Executing the tests

Prerequisites

To work with the tests the Theia application under test needs to be running. Please start your Theia application before running the tests.

Running the tests headless

To start the tests run yarn ui-tests in this directory. This will start the tests in a headless state. There is also a VSCode task available called Run all tests in headless mode.

To only run a single test file, the path of a test file can be set with yarn ui-tests <path-to-file> or yarn ui-tests -g "<partial test file name>". See the Playwright Test command line documentation.

Running the tests headful, reporting and debugging

Please check for additional scripts in your package.json in order to run tests in headful mode and to generate reports.

To debug a test, open the test file in the code editor and run the Debug selected test file configuration inside VS Code.
