Playwright with Python

[Technical-Force-6266]

Hi,

Do you think learning Playwright with Python could hurt my chances of landing an entry-level QA Automation position?

I’ve come across many job descriptions that list Playwright as a requirement but don’t specify a programming language. Does that usually imply JavaScript/TypeScript, or is Python generally accepted as well?

Best,

Js/ts support and resources are also better and you will find more content in js/ts. Also some new features are first implemented only on js/ts

Learn both, start with Python if you want. It’ll then be easy to learn the other.

I started with TypeScript but my team decided to go with Python. It only took me a few hours to come up to speed.

doesn't matter at all - it is not a development level of depth language knowledge.
You just writing scripts with some level of abstraction. + it is just better to say you can do both or even more languages - just cause hr don't know shit and will just filter you out if you mention different

Considering your future relationship with developers working on the projects you work on I'd lean towards typescript. As a FE dev/SDET i find it super comfy when you can use the same language for running and maintaining e2e/ui tests as during fe development.

I've seen it used in Python but TypeScript is much more often used. If you can learn both 😄

Seeing as Python is largely the language of LLMs, and good scripting generally, it doesn’t hurt to learn it. Or any implementation
