How does this skill handle multiple local servers?

It utilizes a specialized helper script to manage the lifecycle of multiple servers, such as a backend and frontend, ensuring they are ready before automation begins.

How does it handle dynamic content and JS execution?

It follows a 'Reconnaissance-Then-Action' pattern, specifically waiting for the 'networkidle' state to ensure all dynamic elements are rendered before inspection.

Can I use this for static HTML files?

Yes, the skill provides a decision tree for static HTML that identifies selectors directly from the file to streamline the creation of Playwright scripts.

Why should I run scripts with the --help flag first?

Running --help allows Claude to understand the script's usage as a black box, preventing the context window from being cluttered with large source code files.

Security & Testing

Automates local web application testing and UI verification using Playwright scripts and integrated server management.

About

The webapp-testing skill provides a robust toolkit for developers to interact with and verify local web applications using Playwright. It simplifies the testing lifecycle by managing server processes, handling dynamic content synchronization through reconnaissance patterns, and capturing visual or log-based debug information. This skill is particularly effective for testing complex, multi-server environments where frontend and backend services must operate in tandem during automated UI verification.
