Playwright Proof of Concept Setup Notes

Set up working environment

• To make playwright work locally you must run the following powershell command from the ‘PlaywrightTests’ project : pwsh bin/Debug/net6.0/playwright.ps1 install

• More here Installation | Playwright .NET

Toggling fake authentication

*NOTE: This step is already done and deployed to rsig-playwright.azure.net , but will be important to run the tests locally in the future *

• In order to test with playwright we must fake an authenticated user. This can be done with the FakeAuthenticationStateProvider class within our codebase.

• The following changes must be made to program.cs:

  • Remove the following line:

    • options.FallbackPolicy = options.DefaultPolicy;

  • Add the following line anywhere in the file before “app.UseAuthentication()” :

    • builder.Services.AddScoped<AuthenticationStateProvider, FakeAuthenticationStateProvider>();
