Module: Building a Framework
Instructor: Artem Bondar
Lesson Summary
This lesson focuses on enhancing the HTML reporter by reducing redundant steps displayed in the report. The goal is to streamline the output for better readability. Key Improvements Identified unnecessary repetition of API response details in the report. Modified the request handler to improve reporting. Steps to Enhance the Reporter Run the test to observe the current report structure. Import the test function from the Playwright library: import { test } from 'playwright-test'; Add a test step for each request type (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). Define the step name and URL to be displayed in the reporter: test.step('GET request to ', async () => { ... }); Create a variable for response JSON to manage response data effectively. Repeat the process for all request methods to ensure consistency. Results After implementing these changes, the report becomes cleaner, displaying only the essential information: Clear indication of request types (e.g., POST, GET, PUT). Visible URLs associated with each request. Streamlined assertions for easier reading. This enhancement leads to a more efficient and user-friendly reporting experience. See you in the next lesson!
