Integrating Playwright with CI/CD Pipelines (Chat GPT)

Integrating Playwright into a CI/CD pipeline ensures that your end-to-end tests run automatically
during the software development lifecycle, providing continuous feedback on the health of your
application. Here’s a step-by-step guide to integrating Playwright with a CI/CD pipeline:

---

1. Set Up Playwright in Your Project

Install Playwright:

npm install @playwright/test


npx playwright install

Create Playwright test files under a directory like tests/.

Use the Playwright Test Runner to define and run tests:

// example.spec.js
const { test, expect } = require('@playwright/test');

test('basic test', async ({ page }) => {


await page.goto('https://example.com');
await expect(page).toHaveTitle('Example Domain');
});

---

2. Write CI/CD Pipeline Configuration

Example 1: GitHub Actions

Create a .github/workflows/playwright.yml file:

name: Playwright Tests

on:
push:
branches:
- main
pull_request:

jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v3

- name: Setup Node.js


uses: actions/setup-node@v3
with:
node-version: 18

- name: Install dependencies


run: npm ci

- name: Install Playwright Browsers


run: npx playwright install --with-deps

- name: Run Playwright Tests


run: npx playwright test

Example 2: GitLab CI/CD

Create a .gitlab-ci.yml file:

stages:
- test

playwright_tests:
image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.40.0-focal
stage: test
script:
- npm ci
- npx playwright install --with-deps
- npx playwright test

Example 3: Jenkins

In Jenkins, configure a Pipeline job and use the following script:

pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage('Install Dependencies') {
steps {
sh 'npm ci'
sh 'npx playwright install --with-deps'
}
}
stage('Run Tests') {
steps {
sh 'npx playwright test'
}
}
}
}

3. Handle Artifacts and Reports

Generate Playwright HTML reports by enabling the report configuration in playwright.config.js:

module.exports = {
reporter: [['html', { outputFolder: 'playwright-report', open: 'never' }]],
};

Upload reports to the CI/CD system for analysis:

GitHub Actions: Use the actions/upload-artifact action.

- name: Upload Playwright Report


uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with:
name: playwright-report
path: playwright-report/

GitLab: Add artifacts to the job definition.

artifacts:
paths:
- playwright-report/

---

4. Configure Parallel Execution (Optional)

Optimize execution by running tests in parallel using Playwright’s built-in parallelism or CI/CD
platform-specific features:

In playwright.config.js:

module.exports = {
workers: 4, // Adjust based on your CI/CD environment
};

For GitHub Actions:

strategy:
matrix:
node: [16, 18]

---

5. Debugging Failures

Enable debugging logs:

DEBUG=pw:api npx playwright test

Capture videos/screenshots on failure by adding these options to playwright.config.js:

module.exports = {
use: {
video: 'retain-on-failure',
screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
},
};

---

6. Trigger Playwright Tests in CI/CD

Automatically trigger tests on code commits or pull requests.

Use environment variables to configure test environments.

---

By following these steps, Playwright can seamlessly integrate with your CI/CD pipeline, helping
you maintain high-quality software through automated testing.
