    --cov              Enable code coverage in istanbul format. Outputs '.nyc_output/coverage-pw.json'.  (default false)
    --report-dir       Where to output code coverage in instanbul format.  (default .nyc_output)
    --before           Path to a script to be loaded on a separate tab before the main script.

  Examples
    $ playwright-test test.js --runner tape
    $ playwright-test test --debug
    $ playwright-test "test/**/*.spec.js" --browser webkit --mode worker --incognito --debug

    $ playwright-test bench.js --runner benchmark
    # Uses benchmark.js to run your benchmark see playwright-test/mocks/benchmark.js for an example.

    $ playwright-test test --cov && npx nyc report --reporter=html
    # Enable code coverage in istanbul format which can be used by nyc.

    $ playwright-test "test/**/*.spec.js" --debug --before ./mocks/before.js
    # Run a script in a separate tab. Check ./mocks/before.js for an example.
    # Important: You need to call `self.PW_TEST.beforeEnd()` to start the main script.

  Runner Options
    All arguments passed to the cli not listed above will be fowarded to the runner.
    $ playwright-test test.js --runner mocha --bail --grep 'should fail'

    To send a `false` flag use --no-bail.
    Check https://mochajs.org/api/mocha for `mocha` options or `npx mocha --help`.

  Notes
    DEBUG env var filtering for 'debug' package logging will work as expected.
    $ DEBUG:app playwright-test test.js

    Do not let your shell expand globs, always wrap them.
    $ playwright-test "test/**" GOOD
    $ playwright-test test/** BAD

Client

This client package exposes the playwright-test options and some Playwright browser context methods to be used in tests.

import * as Client from 'playwright-test/client'

it('should setoffline', async () => {
  if (Client.mode === 'main' && Client.options.extension === false) {
    globalThis.addEventListener('offline', () => {
      console.log('offlineee')
    })
    await Client.context.setOffline(true)
    equal(navigator.onLine, false)
    await Client.context.setOffline(false)
    equal(navigator.onLine, true)
  }
})

it('should geolocation', async () => {
  if (Client.mode === 'main') {
    const deferred = pdefer()
    await Client.context.setGeolocation({
      latitude: 59.95,
      longitude: 30.316_67,
    })
    await Client.context.grantPermissions(['geolocation'])

    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
      deferred.resolve(position)
    })

    const position = (await deferred.promise) as GeolocationPosition
    equal(position.coords.latitude, 59.95)
  }
})

Flow control

All test runners support automatic flow control, which means you don't need to call special function or trigger any event in your tests to stop the run. The none runner does not support flow control.

To manually stop the run you can use process.exit:

process.exit(0) // stops the run and exits with success
process.exit(1) // stops the run and exits with failure

Custom test runner

You can define a custom test runner by passing a path to a file or a node module id that exports an object called playwrightTestRunner that implements the TestRunner interface.

$ playwright-test test.js --runner ./my-runner.js
# or
$ playwright-test test.js --runner my-runner

You can also just define you test runner in the config file.

// playwright-test.config.js
/** @type {import('../src/runner.js').RunnerOptions} */
const config = {
  testRunner: {
    compileRuntime: (options, paths) => {
      return `
import mocha from 'mocha/mocha.js'
mocha.setup({
    reporter: 'spec',
    timeout: 5000,
    ui: 'bdd',
})

${paths.map((url) => `await import('${url}')`).join('\n')}

  mocha
    .run((f) =>{
      process.exit(f)
    })
        `
    },
  },
}

export default config

export interface TestRunner {
  /**
   * Module ID name used to import the test runner runtime.
   * Used in auto detection of the test runner.
   */
  moduleId: string
  /**
   * Options made available to the compiled runtime.
   * This is useful to pass options to the test runner.
   *
   * @example
   * ```js
   * const options = JSON.parse(process.env.PW_OPTIONS)
   * const testRunnerOptions = options.testRunner.options
   * ```
   */
  options?: unknown
  /**
   * Esbuild config for the test runner
   */
  buildConfig?: BuildOptions
  /**
   * Compile runtime entry point for esbuild
   *
   * @param options - Runner options
   * @param testPaths - Test paths
   * @returns
   */
  compileRuntime: (options: RunnerOptions, testPaths: string[]) => string
}

Config

The config file needs to be commonjs for now, so if your package is pure ESM you need to use .cjs extension.

Configuration can be done with cli flags or config files.

package.json, // using property `pw-test` or `playwright-test`
.playwright-testrc.json,
.playwright-testrc.js,
.playwright-testrc.cjs,
playwright-test.config.js,
playwright-test.config.cjs,
.pw-testrc.json,
.pw-testrc.js,
.pw-testrc.cjs,
pw-test.config.js,
pw-test.config.cjs,
.config/playwright-testrc.json
.config/playwright-testrc.js
.config/playwright-testrc.cjs
.config/pw-testrc.json
.config/pw-testrc.js
.config/pw-testrc.cjs

The config type can be imported from the entrypoint.

/** @type {import('playwright-test').RunnerOptions} */
const config = {
  // ...
}

export default config

The config file can also export a function that receives the cli options as argument.

/** @type {import('playwright-test').ConfigFn} */
function buildConfig(cliOptions) {
  return {
    buildConfig: {
      bundle: cliOptions.mode !== 'node',
    },
  }
}

export default buildConfig

Interface

export interface RunnerOptions {
  input?: string[]
  testRunner: TestRunner
  cwd: string
  extensions: string
  browser: 'chromium' | 'firefox' | 'webkit'
  debug: boolean
  mode: 'main' | 'worker' | 'node'
  incognito: boolean
  extension: boolean
  assets: string
  before?: string
  sw?: string
  cov: boolean
  reportDir: string
  buildConfig: BuildOptions
  buildSWConfig: BuildOptions
  browserContextOptions?: BrowserContextOptions
  beforeTests: (opts: RunnerOptions) => Promise<unknown>
  afterTests: (
    opts: RunnerOptions,
    beforeTestsOutput: unknown
  ) => Promise<unknown>
}
