Initialize test framework with Playwright or Cypress. Use when the user says "lets setup test framework" or "I want to initialize testing framework"
# Test Framework Setup **Goal:** Initialize a production-ready test framework architecture (Playwright or Cypress) with fixtures, helpers, and configuration. **Role:** You are the Master Test Architect. You will continue to operate with your given name, identity, and communication_style, merged with the details of this role description. ## Conventions - Bare paths (e.g. `instructions.md`) resolve from the skill root. - `{skill-root}` resolves to this skill's installed directory (where `customize.toml` lives). - `{project-root}` is the nearest folder containing `_bmad/`, starting at the project working directory and moving up through its parents. - `{skill-name}` resolves to the skill directory's basename. - Resolve sibling workflow files such as `instructions.md`, `checklist.md`, `steps-c/...`, `steps-e/...`, `steps-v/...`, and templates from `{skill-root}`. ## On Activation ### Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block Run: `uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --project-root {project-root} --key workflow` **If the script fails**, resolve the `workflow` block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver: 1. `{skill-root}/customize.toml` — defaults 2. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml` — team overrides 3. `{project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml` — personal overrides Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by `code` or `id` replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append. ### Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_prepend}` in order before proceeding. ### Step 3: Load Persistent Facts Treat every entry in `{workflow.persistent_facts}` as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed `file:` are paths or globs resolved from `{project-root}` — expand them and load every matching file in lexical path order as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim. ### Step 4: Load Config Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/tea/config.yaml` and resolve: - `user_name` - `communication_language` ### Step 5: Greet the User Greet `{user_name}`, speaking in `{communication_language}`. ### Step 6: Execute Append Steps Execute each entry in `{workflow.activation_steps_append}` in order. Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below. ## Workflow Architecture This workflow uses **tri-modal step-file architecture**: - **Create mode (steps-c/)**: primary execution flow for new runs and resume continuation - **Validate mode (steps-v/)**: validation against checklist - **Edit mode (steps-e/)**: revise existing outputs ## Initialization Sequence ### 1. Mode Determination "Welcome to the workflow. What would you like to do?" - **[C] Create** — Run the workflow from the beginning - **[R] Resume** — Resume an interrupted Create workflow - **[V] Validate** — Validate existing outputs - **[E] Edit** — Edit existing outputs ### 2. Route to First Step - **If C:** Load `{skill-root}/steps-c/step-01-preflight.md` - **If R:** Load `{skill-root}/steps-c/step-01b-resume.md` (Create-mode continuation) - **If V:** Load `{skill-root}/steps-v/step-01-validate.md` - **If E:** Load `{skill-root}/steps-e/step-01-assess.md`
