Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
run npm init playwright@latest -- --ct to scaffold a playwright-ct.config.ts and install @playwright/experimental-ct-vue plus dependencies
register the Vue plugin (e.g. vue()) in the Vite config used by the component testing config, since framework plugins are not auto-detected
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/experimental-ct-vue' and use the mount fixture to mount a component in isolation
pass props, slots, and event handlers to mount() and assert on the rendered output using standard Playwright locators
run the component tests with the ct-specific playwright test command and inspect results in the normal HTML report
Known gotchas
the package is explicitly experimental and does not follow semver, so upgrades can introduce breaking changes between minor versions
component tests run in a real browser via a small Vite-bundled harness, not jsdom, so browser-only APIs behave correctly but bundling misconfiguration is a common failure point
