Can it handle complex interactions like logins or file uploads?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to handle multi-step flows including authentication, form filling, and waiting for specific UI states.

Can I watch the browser as the tests are running?

Yes, by default, the skill runs in non-headless mode, allowing you to visually monitor the automation steps and debug issues in real-time.

Where are the generated test scripts stored?

To keep your project directory clean, all generated Playwright scripts are written to and executed from the system's temporary directory (/tmp).

Does this skill require a separate Playwright installation?

The skill includes a built-in setup command that installs Playwright and the necessary Chromium browser binaries automatically during the first use.

Can I test my local application before it's deployed?

Yes, the skill features built-in server detection that automatically finds and connects to your running local development servers (localhost).
