Playwright Documentation

Hey guys, I noticed you dont have much on playwright documentation so I thought Id share my setup to help others:

auth.setup.ts

import { test as setup } from '@playwright/test';
import { config } from '../config';
import Clerk from '@clerk/clerk-js';

type ClerkType = typeof Clerk;

const authFile = 'playwright/.auth/user.json';

setup('authenticate', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto(config.HOST)
  await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle')

  const data = {
    strategy: 'password',
    identifier: process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_E2E_USER_EMAIL || '',
    password: process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_E2E_USER_PASSWORD || '',
  }
  
  await page.evaluate(async data => {
    // wait function as promise
    const wait = (ms: number) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

    const wdw = window as Window & typeof globalThis & { Clerk: ClerkType };

    /** clear the cookies */
    document.cookie.split(";").forEach(function(c) { document.cookie = c.replace(/^ +/, "").replace(/=.*/, "=;expires=" + new Date().toUTCString() + ";path=/"); });

    const clerkIsReady = (window: Window & typeof globalThis & { Clerk: ClerkType }) => {
      return wdw.Clerk && wdw.Clerk.isReady();
    }

    while (!clerkIsReady(wdw)) {
      await wait(100);
    }

    const res = await wdw.Clerk.client?.signIn.create(data);

    if (!res) {
      throw new Error(`Failed to sign in`);
    }
    
    await wdw.Clerk.setActive({
      session: res.createdSessionId,
    });


  }, data);


  await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });

});

playwright.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
 ...
 projects: [
    { name: 'setup', testMatch: /.*\.setup\.ts/ },
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: { 
        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
        storageState: 'playwright/.auth/user.json',
      },
      dependencies: ['setup'],
    },
    ...
]

We now have docs explaining how to use Playwright to test your Clerk app: https://clerk.com/docs/testing/playwright.

@achadee does it satisfy your needs?

@agis I followed the doc: https://clerk.com/docs/testing/playwright. And it seems like it can only bypass the bot detection. With the setup, my clerk app still asks me to sign-in. Is there a way to bypass the sign-in process and access to protected page (not API)?
