pytest-axe-playwright-snapshot

A pytest plugin that runs Axe-core on Playwright pages and takes snapshots of the results.

Installation

1. Install the plugin:

   python3 -m pip install pytest-axe-playwright-snapshot
   

2. Install Playwright browsers:

   python3 -m playwright install --with-deps
   

Usage

In your tests, use the page fixture from pytest-playwright along with our plugin'saxe_pytest_snapshot fixture. Once you've navigated to a page, call axe_pytest_snapshot with the page fixture as an argument:

from playwright.sync_api import Page

def test_violations(page: Page, axe_pytest_snapshot):
    page.goto("https://www.example.com")
    axe_pytest_snapshot(page)

When you run a test for the first time, you must tell it explicitly to save a snapshot:

pytest --snapshot-update

The plugin will take a snapshot of the page and save it to a file in the snapshots directory. The snapshot directory will be named after the test function, and the file will be named 'violations.txt'.

On subsequent runs, the plugin will compare the latest snapshot against the snapshot and report any difference in the violations.
