README

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

Set environment variables

Create a .env file in the root of the project with the following content:

cat <<EOF > .env
PUBLISHING_DOMAIN=staging.publishing.service.gov.uk
PUBLIC_DOMAIN=www.staging.publishing.service.gov.uk
BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME=<username>
BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=<password>
SIGNON_EMAIL=<email>
SIGNON_PASSWORD=<password>
NOTIFY_API_KEY=<api_key>
EMAIL_ALERT_EMAIL=<email_alert_email>
EMAIL_ALERT_PASSWORD<email_alert_password>
EOF

Replace placeholders with appropriate values.

Run

npm run test

Running in Github Actions
