Playwright

Playwright Test was created specifically to accommodate the needs of end-to-end testing. It supports all modern rendering engines including Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox.

This guide explains how to integrate Playwright with TestBeats for centralized and AI-powered reporting.

Prerequisites

• TestBeats API Key (optional) - Sign in for free with your Work Email at testbeats portal to have a centralized and AI powered reporting. Once you're signed in, create a new organization and generate an API Key.

• In-coming Webhook URL - Create an incoming webhook url for your Slack or Microsoft Teams or Google Chat.

Integration

TestBeats can consume the following reports for publishing test results from Playwright:

• JUnit Report

JUnit Report

1. Configure Playwright to generate JUnit reports

Update your playwright.config.ts file to include the junit reporter:

reporter: [
  ['list'],
  ['junit', {  outputFile: 'test-results/junit.xml' }]
]

2. Configure TestBeats to consume JUnit reports

Test results can be either published using the command line mode or the configuration mode.

2.1 Command Line Mode

1. First, specify the target name using the appropriate target flag. For example, use the --slack flag to specify the incoming webhook URL.

2. Next, specify the path to the result files using the appropriate results format flag. For example, use the --junit flag for junit results.

npx

npx testbeats@latest publish --api-key '<api-key>' --slack '<slack-incoming-webhook-url>' --junit 'test-results/junit.xml'

curl

# Download the executable via `curl`.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/test-results-reporter/testbeats/main/scripts/download-latest.sh | bash

# After download completes, run the executable based on you operating system.
./testbeats-linux publish --api-key '<api-key>' --slack '<slack-incoming-webhook-url>' --junit 'test-results/junit.xml'

TIP

• TestBeats API Key is optional.
• Environment variable TEST_BEATS_API_KEY can also be used to specify the API key.

2.2 Configuration Mode

Update your testbeats.config.json file to include the junit result file:

{
  "api_key": "<api-key>",
  "targets": [
    {
      "name": "slack",
      "inputs": {
        "url": "<incoming-webhook-url>"
      }
    }
  ],
  "results": [
    {
      "type": "junit",
      "files": ["test-results/junit.xml"]
    }
  ]
}

npx

npx testbeats@latest publish -c path/to/testbeats.config.json

curl

# Download the executable via `curl`.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/test-results-reporter/testbeats/main/scripts/download-latest.sh | bash

# After download completes, run the executable based on you operating system.
./testbeats-linux publish -c path/to/testbeats.config.json
