playwright-component-testing

A way to test React or Vue components in isolation with Playwright, a browser-testing tool. It uses small example wrappers called stories and a gallery page to show each scenario.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create component stories, display them in a test gallery, and write regular Playwright tests for clicks, forms, states, and other component behavior.
Why use it?
It lets you test components without a separate component-testing runner, bundler integration, or extra packages.

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

playwright-component-testing 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 yesterday.

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.

Component Testing with Playwright

Test components with regular Playwright e2e tests against a small story gallery page hosted by the app's own dev server. No extra test runner, bundler integration or npm packages are required.

Concept

  • A story is a tiny wrapper component that embeds the component under test in one specific scenario: hard-coded props, mock data, providers, recorded callbacks. Stories live next to the component in *.story.tsx (or .ts/.jsx/.js/.vue) files; each named export is one story.
  • The gallery is a single page you implement to references/gallery-spec.md: it exposes window.mount(params) / window.unmount() that render a story — resolved from your story files (e.g. with import.meta.glob) — into #root. It is framework-specific and yours to own — there is no template to copy for it.
  • Tests are plain Playwright tests. The built-in mount(storyId, props?) fixture (from @playwright/test) drives the gallery's window.mount and returns a Locator for the gallery root (#root). Scope the queries from there — component.getByRole('button').click(), not component.click(). Nothing to scaffold for it.

Everything the component needs must be set up inside the story (it runs in the browser); everything the test asserts must be observable through the page (DOM, URL, network). Where the component takes callbacks, the story creates the state, provides the callbacks and records the state into a hidden form for the test to assert on. mount(id, props) passes plain serializable props to the story.

Setup workflow

  1. Detect the framework and bundler. React vs Vue decides the framework notes and example story to follow. Then:
    • App runs on Vite (has vite.config.*): the gallery is served by the existing dev server at /playwright/gallery/index.html — Vite serves any .html file under the project root, the app's plugins/aliases/CSS apply automatically, and vite build ignores it. No extra server needed.
    • Anything else (Next.js, webpack, no dev server): run a small standalone dev server (e.g. Vite) that serves the gallery page, and point baseURL at it. Requires vite and the framework plugin as devDependencies.
  2. Implement the gallery to references/gallery-spec.md: a page at <project>/playwright/gallery/ that renders the requested story into #root. Start from the worked example in the spec and the framework notes in references/react.md / references/vue.md. Keep story discovery (import.meta.glob) and the framework mount here — this is the only framework-specific glue, so keep it small. Import the app's global CSS the same way the app's own entry does.
  3. Configure Playwright — add to playwright.config.ts:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
