GitHub Actions CI
Run Playwright tests in a GitHub Actions workflow
yaml
# .github/workflows/playwright.yml
name: Playwright Tests
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 20
- run: npm ci
- run: npx playwright install --with-deps
- run: npx playwright test
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}
with:
name: playwright-report
path: playwright-report/💡 --with-deps installs system libraries needed by browsers on the CI runner
⚡ Upload the HTML report as an artifact to debug failures without re-running
📌 Use if: ${{ !cancelled() }} so the report uploads even when tests fail
🟢 The init command generates this workflow automatically — customize as needed
