msw + playwright real life example

[creimers]

Hi, thanks for this library.

At the very end of the readme, you mention the possibility of integrating msw. Could I kindly ask you to elaborate on that and provide a more complete real world example of how this would look like?

Thanks!

Hey @creimers

There are two sides for this question:

1. On the server side, we can use MSW to intercept the requests. I've added an example for Next.js to the readme.
2. On the test runner side, there is no reason to use MSW with RMP, because RMP requires declarative mocks, but MSW handlers are functions that apply arbitrary modifications to the response. Although, you can freely use both: RMP for server-side mocks, MSW for client-side mocks (with dynamic handlers).

Btw, could you share your task, that requires MSW?

Thanks!

I was hoping to use msw in combination with rmp for mocking server side graphql requests... That is currently not possible I take from your response?

Yeap, I need to clarify this more in docs.

Basically, you can use MSW to mock server side requests, please check out this example. But it's still in progress.

I'm not a big fan of spinning up a separate app instance for each test — that’s actually what inspired me to create RMP. But for now RMP does not support such a convenient graphql helper, like MSW's graphql. With RMP, you can capture server-side graphql requests as raw POST requests, but it's not so convenient.

I'll prioritize the graphql support in RPM.
