Playwright

Playwright Integration with Testomat.io

Playwright is an open-source framework developed by Microsoft for end-to-end testing of web applications. It allows developers and testers to automate browser interactions across platforms, including Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. With support for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, and Java, Playwright enables cross-browser testing with a single codebase. The framework is known for its reliability and advanced features like auto-waiting, network interception, and seamless testing of modern web apps, making it an excellent tool for ensuring consistent user experiences across different environments.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to use Testomat.io with Playwright to streamline test management and reporting.

Importing Playwright Tests

You can import your Playwright tests into Testomat.io on the Imports page.

Steps to Import Your Tests

1. Select Framework: In the Project Framework field, choose Playwright.
2. Choose Language: Select your project’s language from the Project Language field: JavaScript, TypeScript, or Gherkin (for BDD tests).
3. Select OS: Choose your device’s OS (Mac, Linux, or Windows) under Import tests.

Additional options to customize your import:

• Auto-assign Ids: Automatically assigns unique IDs to each test.
• Purge Old Ids: Removes previously set IDs from tests.
• Disable Detached Tests: Disables tests marked as detached.
• Prefer Source Code Structure: Maintains your project’s source code structure in the test hierarchy.

After setting up, copy the generated command and run it in your project’s terminal. Your tests will then appear on the Tests page in Testomat.io.

Example Project: Try importing using the Testomat.io Playwright example project.

For more details, refer to the Import Tests from Source Code documentation.

Importing Parameterized Tests

When importing parameterized tests, you can include variable parameters in test names using template literals, ensuring they display dynamically in Testomat.io.

Example:

test(`Create user ${userName} @T12345678`, () => {
  expect(user).toBe('fine');
});

Avoid string concatenation like title + name. Instead, use template literals for a clear and informative test name with variable values.

This test will be imported with its placeholder in the name, and results will display parameter values in Testomat.io reports.

Auto-assigning Test IDs

When importing tests, enable Auto-assign Ids (--update-ids) to track changes without duplicating tests when scaling your project. Without this, CI processes may not launch correctly.

 test('user should be fine', () => {
 test('user should be fine @T12345678', () => {
  expect(user).toBe('fine');
});

IDs will be automatically assigned in your code and appear in Testomat.io.

Reporting Playwright Tests

Reports provide insights into test results and the performance of your automation workflows. Testomat.io allows for comprehensive Playwright test reports, including Trace Viewer.

Artifacts in Playwright with Testomat.io Reporter and S3

Artifacts like screenshots, videos, and logs are essential for debugging. With the Testomat.io reporter, these artifacts can be automatically uploaded to an S3 bucket and linked to test cases in the Testomat.io dashboard. Read more about Artifacts

• Configure Artifacts: Enable options in Playwright (e.g., recordVideo, screenshot, logs).
• Setup S3 and Testomat.io Reporter: Link your S3 bucket with Testomat.io for smooth integration.
• View and Debug: Access artifacts in Testomat.io for easy downloading and analysis.

Viewing Playwright Attachments

View attachments by clicking on the test in Test Run and selecting the attachment (screenshots, videos) you want to view.

Enabling Playwright Trace Viewer

Trace logs in Playwright capture a detailed sequence of browser events. Here’s how to enable Playwright trace viewing for Test Runs:

1. Set up an S3 Bucket (See Documentation).
2. Enable third-party cookies in your browser.
3. Run your tests.
4. In Test Run, click the test, then select trace.zip to open.

Parallel Execution Reporting

To report parallel test executions to the same Testomat.io run, assign a shared title to all parallel runs and set the TESTOMATIO_SHARED_RUN environment variable.

TESTOMATIO_TITLE="report for commit ${GIT_COMMIT}" TESTOMATIO_SHARED_RUN=1 <actual run command>

Tip: Use a commit hash as the title for unique run identification across parallel jobs.

Extending Shared Run Timeout

The default shared run timeout is 20 minutes. To extend it, use the TESTOMATIO_SHARED_RUN_TIMEOUT variable. For example, set it to 2 hours (120 minutes) as follows:

TESTOMATIO={API_KEY} TESTOMATIO_TITLE="report for commit ${GIT_COMMIT}" TESTOMATIO_SHARED_RUN=1 TESTOMATIO_SHARED_RUN_TIMEOUT=120 <actual run command>
