e2e-testing-patterns

e2e-testing-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vladolaru/claude-code-plugins. It costs 43 tokens per session (934 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for Playwright end-to-end tests, which test an application through a real browser. It covers locating page elements, waiting for changes, intercepting network requests, and WordPress or WooCommerce helpers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or review Playwright tests that check complete user journeys in websites and online stores.
Why use it?
It helps browser tests behave more reliably and makes common testing tasks easier to structure. This reduces flaky tests caused by timing or fragile element selectors.

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

e2e-testing-patterns 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill Directory

Resolve SKILL_DIR to the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md, as shown by the current host, before using any bundled path below. Before a shell command uses $SKILL_DIR, assign it in that command or replace it with the resolved path. It is not a host-exported environment variable.

E2E Testing Patterns

Playwright end-to-end testing patterns. For shared test quality principles (philosophy, smells, mocking decisions), see testing-patterns.

Reference Routing

Need Reference File Sections to Read
Playwright + E2E patterns $SKILL_DIR/../testing-patterns/references/playwright-patterns.md Full file (~461L, manageable)
Behavior vs implementation $SKILL_DIR/../testing-patterns/references/test-philosophy.md ## The Fundamental Shift + ## Four Core Principles

Mock usage decisions $SKILL_DIR/../testing-patterns/references/mocking-strategies.md ## The Mocking Decision Framework
Test layer strategy $SKILL_DIR/../testing-patterns/references/test-layers.md ## The Three Layers + ## Choosing the Right Layer

How to read sections: Grep for heading to find line number, Read with offset+limit.

Locator Priority (Best to Worst)

  1. page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }) — accessible, resilient
  2. page.getByLabel('Email') — form elements
  3. page.getByText('Welcome') — visible content
  4. page.getByTestId('checkout-form') — explicit test hooks
  5. page.locator('.class') / #id — last resort, fragile

E2E Quick Reference

Use Instead Of Why
await expect(locator).toBeVisible() page.waitForTimeout(2000) Auto-waits, deterministic
page.getByRole() page.locator('.btn') Resilient to CSS changes
Page Object Model Inline selectors Reusable, single source of truth
page.route() for external APIs Real HTTP calls Fast, deterministic, no rate limits
Config-based URLs http://localhost:8080 Works across environments
toHaveScreenshot({ maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.01 }) toMatchSnapshot() Tolerates rendering differences
test.describe() grouping Flat test structure Logical organization
await before all assertions Missing await Playwright assertions are async

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.
