Run Playwright scripts on GitHub Actions

Playwright on GitHub Actions

This repo has been archived: Please look at microsoft/playwright-github-action instead.

Example project that runs Playwright tests on GitHub Actions. Tested with Playwright v0.12.1.

Usage

Specify jobs.job_id.container as shown below. This container image contains system dependencies to run Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. See Dockerfile to review.

jobs:
  e2e_test_job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    container: arjun27/playwright-bionic:0.2.0

    name: Try playwright
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v1
      - run: npm install && npm test

Browsers

The container installs system dependencies for the 3 browsers and relies on Playwright to install browsers during npm install.

To use the browsers in your tests, please use the following configuration:

• Chromium: Use the --no-sandbox arg while launching it
• WebKit and Firefox: No additional config

Potential improvements

Currently, this action is built as a job.job_id.container, which works for cases where UI tests are a separate job. It would be worth exploring to make it work as an action inside a job (job.job_id.uses).
