Playwright is a Node.js library that uses a single API to automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. It is designed to enable powerful, reliable, and efficient automated browser testing. Playwright can also automate Microsoft Edge since it is built on the open-source Chromium web framework. LambdaTest allows you to run Playwright tests across 40+ real browsers and operating system combinations.
Learn the basics of Playwright testing on the LambdaTest platform.
- Pre-requisites
- Running Your First Playwright Test
- Parallel Testing
- Migrate Playwright Tests
- Test Execution Setup
- Local Testing
- Integrate With Playwright Test Runner
- Integrate With Cucumber.js
- Playwright Testing With CI/CD
-
Clone the LambdaTest-Playwright repository on your system.
-
Install the npm dependencies.
npm install
- In order to run your Playwright tests, you will need to set your LambdaTest username and access key in the environment variables. Click the Access Key button at the top-right of the Automation Dashboard to access it.
Windows
set LT_USERNAME="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME"
set LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY"macOS/Linux
export LT_USERNAME="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_USERNAME"
export LT_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY"Shown below are the steps on running Playwright tests on the LambdaTest platform.
- Clone the LambdaTest-Playwright GitHub repository and switch to the cloned directory.
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/playwright-sample.git
cd playwright-sample-main-
Ensure you have npm dependencies installed.
-
Configure your LambdaTest authentication credentials.
Once you are done with the above-mentioned steps, you can initiate your first Playwright test on LambdaTest.
Test Scenario: Check out playwright-single.js file to view the sample test script.
- Pass the below command to run the test.
node playwright-single.js
The LambdaTest Automation Dashboard is where you can see the results of your Playwright tests after running them on the LambdaTest platform.
The below screenshot of LambdaTest Automation Dashboard shows the Playwright build on the left and the build sessions associated with the selected build on the right.
On clicking the session name of the respective test, you can view the details of Playwright test session that you just executed. For example, the below screenshot shows a test execution details of Playwright test like Test Name, Test ID, selected configurations, test logs, basic info, input config, and test session video.
LambdaTest allows you to perform parallel testing with Playwright across 40+ browsers and OS to automate your several test cases simultaneously. You can run one test case across various browsers, or you can run multiple test case scenarios in the same browser with different browser versions.
Shown below are the steps on running parallel tests with Playright on the LambdaTest platform.
- Clone the LambdaTest-Playwright GitHub repository and switch to the cloned directory.
git clone https://github.com/LambdaTest/playwright-sample.git
cd playwright-sample-main-
Ensure you have npm dependencies installed.
-
Configure your LambdaTest authentication credentials.
Once you are done with the above-mentioned steps, you can run your parallel tests with Playwright on LambdaTest.
Test Scenario: Check out playwright-parallel.js file to view the sample test script.
- Pass the below command to run the test.
node playwright-parallel.js
Select the button below to try this demo in Gitpod
- After the Gitpod session launches, navigate to the terminal and run the following commands to save your LambdaTest Credentials to Gitpod as environment variables:
eval $(gp env -e LT_USERNAME=******)
eval $(gp env -e LT_ACCESS_KEY=******)
- Click the following link if you're unsure how to access your LambdaTest credentials.. Also, if you start a new terminal in Gitpod, you have to run the following command to reset envrionment variables:
eval $(gp env -e)
