+# @mattermost/playwright-lib
+
+A comprehensive end-to-end testing library for Mattermost web, desktop and plugin applications using Playwright.
+
+## Overview
+
+This library provides:
+
+- Pre-built page objects and components for common Mattermost UI elements
+- Server configuration and initialization utilities
+- Test fixtures and helpers
+- Visual testing support with Percy integration
+- Accessibility testing support with [axe-core](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core)
+- Browser notification mocking
+- File handling utilities
+- Common test actions and assertions
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @mattermost/playwright-lib
+```
+
+### Peer Dependencies
+
+This library requires `@playwright/test` version 1.55.0 or higher:
+
+```bash
+npm install @playwright/test@^1.55.0
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Basic example of logging in and posting a message:
+
+```typescript
+import {test, expect} from '@mattermost/playwright-lib';
+
+test('user can post message', async ({pw}) => {
+    // # Create and login a new user
+    const {user} = await pw.initSetup();
+    const {channelsPage} = await pw.testBrowser.login(user);
+
+    // # Navigate and post a message
+    await channelsPage.goto();
+    const message = 'Hello World!';
+    await channelsPage.postMessage(message);
+
+    // * Verify message appears
+    const lastPost = await channelsPage.getLastPost();
+    await expect(lastPost).toHaveText(message);
+});
+```
+
+## Key Components
+
+### Page Objects
+
+Ready-to-use page objects for common Mattermost pages:
+
+- Login
+- Signup
+- Channels
+- System Console
+- And more...
+
+### UI Components
+
+Reusable component objects for UI elements:
+
+- Headers
+- Posts
+- Menus
+- Modals
+- And more...
+
+### Test Utilities
+
+Helper functions for common testing needs:
+
+- Server setup and configuration
+- User/team creation
+- File handling
+- Visual testing
+- And more...
+
+Global setup leaves only the plugins a fresh install has active (Calls, Playbooks, Agents, NPS) and
+deactivates the rest, so a plugin one spec enabled cannot alter the webapp for the next one — the
+demo plugin, for instance, replaces the attachment button with its own upload menu. A spec needing
+another plugin enables it itself with `pw.installAndEnablePlugin()` or `pw.ensurePluginsLoaded()`.
+`PW_ENSURE_PLUGINS_INSTALLED` is honoured and left active.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The library can be configured via optional environment variables:
+

+
+| Variable                             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                           | Default                                                      |
+| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `PW_USE_TESTCONTAINERS`              | Selects `testcontainers` mode                                                                                                                                                                                         | `false`                                                      |

+| `PW_TESTCONTAINERS_REUSE`            | Reuse containers across repeated local runs instead of recreating them; tear down with `npm run testcontainers:down` (requires `testcontainers.reuse.enable=true` in `~/.testcontainers.properties`)                  | `true`                                                       |
+| `PW_TESTCONTAINERS_CONTAINER_RUNNER` | Set when the Playwright process itself runs inside a Docker container (e.g. CI), to join it to the Testcontainers network                                                                                             | `false`                                                      |
+| `SERVER_IMAGE`                       | Prebuilt Mattermost server image `testcontainers` mode starts — also the upgrade tests' to-image                                                                                                                      | `mattermostdevelopment/mattermost-enterprise-edition:master` |
+| `PW_UPGRADE_FROM_SERVER_IMAGE`       | Older server image `test:upgrade:from` boots fresh on — use a `release-X.Y` tag (see `script/resolve_upgrade_matrix.mjs`). Required; if `.env.testcontainers` already exists, run `npm run testcontainers:down` first | none — required for `--project=upgrade-from`                 |
+| `MM_ENV`                             | Comma-separated `KEY=VALUE` server config overrides, merged over the test baseline                                                                                                                                    | none                                                         |
+| `PW_LDAP_HOST` / `PW_LDAP_PORT`      | OpenLDAP host/port (only used when `openldap` is started)                                                                                                                                                             | `localhost` / `389`                                          |
+| `PW_KEYCLOAK_URL`                    | Keycloak URL (only used when `keycloak` is started)                                                                                                                                                                   | `http://localhost:8484`                                      |
+| `PW_ELASTICSEARCH_URL`               | Elasticsearch URL (only used when `elasticsearch` is started)                                                                                                                                                         | `http://localhost:9200`                                      |
+| `PW_OPENSEARCH_URL`                  | OpenSearch URL (only used when `opensearch` is started)                                                                                                                                                               | `http://localhost:9201`                                      |
+| `PW_MINIO_URL`                       | Minio URL (only used when `minio` is started)                                                                                                                                                                         | `http://localhost:9000`                                      |
+| `PW_AZURITE_URL`                     | Azurite URL (only used when `azurite` is started)                                                                                                                                                                     | `http://localhost:10000`                                     |
+
+In `testcontainers` mode, these host/port defaults are never actually used — Testcontainers always assigns its own dynamic port or network alias per run, so a `testcontainers`-mode run can never collide with a same-machine `external`-mode session using the fixed defaults above. Tear a reused stack down explicitly with `npm run testcontainers:down` (from the `playwright/` package).
+
+## Accessibility Testing
+
+The library includes built-in accessibility testing using [axe-core](https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core):
+
+```typescript
+import {test, expect} from '@mattermost/playwright-lib';
+
+test('verify login page accessibility', async ({page, axe}) => {
+    // # Navigate to login page
+    await page.goto('/login');
+
+    // # Run accessibility scan
+    const results = await axe.builder(page).analyze();
+
+    // * Verify no accessibility violations
+    expect(results.violations).toHaveLength(0);
+});
+```
+
+The axe-core integration:
+
+- Runs WCAG 2.0 Level A & AA rules by default
+- Provides detailed violation reports
+- Supports rule customization
+- Can be configured per-test or globally
+
+## Visual Testing
+
+The library supports visual testing through [Playwright's built-in visual comparisons](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-snapshots) and [Percy](https://www.browserstack.com/percy) integration:
+
+```typescript
+import {test, expect} from '@mattermost/playwright-lib';
+
+test('verify channel header appearance', async ({pw, browserName, viewport}, testInfo) => {
+    // # Setup and login
+    const {user} = await pw.initSetup();
+    const {page, channelsPage} = await pw.testBrowser.login(user);
+
+    // # Navigate and prepare page
+    await channelsPage.goto();
+    await expect(channelsPage.appBar.playbooksIcon).toBeVisible();
+    await pw.hideDynamicChannelsContent(page);
+
+    // * Take and verify snapshot
+    await pw.matchSnapshot(testInfo, {page, browserName, viewport});
+});
+```
+
+## Browser Notifications
+
+Mock and verify browser notifications:
+
+```typescript
+import {test, expect} from '@mattermost/playwright-lib';
+
+test('verify notification on mention', async ({pw}) => {
+    // # Setup users and team
+    const {team, adminUser, user} = await pw.initSetup();
+
+    // # Setup admin browser with notifications
+    const {page: adminPage, channelsPage: adminChannelsPage} = await pw.testBrowser.login(adminUser);
+    await adminChannelsPage.goto(team.name, 'town-square');
+    await pw.stubNotification(adminPage, 'granted');
+
+    // # Setup user browser and post mention
+    const {channelsPage: userChannelsPage} = await pw.testBrowser.login(user);
+    await userChannelsPage.goto(team.name, 'off-topic');
+    await userChannelsPage.postMessage(`@ALL good morning, ${team.name}!`);
+
+    // * Verify notification received
+    const notifications = await pw.waitForNotification(adminPage);
+    expect(notifications.length).toBe(1);
+});
+```
