BDD::Behave::Playwright

Thin glue between BDD::Behave and WWW::Playwright. It adds browser lifecycle hooks and Playwright-aware matchers to behave examples.

It contains no browser driving of its own. All of that lives in WWW::Playwright. This distribution is the layer that wires a Playwright page into a behave describe/it flow and lets you write expectations against it.

Dependency split

BDD::Behave::Playwright  ->  BDD::Behave
        |
        +----------------->  WWW::Playwright

• BDD::Behave provides the describe/context/it/expect DSL and the matcher protocol.

• WWW::Playwright drives a real browser through a long-lived Node sidecar.

• BDD::Behave::Playwright (this distribution) connects the two: it manages the browser lifecycle around each example and exposes matchers that assert on Playwright Page and Locator objects.

What the glue adds

• Lifecycle hooks that launch a browser context and page for each example and close them afterward, so examples stay isolated.

• The current page exposed to examples as a named subject.

• Matchers that reuse Playwright's auto-waiting instead of re-implementing waits.

• Failure diagnostics that capture a screenshot when an example fails.

Installation

zef install BDD::Behave::Playwright

The browser itself is provided by WWW::Playwright, which needs Node and a Playwright Chromium binary available at runtime.
