npm install -D @vitest/browser-playwright
# or
yarn add -D @vitest/browser-playwright
# or
pnpm add -D @vitest/browser-playwright
Then specify it in the browser.provider field of your Vitest configuration:
// vitest.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
import { playwright } from '@vitest/browser-playwright'
export default defineConfig({
test: {
browser: {
provider: playwright({
// ...custom playwright options
}),
instances: [
{ browser: 'chromium' },
],
},
