Keypress and GET Request API testing in Playwright Java

Tutorial 16​​ ​​ Keypress​​ and GET Request API testing​​ in Playwright​​ Java​​ 

What you will Learn​​ in this​​ blog:

  • Keypress in​​ playwright-java

  • Automate API GET Request​​ (status code 200)

  • Automate API GET Request (status code 404)

  • Code snippets

Keypress​​ in Playwright-Java

Launch​​ https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/key_presses​​ ​​ ​​ 

Bring​​ cursor in the highlighted text area and press ‘Tab’ key. We notice​​ the text​​ ‘You Entered: TAB’ written below the text field

Let us see how we can automate this use case.

Let us inspect the tet area, notice that it can be located using the ‘id​​ #target’​​ 

Playwright​​ has​​ ‘press’​​ method that we can use to simulate pressing a key

These are some of the keys that we can in with the method

We will identify ‘key Presses’ using its text​​ (line#18)

We then​​ select​​ the text area​​ using​​ its​​ css selector #target​​ and​​ call​​ the​​ ‘F1’​​ key (line#19)

Save and execute.​​ 

Notice below​​ that​​ F1 key was pressed

Similarly, we can try with other keys.

Automate API GET Request​​ (status code 200)

Launch​​ https://reqres.in/​​ 

Click GET request shown against SINGLE USER.​​ 

Notice that the response is 200 (viz the GET request was successfully processed by the server)

Also notice the ‘Request’ uri that is shown above​​ viz​​ /api/users/2.

Let us see how to validate the response​​ status​​ using PW.

Our url is composed of ‘base url’ plus ‘uri’

So our script looks like below

Save and execute.

Notice the console showing​​ status code 200

Automate API GET Request (status code 404)

Let us now test below api having response code of 404

Below would be our script

Save and execute.

Notice the console showing status code 404

This is how we test​​ Get​​ APIs.

Refer​​ https://playwright.dev/java/docs/api/class-response​​ further for official documentation on API

Code snippet (keyress)

package​​ com.w2a.pwjava;

 

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Browser;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserContext;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserType;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Page;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;

 

public​​ class​​ KeypressPW {

public​​ static​​ void​​ main(String[]​​ args) {

 Playwright​​ pw​​ = Playwright.create();

 Browser​​ browser​​ =​​ pw.chromium().launch(new​​ BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false));

 

 BrowserContext​​ browserContext​​ =​​ browser.newContext();

 Page​​ page​​ =​​ browserContext.newPage();

page.navigate("https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/");

page.locator("text=Key Presses").click();

page.press("#target","F1");

 }

 

}

 

Code snippet (api get request)

package​​ com.w2a.pwjava;

 

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Browser;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserContext;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.BrowserType;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Page;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Playwright;

import​​ com.microsoft.playwright.Response;

 

public​​ class​​ APIGetReqPW {

public​​ static​​ void​​ main(String[]​​ args) {

 Playwright​​ pw​​ = Playwright.create();

 Browser​​ browser​​ =​​ pw.chromium().launch(new​​ BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false));

 

 BrowserContext​​ browserContext​​ =​​ browser.newContext();

 Page​​ page​​ =​​ browserContext.newPage();

/*

 //for status 200

 Response response = page.navigate("https://reqres.in/api/users/2");

 System.out.println(response.status());

 */

//for status 404

 Response​​ response​​ =​​ page.navigate("https://reqres.in/api/users/23");

 System.out.println(response.status());

 }

 

}
