# Playwright & Jest

Jest-Playwright allows you to run tests with Jest on browsers controlled with Playwright.

The `jest-playwright-preset` package has been deprecated by its maintainers, who recommend migrating to Playwright's own test runner. If you are starting a new project, use [Playwright Test](https://testingbot.com/support/web-automate/playwright/playwright-test) instead. This page is kept for existing Jest suites.

To get started, please install the package. `jest-playwright-preset` requires Jest 29, so pin it rather than taking the latest Jest:

```bash
npm init && npm install -D jest@29 jest-playwright-preset playwright
```

Next, specify these settings in your Jest configuration file (`jest.config.js`):

```javascript
module.exports = {
  rootDir: '.',
  testTimeout: 20000,
  testMatch: [
    '<rootDir>/*.spec.js'
  ],
  preset: 'jest-playwright-preset'
}
```

## Configure Jest-Playwright

To configure Jest Playwright, please create a new file called `jest-playwright.config.js` and add this to the file:

```javascript
module.exports = {
    connectOptions: {
        wsEndpoint: 'wss://cloud.testingbot.com/playwright?key=api_key&secret=api_secret&browserName=edge&browserVersion=latest'
    }
}
```

This instructs Jest Playwright to connect to the TestingBot browser grid and use the latest Edge browser. Without a `wsEndpoint`, the preset launches a browser on your own machine instead.

If your `package.json` sets `"type": "module"`, name the file `jest-playwright.config.cjs` instead. The preset picks the extension based on your package type. You can also point at any path with the `JEST_PLAYWRIGHT_CONFIG` environment variable.

## Run your first test

To create a test, create a new file called `sample.spec.js` and add this to the file:

```javascript
describe('Google', () => {
  beforeAll(async () => {
    await page.goto('https://google.com')
  })

  it('should display google text on page', async () => {
    await expect(page).toMatch('google')
  })
})
```

Now you can run your first test with Playwright on the TestingBot cloud:

```bash
jest
```

This will open Google in an Edge browser and verify if the word 'google' is on the page.

You should see something like this in your terminal after running the command:

```
PASS ./sample.spec.js (6.503s)
  Google
    ✓ should display google text on page (81ms)

Test Suites: 1 passed, 1 total
Tests: 1 passed, 1 total
```

This test will also appear in your [Member Dashboard](https://testingbot.com/members).
