Playwright demo

Playwright example tests for GitHub

An example implementation of Playwright tests with a GitHub workflow that generates a HTML report published on GitHub Pages.

Features

• GitHub workflow with cron scheduling, Docker images, Artifacts storage, and HTML reporting on GitHub Pages

Local Installation

npm i -D @playwright/test
npx playwright install

Command line (CLI) execution examples

Run tests headlessly:

npx playwright test

Run tests in headed browsers:

npx playwright test --headed

Run tests with the substring "check" in the title ("-g" can also be written as "--grep"):

npx playwright test -g "check"

Run tests with the Tag "@smoke" (Tags are part of the test title):

npx playwright test -g "@smoke"

GitHub example workflow

The GitHub example workflow uses a cron schedule to trigger a build on every push and runs at minute 5 past every 3rd hour from 1 through 23.

It uses a Docker image with all operating system dependencies and the pre-installed browsers provided by Playwright.

It generates a HTML report that gets published on GitHub Pages (a static web site on GitHub).

All Artifacts get attached as a zip file to the build results (in the "Actions" section of GitHub). Artifacts include the HTML test report and videos of the test executions.
