Playwright tests can be executed in CI environments. We have created sample
configurations for common CI providers.

## Introduction
3 steps to get your tests running on CI:
1. **Ensure CI agent can run browsers**: Use [our Docker image](./docker.md)
in Linux agents or install your dependencies using the [CLI](./cli.md#install-system-dependencies).
1. **Install Playwright**:
```bash js
# Install NPM packages
npm ci
# or
npm install
# Install Playwright browsers and dependencies
npx playwright install --with-deps
```
```bash python
pip install playwright
playwright install --with-deps
```
```bash java
mvn exec:java -e -Dexec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -Dexec.args="install --with-deps"
```
```bash csharp
pwsh bin\Debug\netX\playwright.ps1 install --with-deps
```
1. **Run your tests**:
```bash js
npm test
```
```bash python
pytest
```
## CI configurations
The [Command line tools](./cli.md#install-system-dependencies) can be used to install all operating system dependencies on GitHub Actions.
### GitHub Actions
```yml js
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14'
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Install Playwright
run: npx playwright install --with-deps
- name: Run your tests
run: npm test
- name: Upload test results
if: always()
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
with:
name: playwright-report
path: playwright-report
```
```yml python
steps:
- name: Set up Python
uses: actions/setup-python@v2
with:
python-version: 3.8
- name: Install dependencies
run: |
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install playwright
pip install -e .
- name: Ensure browsers are installed
run: python -m playwright install --with-deps
- name: Run your tests
run: pytest
```
We run [our tests](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/.github/workflows/tests_secondary.yml) on GitHub Actions, across a matrix of 3 platforms (Windows, Linux, macOS) and 3 browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit).
### GitHub Actions on deployment
This will start the tests after a [GitHub Deployment](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/deployments/) went into the `success` state.
Services like Vercel use this pattern so you can run your end-to-end tests on their deployed environment.
```yml
name: Playwright Tests
on:
deployment_status:
jobs:
test:
timeout-minutes: 60
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
if: github.event.deployment_status.state == 'success'
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14.x'
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Install Playwright
run: npx playwright install --with-deps
- name: Run Playwright tests
run: npm run test:e2e
env:
# This might depend on your test-runner/language binding
PLAYWRIGHT_TEST_BASE_URL: ${{ github.event.deployment_status.target_url }}
```
### Docker
We have a [pre-built Docker image](./docker.md) which can either be used directly, or as a reference to update your existing Docker definitions.
Suggested configuration
1. Using `--ipc=host` is also recommended when using Chromium—without it Chromium can run out of memory
and crash. Learn more about this option in [Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#ipc-settings---ipc).
1. Seeing other weird errors when launching Chromium? Try running your container
with `docker run --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN` when developing locally.
1. Using `--init` Docker flag or [dumb-init](https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init) is recommended to avoid special
treatment for processes with PID=1. This is a common reason for zombie processes.
### Azure Pipelines
For Windows or macOS agents, no additional configuration required, just install Playwright and run your tests.
For Linux agents, you can use [our Docker container](./docker.md) with Azure
Pipelines support [running containerized
jobs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/container-phases?view=azure-devops).
Alternatively, you can use [Command line tools](./cli.md#install-system-dependencies) to install all necessary dependencies.
```yml
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-20.04'
container: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.22.0-focal
steps:
...
```
### CircleCI
Running Playwright on CircleCI requires the following steps:
1. Use the pre-built [Docker image](./docker.md) in your config like so:
```yml
docker:
- image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.22.0-focal
environment:
NODE_ENV: development # Needed if playwright is in `devDependencies`
```
1. If youre using Playwright through Jest, then you may encounter an error spawning child processes:
```
[00:00.0] jest args: --e2e --spec --max-workers=36
Error: spawn ENOMEM
at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:394:11)
```
This is likely caused by Jest autodetecting the number of processes on the entire machine (`36`) rather than the number allowed to your container (`2`). To fix this, set `jest --maxWorkers=2` in your test command.
### Jenkins
Jenkins supports Docker agents for pipelines. Use the [Playwright Docker image](./docker.md)
to run tests on Jenkins.
```groovy
pipeline {
agent { docker { image 'mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.22.0-focal' } }
stages {
stage('e2e-tests') {
steps {
sh 'npm install'
sh 'npm run test'
}
}
}
}
```
### Bitbucket Pipelines
Bitbucket Pipelines can use public [Docker images as build environments](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-docker-images-as-build-environments-792298897.html). To run Playwright tests on Bitbucket, use our public Docker image ([see Dockerfile](./docker.md)).
```yml
image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.22.0-focal
```
### GitLab CI
To run Playwright tests on GitLab, use our public Docker image ([see Dockerfile](./docker.md)).
```yml
stages:
- test
tests:
stage: test
image: mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.22.0-focal
script:
...
```
## Caching browsers
By default, Playwright downloads browser binaries when the Playwright NPM package
is installed. The NPM packages have a `postinstall` hook that downloads the browser
binaries. This behavior can be [customized with environment variables](./browsers.md#managing-browser-binaries).
Caching browsers on CI is **strictly optional**: The `postinstall` hooks should
execute and download the browser binaries on every run.
#### Exception: `node_modules` are cached (Node-specific)
Most CI providers cache the [npm-cache](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli-commands/cache.html)
directory (located at `$HOME/.npm`). If your CI pipelines caches the `node_modules`
directory and you run `npm install` (instead of `npm ci`), the default configuration
**will not work**. This is because the `npm install` step will find the Playwright NPM
package on disk and not execute the `postinstall` step.
> Travis CI automatically caches `node_modules` if your repo does not have a
`package-lock.json` file.
This behavior can be fixed with one of the following approaches:
1. Move to caching `$HOME/.npm` or the npm-cache directory. (This is the default
behavior in most CI providers.)
1. Set `PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=0` as the environment variable before running
`npm install`. This will download the browser binaries in the `node_modules`
directory and cache them with the package code. See [managing browser binaries](./browsers.md#managing-browser-binaries).
1. Use `npm ci` (instead of `npm install`) which forces a clean install: by
removing the existing `node_modules` directory. See [npm docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/ci.html).
1. Cache the browser binaries, with the steps below.
#### Directories to cache
With the default behavior, Playwright downloads the browser binaries in the following
directories:
- `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ms-playwright` on Windows
- `~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright` on MacOS
- `~/.cache/ms-playwright` on Linux
To cache the browser downloads between CI runs, cache this location in your CI
configuration, against a hash of the Playwright version.
## Debugging browser launches
Playwright supports the `DEBUG` environment variable to output debug logs during execution. Setting it to `pw:browser*` is helpful while debugging `Error: Failed to launch browser` errors.
```bash js
DEBUG=pw:browser* npm run test
```
```bash python
DEBUG=pw:browser* pytest
```
## Running headed
By default, Playwright launches browsers in headless mode. This can be changed by passing a flag when the browser is launched.
```js
// Works across chromium, firefox and webkit
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
```
```java
// Works across chromium, firefox and webkit
import com.microsoft.playwright.*;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
BrowserType chromium = playwright.chromium();
Browser browser = chromium.launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false));
}
}
}
```
```python async
import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
async def main():
async with async_playwright() as p:
# Works across chromium, firefox and webkit
browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
asyncio.run(main())
```
```python sync
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
with sync_playwright() as p:
# Works across chromium, firefox and webkit
browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)
```
```csharp
using Microsoft.Playwright;
using var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();
await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync(new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions
{
Headless = false
});
```
On Linux agents, headed execution requires [Xvfb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb) to be installed. Our [Docker image](./docker.md) and GitHub Action have Xvfb pre-installed. To run browsers in headed mode with Xvfb, add `xvfb-run` before the Node.js command.
```bash js
xvfb-run node index.js
```
```bash python
xvfb-run python test.py
```
