Modern E2E Testing with Playwright

Test your Electron app end-to-end using Playwright, the modern successor to Spectron, automating real windows and asserting on UI behavior.

Why Playwright for Electron

Spectron is deprecated. Playwright has first-class Electron support and drives your real app like a user would.

Installing Playwright

Add Playwright as a dev dependency. Its test runner and Electron launcher come bundled.

npm install --save-dev @playwright/test
