Announcing Playwright Test Runner reporting in Artillery Cloud

Hassy Veldstra

Today we are announcing support for Playwright Test Runner reporting in Artillery Cloud. With a 2 line change in playwright.config.ts you will be able to:

• Monitor Playwright tests in real-time
• View HTML reports with screenshots and traces in Artillery Cloud
• Integrate with GitHub Actions with PR comments for successful & failed test runs

Getting started

1. Sign up for an Artillery Cloud account on https://app.artillery.io and get an API key

2. Install the Artillery Cloud reporter:

   npm install -D @artilleryio/playwright-reporter
   

3. Enable the reporter in your playwright.config.ts file:

   const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
     reporter: [
       ['blob'], // required for Artillery's reporter to work
       ['@artilleryio/playwright-reporter', { name: 'My Test Suite' }],
     ],
     // ... rest of your config
   };
   

4. Set your Artillery Cloud API key

   export ARTILLERY_CLOUD_API_KEY=a9_your_api_key
   

   You can create an API key in Artillery Cloud here: https://app.artillery.io/settings/api-keys

Then run your Playwright tests as normal, e.g. with:

npx playwright test

The reporter will print a link for the test run to the console. You can track the progress of the test run in real-time in Artillery Cloud via that link.

If the test is running in GitHub Actions, the reporter will also post a comment on the PR with the link to the test run once it completes.

How much does this cost?

This feature is available to all users of Artillery Cloud, including those on the free Developer plan. You can record up to 100 test suite runs every month for free. Detailed pricing information is available on https://app.artillery.io/settings/billing
