playwright-ui5

playwright-ui5 provides custom selector engines for Playwright, enabling developers to write automated tests for SAPUI5 applications. It bridges the gap between Playwright's native selectors and SAPUI5's control tree, offering specialized syntax tailored for UI5's component structure.

Key Features

• CSS Selector Engine — Supports type selectors, attribute selectors, ID selectors, and pseudo-classes like :has, with syntax adapted for UI5 control types (e.g., sap.m.Button).
• XPath Selector Engine — Full XPath 3.1 support via Fontoxpath, allowing complex queries with custom functions like ui5:property to access UI5 control properties.
• Flexible Property Access — Enables targeting UI5 controls by properties (e.g., text, visibility) not available as standard DOM attributes, using functions like ui5:property.
• Debugging Tools — Includes ui5:debug-xml function to output the UI5 control tree as XML for troubleshooting selector issues.
• Compatibility — Integrates seamlessly with Playwright's selector registration system and supports both Node.js and Python versions of Playwright.

Philosophy

The project prioritizes flexibility and performance, offering two selector engines to match different testing preferences while ensuring accurate interaction with SAPUI5's dynamic control structures.
