writing-tests

writing-tests is a cursor rule for Cursor from m3au/playwright-bdd-cursor-template. It costs 0 tokens per session (731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for writing automated tests in a Playwright project, including browser-based end-to-end tests and unit tests. It defines the test folders, BDD structure, and expected coverage for utilities and scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding Gherkin scenarios, page or API object models, reusable components, or unit tests in the listed challenge areas.
Why use it?
It keeps tests organized and makes new scenarios follow the repository's existing patterns instead of duplicating or misplacing test code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

writing-tests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Writing Tests

Test Organization

Tests are organized by challenge in tests/e2e/challenges/:

  • tests/e2e/challenges/uitestingplayground/ - UI testing challenges (23 scenarios)
  • tests/e2e/challenges/automationexercise/ - E-commerce challenges (15 scenarios)
  • tests/e2e/challenges/jsonplaceholder/ - API testing challenges (34 scenarios)

Each challenge contains:

  • features/ - Gherkin feature files (.feature)
  • poms/ - Page Object Models with BDD decorators
    • pages/ - Page-level POMs
    • components/ - Reusable component POMs (UITestingPlayground only)
  • services/ - API Object Models (JSONPlaceholder only)

Unit tests are in tests/unit/ and achieve 100% coverage for utilities and scripts.

Test Writing Patterns

BDD with Gherkin

Tests use Gherkin feature files with BDD decorators directly on POM methods. No separate step-definition files needed.

See tests/e2e/challenges/uitestingplayground/features/element-identification.feature and tests/e2e/challenges/automationexercise/features/product-browsing.feature for feature file examples.

See tests/e2e/challenges/uitestingplayground/poms/pages/verify-text-page.ts and tests/e2e/challenges/automationexercise/poms/pages/product-details-page.ts for POM implementation examples.

Testing Conventions

  • A: use @Fixture decorator on POM classes (see pom.mdc for details)
  • A: use Playwright's semantic locators (see playwright.mdc for locator guidance)
  • A: use expect() assertions (see playwright.mdc for assertion patterns)
  • A: use environment variables via environment('BASE_URL_*') from tests/e2e/world.ts
  • A: write independent tests - each test should be isolated
  • A: use data-driven tests with Scenario Outline: and Examples: in Gherkin when appropriate

Before Writing a Test

  • If fixing a bug, write the test first and ensure it fails (as expected) before the fix
  • Always attempt to find related tests in existing files before creating new test files
  • When expected behavior is ambiguous, defer to Playwright best practices and accessibility standards
  • For regression tests, place in appropriate challenge directory with descriptive scenario name

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

writing-tests is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository m3au/playwright-bdd-cursor-template (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 731 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
