Context

The Playwright E2E contribution guide currently lives in tests/CONTRIBUTING.md, next to the suite, and the Playwright testing docs page links out to it on GitHub. Contributors reading docs.ohif.org have to leave the site to find the conventions, and the guide is invisible to the docs sidebar and search.

This PR moves the guide into the docs site so there is a single, discoverable source.

Changes & Results

  • Add platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-contributing.md with the full guide (fixtures, page objects, normalized viewport coordinates, render waits, assertions, screenshot baseline rules, naming, PR submission). It appears in the Development section of the sidebar as "Contributing E2E Tests", directly after "Playwright Testing".
  • Update the screenshot rules to describe both checkForViewportScreenshot and checkForGridScreenshot, and to limit the generic checkForScreenshot to non-viewport locators such as panels and dialogs. This matches the helper set introduced in test(e2e): capture viewport and grid screenshots text-free across the suite #6296.
  • Point the "Writing tests?" note on the Playwright testing page at the new docs page instead of the GitHub file.
  • Remove tests/CONTRIBUTING.md so the guide is not maintained in two places.

Depends on #6296 for the checkForGridScreenshot helper the guide references. That PR also edits tests/CONTRIBUTING.md, so whichever lands second will see a modify/delete conflict on that file; keeping the deletion is the correct resolution.

Testing

  • cd platform/docs && yarn start, open Development in the sidebar and confirm "Contributing E2E Tests" renders after "Playwright Testing".
  • On the "Playwright Testing" page, confirm the "Writing tests?" note links to the new page.
  • Confirm the links inside the new page resolve: the contributing guidelines link and the ohif-test-agent skill link.

Checklist

PR

  • My Pull Request title is descriptive, accurate and follows the
    semantic-release format and guidelines.

Code

  • My code has been well-documented (function documentation, inline comments,
    etc.)

Public Documentation Updates

  • The documentation page has been updated as necessary for any public API
    additions or removals.

Tested Environment

  • OS: macOS 26.5.1
  • Node version: 25.4.0
  • Browser: Chrome

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Replaced the Playwright guide with current setup and run instructions, including Chromium-only configuration and how to reuse or serve the viewer on port 3335.
    • Added guidance for starting from an existing test, using fixtures and valid study details, interacting with the viewport, and waiting for renders.
    • Documented assertion, page-object, utility, screenshot, test-naming, baseline-review, and pull request conventions.
    • Added information about the in-repository testing-agent skill.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Playwright testing guide now describes test setup, execution, authoring, visual validation, and submission. It includes Chromium configuration and instructions for reusing a manually started viewer on port 3335.

Changes

Playwright testing guide

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test setup and execution
platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md
The guide describes the test layout, setup and run commands, CLI flags, and manual serving with the e2e configuration on port 3335.
Test authoring and interactions
platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md
The guide covers fixture imports, study UIDs and modes, viewport interactions, render waits, assertions, page objects, and utilities.
Visual validation and submission

The guide describes screenshot baseline practices, naming, pull request guidance, and the in-repository test-agent skill.

Systems and components

  • observed — platform (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md: The page title and summary now describe an end-to-end testing guide. The former brief running/writing overview and install note are replaced by repository layout, setup and execution commands, Playwright flag forwarding guidance, and instructions for reusing a manually started viewer on port 3335 with the e2e configuration.
  • observed — Modified behavior in platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md: Adds guidance to adapt existing specs and defer to test source when it conflicts with the guide. It specifies fixture imports, visitStudy setup with a real UID and mode, example study choices and delays, and handling hydration and tracking prompts. The previous sample using a different UID, “Basic Viewer” mode, and direct @playwright/test imports is removed.
  • observed — Modified behavior in platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md: Adds conventions for normalized viewport coordinates, render-cycle waits, and web-first assertions. It replaces the former generic drag-helper example with guidance to avoid sleeps after viewport changes, start render waits before actions, use an in-flight render wait when appropriate, and assert exact, visible outcomes rather than proxy state. It also documents preconditions and awaiting actions and assertions.
  • observed — Modified behavior in platform/docs/docs/development/playwright-testing.md: Adds rules for where page-object controls belong, locator scoping, data-cy attributes, and replacing raw page calls. Utility guidance covers reuse, object parameters, barrel imports, shared assertions, and reading app state through utilities rather than direct page.evaluate calls in specs. The previous direct service-access example is removed.

What is this paragraph trying to say? Don't add a -- between the run command and the flags. Or something else? Either way it might need to be reworded.

Maybe best to say "see DicomTagBrowserPageObject for an example of this?

Rules for new screenshot assertions:

- Capture a viewport with `checkForViewportScreenshot({ page, viewport, screenshotPath })`
and the grid with `checkForGridScreenshot({ page, viewportPageObject, screenshotPath })`;

Not yet, it comes with #6296. I've removed the reference here and will add it back with #6296.

- Remember there are two segmentation representations, contour and labelmap.
Don't give a helper a generic name if it only handles one, and encode the
representation type in signatures and `data-cy` values where it matters.
The inverse holds too. A feature that isn't segmentation-specific shouldn't

I might be wrong, but the inverse that is stated is not the inverse of the previous sentence. I think maybe the sentence you might be looking for is "A helper that is not specific to a certain segmentation representation should not carry the representation in its name".

But then again I might be missing something.

Thanks for this. See my minor comments.

- Reword the note on passing Playwright flags through pnpm scripts
- Point to DicomTagBrowserPageObject as an example of a dialog page object
- Correct the naming rule for representation-agnostic helpers
- Drop the checkForGridScreenshot reference until the helper lands
