| 1 | +# Custom Test Integration |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This guide explains how to integrate `playwright-api-spy` with custom test objects, such as those extended by other libraries like `playwright-relay`, `playwright-bdd`, or your own custom fixtures. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## The Problem |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +By default, `playwright-api-spy` intercepts the built-in `request` fixture from Playwright. However, when you extend `test` through other libraries, the `request` fixture might not be properly intercepted: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```typescript |
| 10 | +// playwright-relay exports its own test |
| 11 | +import { test as relayTest } from 'playwright-relay'; |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +// Extending with your fixtures |
| 14 | +export const test = relayTest.extend<MyFixtures>({ |
| 15 | + rawApi: async ({ request }, use) => { |
| 16 | + await use(request); // This request is NOT wrapped by api-spy! |
| 17 | + }, |
| 18 | + api: async ({ rawApi }, use) => { |
| 19 | + await use(new MyApi(rawApi)); |
| 20 | + }, |
| 21 | +}); |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +**Result:** Requests made through `api` are not logged by `playwright-api-spy`. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Solutions |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Solution 1: `extendWithApiSpy(baseTest)` |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +The easiest approach - extend any test object with API Spy capabilities: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```typescript |
| 33 | +import { test as relayTest } from 'playwright-relay'; |
| 34 | +import { extendWithApiSpy } from 'playwright-api-spy'; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +// Step 1: Extend relay with api-spy |
| 37 | +const testWithSpy = extendWithApiSpy(relayTest); |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +// Step 2: Extend with your fixtures |
| 40 | +export const test = testWithSpy.extend<MyFixtures>({ |
| 41 | + settings: async ({}, use) => { |
| 42 | + await use(getSettings()); |
| 43 | + }, |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + // rawApi now uses the wrapped request automatically! |
| 46 | + rawApi: async ({ request }, use) => { |
| 47 | + await use(request); |
| 48 | + }, |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + api: async ({ rawApi }, use) => { |
| 51 | + await use(new MyApi(rawApi)); |
| 52 | + }, |
| 53 | +}); |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +export { expect } from '@playwright/test'; |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +This automatically: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- Creates an `apiSpy` fixture |
| 61 | +- Wraps the `request` fixture with API Spy interception |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Solution 2: `extendWithApiSpyFixture(baseTest)` + `wrapWithApiSpy()` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +For more control over which contexts are wrapped: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +```typescript |
| 68 | +import { test as relayTest } from 'playwright-relay'; |
| 69 | +import { extendWithApiSpyFixture, wrapWithApiSpy } from 'playwright-api-spy'; |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +// Add only the apiSpy fixture (without auto-wrapping request) |
| 72 | +const testWithSpy = extendWithApiSpyFixture(relayTest); |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +export const test = testWithSpy.extend<MyFixtures>({ |
| 75 | + // Manually wrap specific fixtures |
| 76 | + rawApi: async ({ request, apiSpy }, use) => { |
| 77 | + const wrapped = wrapWithApiSpy(request, apiSpy); |
| 78 | + await use(wrapped); |
| 79 | + }, |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + // This one is NOT wrapped |
| 82 | + internalApi: async ({ request }, use) => { |
| 83 | + await use(request); |
| 84 | + }, |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | + api: async ({ rawApi }, use) => { |
| 87 | + await use(new MyApi(rawApi)); |
| 88 | + }, |
| 89 | +}); |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### Solution 3: Manual Setup with `ApiSpyInstance` |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +For complete control, create your own spy instance: |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +```typescript |
| 97 | +import { test as relayTest } from 'playwright-relay'; |
| 98 | +import { |
| 99 | + ApiSpyInstance, |
| 100 | + getApiSpyConfig, |
| 101 | + wrapWithApiSpy, |
| 102 | + globalApiSpyStore |
| 103 | +} from 'playwright-api-spy'; |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +export const test = relayTest.extend<MyFixtures>({ |
| 106 | + apiSpy: async ({}, use, testInfo) => { |
| 107 | + // Create spy with config from withApiSpy() |
| 108 | + const config = getApiSpyConfig(); |
| 109 | + const spy = new ApiSpyInstance(config); |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + spy.setTestInfo({ |
| 112 | + title: testInfo.title, |
| 113 | + file: testInfo.file, |
| 114 | + line: testInfo.line, |
| 115 | + }); |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | + await use(spy); |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | + // Add entries to global store for report generation |
| 120 | + const entries = spy.getEntriesForReport(); |
| 121 | + globalApiSpyStore.addEntries(entries); |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | + // Optionally attach to Playwright report |
| 124 | + if (config.attachToPlaywrightReport && entries.length > 0) { |
| 125 | + await testInfo.attach('api-spy-requests', { |
| 126 | + body: Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(entries, null, 2)), |
| 127 | + contentType: 'application/json', |
| 128 | + }); |
| 129 | + } |
| 130 | + }, |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | + rawApi: async ({ request, apiSpy }, use) => { |
| 133 | + const wrapped = wrapWithApiSpy(request, apiSpy); |
| 134 | + await use(wrapped); |
| 135 | + }, |
| 136 | +}); |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | + |

| 209 | + |
| 210 | + expect(user.id).toBeDefined(); |
| 211 | + |

| 217 | + |
| 218 | +## API Reference |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +### `extendWithApiSpy(baseTest)` |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +Extends a test object with both `apiSpy` fixture and wrapped `request` fixture. |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +```typescript |
| 225 | +function extendWithApiSpy<TestArgs, WorkerArgs>( |
| 226 | + baseTest: TestType<TestArgs, WorkerArgs> |
| 227 | +): TestType<TestArgs & ApiSpyFixtures, WorkerArgs> |
| 228 | +``` |
| 229 | + |
| 230 | +### `extendWithApiSpyFixture(baseTest)` |
| 231 | + |
| 232 | +Extends a test object with only the `apiSpy` fixture (no auto-wrapping of request). |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | +```typescript |
| 235 | +function extendWithApiSpyFixture<TestArgs, WorkerArgs>( |
| 236 | + baseTest: TestType<TestArgs, WorkerArgs> |
| 237 | +): TestType<TestArgs & ApiSpyFixtures, WorkerArgs> |
| 238 | +``` |
| 239 | + |
| 240 | +### `wrapWithApiSpy(context, spy)` |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | +Wraps an `APIRequestContext` with API Spy interception. |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +```typescript |
| 245 | +function wrapWithApiSpy( |
| 246 | + apiContext: APIRequestContext, |
| 247 | + spy: ApiSpy | ApiSpyInstance |
| 248 | +): APIRequestContext |
| 249 | +``` |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +### `getApiSpyConfig()` |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +Gets the current API Spy configuration from the global store (set via `withApiSpy()`). |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +```typescript |
| 256 | +function getApiSpyConfig(): Required<ApiSpyConfig> |
| 257 | +``` |
| 258 | + |
| 259 | +### `ApiSpyInstance` |
| 260 | + |
| 261 | +The main class for capturing requests. Can be instantiated manually for custom setups. |
| 262 | + |
| 263 | +```typescript |
| 264 | +class ApiSpyInstance implements ApiSpy { |
| 265 | + constructor(config?: ApiSpyConfig); |
| 266 | + setTestInfo(info: { title: string; file: string; line?: number }): void; |
| 267 | + captureRequest(method: string, url: string, options?: {...}): Promise<CapturedRequest | null>; |
| 268 | + captureResponse(request: CapturedRequest, response: {...}, duration: number): Promise<void>; |
| 269 | + captureError(request: CapturedRequest, error: Error): Promise<void>; |
| 270 | + getEntriesForReport(): CapturedEntry[]; |
| 271 | + // ... and more |
| 272 | +} |
| 273 | +``` |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +### `globalApiSpyStore` |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +Global store for configuration and captured entries. Used internally by the reporter. |
| 278 | + |
| 279 | +```typescript |
| 280 | +const globalApiSpyStore: { |
| 281 | + config: Required<ApiSpyConfig>; |
| 282 | + setConfig(config: Required<ApiSpyConfig>): void; |
| 283 | + addEntries(entries: CapturedEntry[]): void; |
| 284 | + getAllEntries(): CapturedEntry[]; |
| 285 | + reset(): void; |
| 286 | + clear(): void; |
| 287 | +} |
| 288 | +``` |
