Plan Mode | Bondar Academy
Course: Claude Code for Playwright
Module: Core Concepts
Instructor: Artem Bondar
Lesson Summary
Plan Mode Overview Plan mode is essential for managing complex tasks in application development, such as: Implementing new features Refactoring frameworks Framework migrations It is particularly useful when requirements are unclear or when the Cloud Code encounters repeated errors. When to Use Plan Mode When refining a project plan before implementation. When the Cloud session is stuck in a loop or making repeated mistakes. Demo: Implementing Playwright Framework In the demo, the objective is to integrate the Playwright framework into the Conduit application, focusing on the authentication flow. The steps include: Switching to plan mode and defining high-level tasks. Creating a spec file for user management scenarios. Exploring the application for necessary locators and interfaces. Questions and Decisions in Plan Mode During the planning process, the Cloud Code may ask questions regarding: Test Data Handling: Options include real backend, dynamic emails, or fixed test accounts. Framework Structure: Choosing between Page Object Model (POM) or flat spec files. Test Location: Deciding on the structure of test directories. Finalizing the Plan Once the plan is generated, it must be reviewed for accuracy. Key elements include: Project context and API URL Framework organization and configuration List of test scenarios After approval, the implementation can proceed, although minor adjustments may be necessary based on test results. Conclusion Plan mode is a powerful tool for preparing complex tasks, ensuring a cleaner implementation process and better alignment with project requirements.
