Run acceptance tests

Run acceptance tests#

Run acceptance and accessibility tests against the same Plone acceptance backend and Volto frontend.

  1. Install Chromium.

    make -C frontend install-playwright

  2. Start the acceptance backend in one terminal.

    make acceptance-backend-dev-start

  3. Start the frontend in another terminal.

    make acceptance-frontend-dev-start

  4. Open the Playwright interactive runner.

    make acceptance-test

To run headlessly against those servers, use make -C frontend ci-acceptance-test. To start acceptance containers, run the suite, and stop the containers, use make ci-acceptance-test from the repository root.

Run accessibility tests#

Start the same acceptance servers, then open the accessibility suite:

make acceptance-a11y-test

To run it headlessly, run these commands from the repository root:

cd frontend
pnpm test:acceptance acceptance/tests/a11y.test.ts

The accessibility fixture imports the example content once per worker and reuses it across the read-only checks. You do not need a separate backend image or persistent demo site.

Run visual regression tests#

Use the separate visual and storybook Playwright projects for screenshot comparisons. See Visual regression tests for their server setup and baseline workflows.
