Create Playwright Test Data

create-playwright-test-data

Read @.ai/Component/Playwright/CONTEXT.md for the stack and data patterns.

Faker data classes and predefined data objects live in the ui-testing-library, not in the core repo.

1. Faker data class

Create Faker{Domain} in the ui-testing-library:

• Constructor accepts optional overrides: new FakerTax({enabled: false})
• Default values use Faker for randomized but realistic data
• Properties match the entity fields (name, active, rate, etc.)
• Multilingual fields include values for at least EN and FR

// Usage in campaigns:
const createTaxData: FakerTax = new FakerTax();
const editTaxData: FakerTax = new FakerTax({enabled: false});

Reference: check existing Faker classes in the ui-testing-library (e.g. FakerTax, FakerProduct)

2. Predefined data objects

Create data{Domain} objects referencing demo install fixtures:

// Usage in campaigns:
import {dataTaxes} from '@prestashop-core/ui-testing';
dataTaxes.DefaultFrTax.id;
dataTaxes.DefaultFrTax.name;

These reference entities that exist in the vanilla PrestaShop installation — useful for tests that filter/sort existing data rather than creating new entities.

3. Local data files (if needed)

For campaign-specific data that doesn't fit in the library, create tests/UI/data/{domain}.ts in the core repo:

• XML test data in tests/UI/data/xml/
• TypeScript data-driven test arrays for forEach patterns

Rules

Conventions (no random data in assertions, deterministic Faker values) are in [Playwright/CONTEXT.md](../../CONTEXT.md). Skill-specific reminders:

• Faker classes and predefined data live in the ui-testing-library, not the core repo
• Faker defaults should produce valid entities — a bare new Faker{Domain}() must pass validation
• Predefined data references demo install fixtures — don't assume entities exist that aren't in the standard install
