Examples

Usage

Basic usage

Playwright must be configured to generate a JSON report and write it to disk. This action receives the report file path as input, in this case results.json.

Note the if: always() to ensure the report comment is created even if the tests failed.

jobs:
  test:
    name: Run playwright tests
    needs: install
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3

      - run: PLAYWRIGHT_JSON_OUTPUT_NAME=results.json npx playwright test --reporter json
