Playwright Migration Guides

Step-by-step guides for migrating a test suite from Cypress or Selenium/WebDriver to Playwright.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 391⑂ 61AI score 5/10Last updated: Oct 10, 2026

What it does

  • Provides two migration paths: Cypress → Playwright and Selenium/WebDriver → Playwright.
  • Supplies side-by-side command mapping tables between the old framework's API and Playwright's equivalents.
  • Explains architectural differences: waiting model, selector/locator strategy, test runner structure.
  • Outlines incremental adoption strategies so you can run old and new suites side by side instead of a big-bang rewrite.

Who it's for

  • QA engineers modernizing a legacy Selenium suite.
  • Frontend / automation developers evaluating a move off Cypress.
  • Tech leads sizing up the effort and ordering of an E2E framework switch.

Examples

  1. "Convert this Cypress spec into a Playwright test" — maps cy.get() and cy.intercept() to page.locator() and page.route().
  2. "Rewrite these Selenium explicit waits the Playwright way" — replaces WebDriverWait/ExpectedConditions with auto-waiting and web-first expect() assertions.
  3. "I have 200 legacy tests — propose a migration order" — get a phased plan with parallel-run guidance.

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the migration folder from the GitHub repo testdino-hq/playwright-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/testdino-hq/playwright-skill.git /tmp/playwright-skill && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration && cp -r /tmp/playwright-skill/migration/* ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/testdino-hq/playwright-skill.git
  3. Create the skill folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration
  4. Copy the files: cp -r playwright-skill/migration/* ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration/
  5. Verify that SKILL.md, from-cypress.md, and from-selenium.md exist in ~/.claude/skills/playwright-migration/.
  6. Restart Claude Code, then try a prompt like "Migrate this Cypress test to Playwright."
