Catalyst Playwright

This repository provides additional end-to-end tests built with Playwright for the Catalyst stack of BigCommerce, complementing the core test suite with additional behavioural tests and multilanguage support.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have a working Catalyst environment set up

Installation

1. Clone the repository inside /packages/:

   cd /path/to/catalyst
   git clone https://github.com/thebigrick/catalyst-e2e-tests ./packages/catalyst-e2e-tests

2. Install project dependencies:

   cd /path/to/catalyst
   pnpm install

3. Add BIGCOMMERCE_AUTH_TOKEN to .env:

   BIGCOMMERCE_AUTH_TOKEN=your-auth-token

   Required for BigCommerce API test data like test customers. Skip this step to bypass BigCommerce API-dependent tests.

   IMPORTANT: Only provide BIGCOMMERCE_AUTH_TOKEN in non-production environments.

Usage

Start your Catalyst environment:

cd /path/to/catalyst
pnpm run dev

This launches the Playwright test environment alongside Catalyst.
