FAQ
How do I run the helper scripts?
To run the helper scripts, always use the '--help' flag first. This will provide you with usage instructions. For example, run 'python scripts/with_server.py --help' to see how to manage the server lifecycle.
Can I use this tool for both static and dynamic web applications?
Yes, this skill is suitable for both static HTML pages and dynamic web applications. The toolkit provides specific steps for handling each type, such as directly reading HTML for static apps or managing server lifecycles for dynamic apps.
Are there any specific compatibility requirements?
This skill requires Python and Playwright to be installed, and it is intended for use with local web applications. It supports a variety of configurations, such as running multiple servers simultaneously for backend and frontend testing.
What are the common pitfalls when using this skill?
A common mistake is inspecting the DOM before ensuring that the page has fully loaded. Always wait for 'networkidle' using 'page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle')' before inspecting or interacting with the page.
Do I need to manage the server manually?
No, the 'scripts/with_server.py' helps manage the server lifecycle automatically. You can run multiple servers as needed for backend and frontend testing without manual configuration.
