A suite of end-to-end tests for Content Modelling using Playwright.
These are separate and distinct from the tests in govuk-e2e-tests,
which are light touch smoke tests, designed to be used in production and non-production environments.
These tests test the full workflow, and create and publish content blocks and documents, and as such, should
not be used in Production.
Running the tests locally
Setup
Clone and navigate to the root folder.
Install the dependencies:
npm install
npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
Get and set environment variables
Ensure you are logged into the integration AWS environment:
eval $(gds aws govuk-integration-developer -e --art 8h)
kubectl config use-context govuk-integration
Create a .env file in the root of the project from the shared secrets:
aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id govuk/content-block-manager/e2e-secrets \
| jq '.SecretString' | jq -r 'fromjson | to_entries[] | "\(.key)=\(.value)"' > .env
Run
npm run test
Or to run with the Playwright UI:
npm run test:ui
Running in the staging environment
If you want to run the tests in the staging environment, you can change the PUBLISHING_DOMAIN and PUBLIC_DOMAIN
environment variables in the .env file to staging.publishing.service.gov.uk and
www.staging.publishing.service.gov.uk respectively. You will need to be connected to the
GDS VPN for these tests
to run correctly.
Running in Github Actions
At the moment, the tests are only run on demand - to run them, go to the Playwright action
and click “Run workflow”.
