# Setting up Currents Actions

### Requirements

* Only available for Playwright
* Requires `@currents/playwright` v1.9.0+

### Overview

Setting up the Currents Actions consists of 3 steps:

1. Setting up the project
2. Configuring Playwright fixtures
3. Updating the tests code

{% hint style="info" %}
Check out the [example GitHub repository](https://github.com/currents-dev/currents-examples/tree/main/playwright/currents-actions).
{% endhint %}

### Setting up the Currents Reporter

Install and configure Currents reporter following [Quick Start](/getting-started/your-first-playwright-run.md) guide.

### Add Playwright Fixtures

`@currents/playwright` provides a [Playwright fixture](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-fixtures) that must be installed to enable Currents fixtures.

{% hint style="info" %}
It is a good practice to [extend](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-test#test-extend) the default Playwright `test` method, for example to enable [Page Object Model](https://playwright.dev/docs/pom), [sharing a state](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-fixtures#worker-scoped-fixtures) between multiple tests etc. See [Playwright Fixtures](/resources/reporters/currents-playwright/playwright-fixtures.md) for more information.
{% endhint %}

{% code title="base.ts" %}

```typescript
 import {
   CurrentsFixtures,
   CurrentsWorkerFixtures,
   fixtures,
 } from "@currents/playwright";
 import { test as base } from "@playwright/test";
 
 export const test = base.extend<CurrentsFixtures, CurrentsWorkerFixtures>({
   ...fixtures.baseFixtures,
   ...fixtures.actionFixtures,
 });
```

{% endcode %}

### Update Tests

Import and use the extended `test` for every test case to enable the rules engine for that test.

```typescript
import { expect } from "@playwright/test";
import { test } from "./base.ts";
```

### Optional: conditionally enable fixtures only on CI

After extending the `test` method, many Currents fixtures are enabled by default. If you wish to only conditionally enable them (such as only in CI) you can use the `currentsFixturesEnabled` property in your `playwright.config.ts` file.

{% code title="playwright.config.ts" %}

```typescript
// ...
use: {
  ...
  currentsFixturesEnabled: !!process.env.CI,
},
```

{% endcode %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.currents.dev/guides/currents-actions/setup-currents-actions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
