
When you need to run a Playwright test suite in a .NET TUnit project, with control over parallelism and test filtering.
For simple unit tests without browser interaction, prefer a lighter framework like xUnit or NUnit without Playwright.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only provides instructions for running dotnet test commands and does not perform any destructive actions, external network calls, or exfiltration. No obfuscated or unsafe commands are present.
No concerns found
Examples
Run all TUnit Playwright tests with maximum 1 parallel test.Run all tests in the SelectAccessibilityTests class.Run the test named Trigger_ShouldHave_RoleCombobox.name: tunit description: Run TUnit tests with Playwright. Use when user asks to run tests, execute tests, or check if tests pass.
Running TUnit Tests
This project uses TUnit with Playwright for testing. Tests are located in tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright/.
Run All Tests
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright
Run Tests with Limited Parallelism (Recommended)
To prevent system overload when running Playwright tests, limit parallel test execution:
# Run with maximum 1 parallel test (sequential)
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --maximum-parallel-tests 1
# Run with maximum 8 parallel tests
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --maximum-parallel-tests 8
Run Tests with Filters
TUnit uses --treenode-filter with path pattern: /assembly/namespace/class/test
Filter by class name:
dotnet run --project SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/*/ClassName/*'
Filter by exact test name:
dotnet run --project SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/*/*/TestName'
Examples:
# Run all Select accessibility tests
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/*/SelectAccessibilityTests/*'
# Run specific test by name
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/*/*/Trigger_ShouldHave_RoleCombobox'
# Run tests matching pattern (wildcard in test name)
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/*/*/Keyboard*'
# Run all tests in namespace
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --treenode-filter '/*/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright/*/*'
Run Tests in Debug Mode
When a debugger is attached, Playwright will run in debug mode (PWDEBUG=1) automatically via the Hooks.cs setup.
View Test Output
Add --report flags for different output formats:
# Console output with details
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --output-format console-detailed
# Generate TRX report
dotnet run --project tests/SummitUI.Tests.Playwright -- --report-trx
Flakiness Mitigation
The test project includes several features to reduce flakiness:
- Automatic Retries: Tests are automatically retried up to 2 times on failure (
[Retry(2)]in GlobalSetup.cs) - Fully Sequential Execution: All tests run sequentially via
[assembly: NotInParallel]in GlobalSetup.cs - Server Readiness Check:
Hooks.cswaits for the Blazor server to be fully ready before tests start - Extended Timeouts: Configured via
tunit.jsonfor longer test and hook timeouts
Project Structure
GlobalSetup.cs- Assembly-level test configuration (retries, parallelism)Hooks.cs- Test session setup/teardown (starts Blazor server)BlazorWebApplicationFactory.cs- WebApplicationFactory for hosting the test servertunit.json- TUnit configuration file*AccessibilityTests.cs- Accessibility test classes inheriting fromPageTest
Test Conventions
- Tests inherit from
TUnit.Playwright.PageTestto getPageaccess - Use
[Before(Test)]for per-test setup - Use
[Before(TestSession)]/[After(TestSession)]for session-wide setup - Access the running server via
Hooks.ServerUrl
