## What it does

The skill generates `playwright.config.ts` and creates browser test files in the `e2e/` folder. When requested, it also prepares a GitHub Actions workflow. The generator inspects your repo for `web-src/` or `@adobe/uix-guest` to determine whether you run an ExC Shell SPA or an AEM extension. This skill handles browser tests only. If you need Jest unit tests for backend actions or React components, use `appbuilder-testing` instead.

Generated suites use `page.frameLocator()` to navigate ExC Shell iframes and target Spectrum components by ARIA roles rather than class names. Full ExC Shell authentication is tricky to automate in headless runs, so executing against local `aio app dev` is recommended. The setup requires Node.js 18+ and `@playwright/test`.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill appbuilder-e2e-testing -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill appbuilder-e2e-testing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill appbuilder-e2e-testing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install adobe/skills appbuilder-e2e-testing
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill appbuilder-e2e-testing -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/adobe/skills --path plugins/app-builder/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add adobe/skills --skill appbuilder-e2e-testing -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/adobe/skills/tree/HEAD/plugins/app-builder/skills/appbuilder-e2e-testing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure Playwright for SPAs running inside Adobe Experience Cloud Shell
- test AEM UI extensions inside nested iframes using ARIA locators
- stub backend action calls with `page.route()` for predictable assertions
- generate GitHub Actions workflows for headless browser testing in CI

## Example prompts
- Add Playwright E2E tests for our ExC Shell SPA
- Write browser tests for the AEM extension and configure GitHub Actions
- Create an end-to-end test with mocked backend actions using page.route

  Use this skill whenever the user wants browser-based end-to-end tests for an Adobe App Builder
  application. Covers Playwright E2E testing for ExC Shell SPAs, AEM extension UIs, and full-stack
  flows. Use when the user mentions: "E2E test", "end-to-end test", "Playwright", "browser test",
  "test my SPA in the browser", "test my AEM extension", "test the full flow", "integration test
  with UI", "headless browser test", "E2E in CI".
  This skill is for BROWSER-based testing only. For Jest unit tests of actions or React components,
  use appbuilder-testing instead.

# App Builder E2E Testing

Playwright-based browser E2E testing for Adobe App Builder SPAs and AEM extensions. This skill generates Playwright configs, test files, and CI workflows for browser-level validation.

## Pattern Quick-Reference

Identify the user's intent, then read the referenced sections to generate tailored tests.

| User wants | Reference | Asset |
| --- | --- | --- |
| E2E test for ExC Shell SPA | `references/e2e-testing-patterns.md` | `assets/playwright.config.ts`, `assets/e2e-test-template.spec.ts` |
| Test AEM extension in browser | `references/aem-extension-testing.md` | `assets/playwright.config.ts` |
| E2E tests in CI pipeline | `references/ci-integration.md` | `assets/e2e-ci-workflow.yml` |

## Fast Path (for clear requests)

When the user says "add E2E tests" or "write Playwright tests" and intent is clear:

1. Scan project for `web-src/` (SPA) or `@adobe/uix-guest` in dependencies (AEM extension)
2. Install Playwright if not present: `npm install -D @playwright/test && npx playwright install chromium`
3. Generate `playwright.config.ts` from `assets/playwright.config.ts`
4. For ExC Shell SPA: read `references/e2e-testing-patterns.md`, generate test with iframe navigation, shell wait, Spectrum ARIA selectors
5. For AEM extension: read `references/aem-extension-testing.md`, generate test with Extension Tester URL, nested iframe handling, modal flows
6. Run tests: `npx playwright test`
7. If CI requested: generate GitHub Actions workflow from `assets/e2e-ci-workflow.yml`

## Quick Reference

- **Test directory:** `e2e/` at project root (separate from Jest `test/`)
- **Config file:** `playwright.config.ts` at project root
- **Install command:** `npm install -D @playwright/test && npx playwright install chromium` (installs Playwright + Chromium browser)
- **Run command:** `npx playwright test` (headless) or `npx playwright test --headed` (visible browser)
- **Debug command:** `npx playwright test --debug` (step-through mode)
```
