basi

basi allow users and developers to author and run Playwright actions using a simple configuration file with less code. Browser automation steps are written in .basi files.

The goal is for the .basi file DSL to be simple enough to hand over to non-technical users.

NOTE: basi is still in very early development. There are no guarantees about API or feature stability.

Using basi	Using Playwright with Node JS

Installation

Download a binary from the GitHub Releases and place it on your $PATH.

NOTE: basi depends on Playwright and needs to download some browsers and tools if playwright if it is not already installed. You will notice this the first time you run the test/files

If you want to contribute or build from the source code see the Building section

Once installed you can then run it :

$ basi --help

Example usage

Create a file named example-hn.basi file with the following content:

Goto "https://news.ycombinator.com/login"
Fill "input[name=acct]" "throwaway-username" 
Fill "input[name=pw]" "fakepassword"
Click "input[value=login]"
Screenshot "body" "./test-screenshot.png"

You can now run the file using basi, like so:

$ basi run example-hn.basi

You can use Find to select an element to run assertions on it

Goto "https://github.com/"
Find "Build and ship software on a single, collaborative platform"
ExpectId "hero-section-brand-heading"
Screenshot "body" "./data/test-github.png"

You can setup metadata/configuration for each run in a frontmatter section

ID            : "A random ID to identify the run"
URL           : "https://nndi.cloud/"
Title         : "Navigate to home on nndi"
Headless      : "yes"
Description   : "Navigates to the NNDI website and clicks the Home link"
---
Goto "/"
Click "#navbar > ul > li.active > a"
ExpectAttr "data-nav-section" "home"
Screenshot "body" "./test-nndi.png"
