Playwright CI/CD

Ship reliable tests in every pipeline — CI-specific patterns for speed, stability, and actionable reports.

9 guides covering CI/CD setup, parallel execution, containerized runs, reporting, and infrastructure patterns for all major CI providers.

Golden Rules

  1. retries: 2
    in CI only
    — surface flakiness in pipelines, not locally
  2. traces: 'on-first-retry'
    — capture rich debugging artifacts without slowing every run
  3. Shard across runners
    --shard=N/M
    splits tests evenly; scale horizontally, not vertically
  4. Cache browser binaries
    ~/.cache/ms-playwright
    keyed on Playwright version
  5. Upload artifacts on failure — traces, screenshots, and HTML reports as CI artifacts
  6. Use the official Docker image
    mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v*
    has all OS deps pre-installed
  7. Global setup for auth — run login once in
    globalSetup
    , reuse
    storageState
    across workers
  8. Fail fast, debug later — keep CI runs short; use trace viewer and HTML reports to investigate
