Use `test.step()` to group interactions and improve test readability and reporting. - **Assertions**: Use auto-retrying web-first assertions. These assertions start with the `await` keyword (e.g., `await expect(locator).toHaveText()`). Avoid `expect(locator).toBeVisible()` unless specifically testing for visibility changes. - **Timeouts**: Rely on Playwright's built-in auto-waiting mechanisms. Avoid hard-coded waits or increased default timeouts. +- **Switch/Toggle Components**: Use helper functions from `tests/utils/ui-helpers.ts` (`clickSwitch`, `expectSwitchState`, `toggleSwitch`) for reliable interactions. Never use `{ force: true }` or direct clicks on hidden inputs. - **Clarity**: Use descriptive test and step titles that clearly state the intent. Add comments only to explain complex logic or non-obvious interactions. @@ -29,6 +30,45 @@ applyTo: '**' - **Element Counts**: Use `toHaveCount` to assert the number of elements found by a locator. - **Text Content**: Use `toHaveText` for exact text matches and `toContainText` for partial matches. - **Navigation**: Use `toHaveURL` to verify the page URL after an action. +- **Switch States**: Use `expectSwitchState(locator, boolean)` to verify toggle states.
