Continuous integration

Integrate Playwright with CI/CD platforms like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab to automate testing.

GitHub Actions Integration

1. Create a GitHub Actions workflow file: .github/workflows/playwright.yml.

2. Add this configuration:

Javascript

Copy

name: Playwright Tests
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
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: '16'
      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install
      - name: Run Playwright tests
        run: npx playwright test

3. Commit and push the file. Tests will run automatically on pushes to the main branch.

Reporting Integrations

Allure Report Plugin

Generate detailed reports with Allure.

1. Install Allure Playwright Plugin:

npm install -D @playwright/test allure-playwright

2. Add Allure to playwright.config.ts:

Javascript

Copy

const config = {
  reporter: [['allure-playwright']],
};
export default config;

3. Generate and open the report:

npx allure generate allure-results && npx allure open

Debugging Plugins

VS Code Playwright Extension

Use the Playwright extension in VS Code to debug and run tests directly.

Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Add a debug configuration:

Go to Run and Debug → Add Configuration → Select Playwright.

Debug tests using breakpoints in VS Code.

Integrating Playwright with Frameworks

Playwright with Jest

Run Playwright tests alongside Jest.

1. Install Jest and Playwright:

npm install jest playwright

2. Add a Jest setup file:

Javascript

Copy

const { chromium } = require('playwright');

beforeAll(async () => {
  global.browser = await chromium.launch();
});

afterAll(async () => {
  await global.browser.close();
});

3. Write a test:

Javascript

Copy

test('Google homepage', async () => {
  const context = await global.browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://google.com');
  expect(await page.title()).toBe('Google');
});

Monitoring and Analytics Integrations

Playwright with Sentry

1. Install Sentry:

npm install @sentry/node

2. Configure Sentry in your tests:

Javascript

Copy

const Sentry = require('@sentry/node');
Sentry.init({
  dsn: 'YOUR_SENTRY_DSN',
});

test('Track error', async () => {
  try {
    throw new Error('Test error');
  } catch (error) {
    Sentry.captureException(error);
  }
});
