In this video, we are going one step further with Cursor AI and Playwright. In my previous video, we explored Cursor AI Agent and saw how we can use Agent to analyze an existing Playwright project, understand the codebase, execute tests, and make changes to the framework. But this raises an important question: If Cursor Agent can do so much for us, what is the role of the Cursor IDE? In this video, I explain the difference and demonstrate how we can use Cursor as a development environment, just like we use VS Code. In this video, you will learn: ✅ How to use Cursor IDE with an existing Playwright project ✅ How to use the Cursor terminal ✅ How to run regular Playwright commands in Cursor ✅ How to execute Playwright tests from Cursor ✅ How to use Playwright Codegen to identify locators ✅ How Cursor can provide AI assistance while working with code ✅ How to ask Cursor AI to analyze and improve code ✅ How to use Cursor AI without depending completely on AI ✅ How to create a simple Playwright automation framework from scratch using Cursor AI ✅ How Cursor can create the actual framework files and Playwright code based on requirements An important message about AI and test automation AI can be a very useful tool for testers and developers, but you should not depend completely on AI to learn Playwright. First understand Playwright concepts, locators, assertions, Page Object Model, configuration, test execution, and framework design. Once you have that knowledge, you can use AI to improve your productivity. AI-generated code should always be reviewed and validated. You should understand the code well enough to identify mistakes and make the right technical decisions. AI tools can also have usage limits depending on the plan and the type of task, so it is important to use AI wisely rather than asking AI to perform every task. In this video, I demonstrate both approaches: Cursor as a regular IDE → Playwright commands → AI assistance → Framework creation with AI If you are learning Playwright or exploring AI tools for test automation, I hope this video helps you understand where Cursor fits into your automation workflow.
