Setting up Copilot | Bondar Academy

Course: Playwright API Testing with TypeScript

Module: AI-Assisted Scripting with Copilot

Instructor: Artem Bondar

Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we explore how to use GitHub Copilot to enhance the efficiency of writing API tests within Visual Studio Code . The key points covered include: Setup and Activation Ensure you have the latest version of Visual Studio Code installed. Access Copilot by clicking the frog icon in the top right corner and selecting Open Chat . If prompted, authorize with your GitHub account to activate Copilot. Synchronize your GitHub account status to ensure full functionality. Managing Copilot Settings After configuration, click the frog icon again and select Manage Copilot . Enable additional models like Cloud 3.5 Sonnet for enhanced capabilities. Features of Copilot Copilot Code Complete : A smart intellisense feature that suggests code based on your typing and GitHub repository history. Copilot Chat : An interface to interact with a large language model (LLM) for coding assistance and project context. Workspace Organization You can customize the layout of Copilot Chat: Keep it on the right side (default) or move it to the left sidebar for convenience. Open it in a separate window, especially useful if using multiple monitors. This concludes the quick setup and overview of using GitHub Copilot for API testing. Stay tuned for the next lesson!
