What is spec.ts?

The spec file is a collection of test cases. Once we have done npm init playwright, we see a function @playwright/test imported. Using this test annotation, we can define the test cases.

import {test} from '@playwright/test'; Test function is what we are importing.

test('Name of the test case', 'callback function' { // playwright test steps // step 1 // step 2 ........ ........ ........ });

There are some built-in test sub-functions available that we can use with the test annotation. These help in controlling which tests to run or not.

Example:

• test.only() -- Playwright will only run this test from the specs.
• test.skip() -- Playwright will not run this test from the specs.
• test.fail() -- Playwright will validate and check if the test is failing. if not, then it will complain.
