# Web Application Testing To test local web applications, write native Python Playwright scripts. **Helper Scripts Available**: - `scripts/with_server.py` - Manages server lifecycle (supports multiple servers) **Always run scripts with `--help` first** to see usage. DO NOT read the source until you try running the script first and find that a customized solution is abslutely necessary. These scripts can be very large and thus pollute your context window. They exist to be called directly as black-box scripts rather than ingested into your context window. ## Decision Tree: Choosing Your Approach ``` User task → Is it static HTML? ├─ Yes → Read HTML file directly to identify selectors │ ├─ Success → Write Playwright script using selectors │ └─ Fails/Incomplete → Treat as dynamic (below) │ └─ No (dynamic webapp) → Is the server already running? ├─ No → Run: python scripts/with_server.py --help │ Then use the helper + write simplified Playwright script │ └─ Yes → Reconnaissance-then-action: 1. Navigate and wait for networkidle 2. Take screenshot or inspect DOM 3. Identify selectors from rendered state 4. Execute actions with discovered selectors ``` ## Example: Using with_server.py To start a server, run `--help` first, then use the helper: **Single server:** ```bash python scripts/with_server.py --server "npm run dev" --port 5173 -- python your_automa...
