## CLI Commands
```bash
# Display last HTML report
npx playwright show-report
# Specify reporter
npx playwright test --reporter=html
npx playwright test --reporter=dot # minimal CI output
npx playwright test --reporter=line # one line per test
npx playwright test --reporter=json # machine-readable
npx playwright test --reporter=junit # CI integration
# Combine reporters
npx playwright test --reporter=dot,html
# Merge sharded reports
npx playwright merge-reports --reporter=html ./blob-report
```
## Reporter Configuration
### Environment-Based Setup
```typescript
// playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: process.env.CI
? [
['dot'],
['html', { open: 'never' }],
['junit', { outputFile: 'results/junit.xml' }],
['github'],
]
: [
['list'],
['html', { open: 'on-failure' }],
],
});
```
### Reporter Types
| Reporter | Output | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| `list` | One line per test | Local development |
| `line` | Single updating line | Local, less verbose |
| `dot` | `.` pass, `F` fail | CI logs |
| `html` | Interactive HTML page | Post-run analysis |
| `json` | Machine-readable JSON | Custom tooling |
| `junit` | JUnit XML | CI platforms |
| `github` | PR annotations | GitHub Actions |
| `blob` | Binary archive | Shard merging |
### JSON Output to File
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: [
['json', { outputFile: 'results/output.json' }],
],
});
```
### JUnit Customization
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: [
['junit', {
outputFile: 'results/junit.xml',
stripANSIControlSequences: true,
includeProjectInTestName: true,
}],
],
});
```
## Custom Reporter
Build custom reporters for Slack notifications, database logging, or dashboards.
```typescript
// reporters/notification-reporter.ts
import type {
FullResult,
Reporter,
TestCase,
TestResult,
} from '@playwright/test/reporter';
class NotificationReporter implements Reporter {
private passed = 0;
private failed = 0;
private skipped = 0;
private failures: string[] = [];
onTestEnd(test: TestCase, result: TestResult) {
switch (result.status) {
case 'passed':
this.passed++;
break;
case 'failed':
case 'timedOut':
this.failed++;
this.failures.push(`${test.title}: ${result.error?.message?.split('\n')[0]}`);
break;
case 'skipped':
this.skipped++;
break;
}
}
async onEnd(result: FullResult) {
const total = this.passed + this.failed + this.skipped;
const status = this.failed > 0 ? 'FAILED' : 'PASSED';
const message = [
`Tests ${status}`,
`Passed: ${this.passed} | Failed: ${this.failed} | Skipped: ${this.skipped}`,
`Duration: ${(result.duration / 1000).toFixed(1)}s`,
];
if (this.failures.length > 0) {
message.push('', 'Failures:');
this.failures.slice(0, 5).forEach((f) => message.push(` - ${f}`));
if (this.failures.length > 5) {
message.push(` ...and ${this.failures.length - 5} more`);
}
}
const webhookUrl = process.env.NOTIFICATION_WEBHOOK;
if (webhookUrl) {
const controller = new AbortController();
const timeout = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
try {
await fetch(webhookUrl, {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text: message.join('\n') }),
signal: controller.signal,
});
} catch (error) {
// Intentionally swallow notifier failures to avoid blocking test completion
console.warn('Webhook notification failed:', error.message);
} finally {
clearTimeout(timeout);
}
}
}
}
export default NotificationReporter;
```
**Register custom reporter:**
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: [
['dot'],
['html', { open: 'never' }],
['./reporters/notification-reporter.ts'],
],
});
```
## Trace Configuration
Traces capture actions, network requests, DOM snapshots, and console logs.
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
use: {
trace: 'on-first-retry',
},
});
```
### Trace Options
| Value | Behavior | Overhead |
|---|---|---|
| `'off'` | Never records | None |
| `'on'` | Every test | High |
| `'on-first-retry'` | On first retry after failure | Minimal |
| `'retain-on-failure'` | Records all, keeps failures | Medium |
| `'retain-on-first-failure'` | Records all, keeps first failure | Medium |
### Viewing Traces
```bash
# Local trace viewer
npx playwright show-trace results/my-test/trace.zip
# From HTML report (click Traces tab)
npx playwright show-report
# Online viewer: https://trace.playwright.dev
```
## Screenshot & Video Settings
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
use: {
screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
video: 'retain-on-failure',
},
});
```
### Video with Custom Size
```typescript
use: {
video: {
mode: 'retain-on-failure',
size: { width: 1280, height: 720 },
},
},
```
### Screenshot Options
| Value | Captures | Disk Cost |
|---|---|---|
| `'off'` | Never | None |
| `'on'` | Every test | High |
| `'only-on-failure'` | Failed tests | Low |
### Video Options
| Value | Records | Keeps | Disk Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| `'off'` | Never | — | None |
| `'on'` | Every test | All | Very high |
| `'on-first-retry'` | On retry | Retried | Low |
| `'retain-on-failure'` | Every test | Failed | Medium |
## Artifact Directory Structure
```text
test-results/
├── checkout-test-chromium/
│ ├── trace.zip
│ ├── test-failed-1.png
│ └── video.webm
├── login-test-firefox/
│ ├── trace.zip
│ └── test-failed-1.png
└── junit.xml

└── report-1.zip
```
## CI Artifact Upload
### GitHub Actions
```yaml
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
if: ${{ !cancelled() }}
with:
name: playwright-report
path: playwright-report/
retention-days: 14
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
if: failure()
with:
name: test-traces
path: |
test-results/**/trace.zip
test-results/**/*.png
test-results/**/*.webm
retention-days: 7
```
## Decision Guide
| Scenario | Reporter Configuration |
|---|---|
| Local development | `[['list'], ['html', { open: 'on-failure' }]]` |
| GitHub Actions | `[['dot'], ['html'], ['github']]` |
| GitLab CI | `[['dot'], ['html'], ['junit']]` |
| Azure DevOps / Jenkins | `[['dot'], ['html'], ['junit']]` |
| Sharded CI | `[['blob'], ['github']]` |
| Custom dashboard | `[['json', { outputFile: '...' }]]` + custom reporter |
| Artifact | When to Collect | Retention | Upload Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTML report | Always | 14 days | `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}` |
| Traces | On failure | 7 days | `if: failure()` |
| Screenshots | On failure | 7 days | `if: failure()` |
| Videos | On failure | 7 days | `if: failure()` |
| JUnit XML | Always | 14 days | `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}` |
| Blob report | Always (sharded) | 1 day | `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}` |
## Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No reporter configured | Default `list` only; no persistent report | Configure `html` + CI reporter |
| `trace: 'on'` in CI | Massive artifacts, slow uploads | Use `trace: 'on-first-retry'` |
| `video: 'on'` in CI | Enormous storage, slower tests | Use `video: 'retain-on-failure'` |
| Upload artifacts only on failure | No report when tests pass | Upload with `if: ${{ !cancelled() }}` |
| No retention limits | CI storage fills quickly | Set `retention-days: 7-14` |
| Only `dot` reporter | Cannot drill into failures | Pair `dot` with `html` |
| JUnit to stdout | Interferes with console output | Write to file |
| Blocking `onEnd` in custom reporter | Slow HTTP calls delay pipeline | Use `Promise.race` with timeout |
## Troubleshooting
### Empty HTML Report
Check reporter config. HTML report defaults to `playwright-report/`:
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: [['html', { outputFolder: 'playwright-report', open: 'never' }]],
});
```
### Traces Too Large
Switch from `trace: 'on'` to `'on-first-retry'` with retries enabled:
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
use: {
trace: 'on-first-retry',
},
});
```
### JUnit XML Not Recognized
Ensure path matches CI configuration:
```typescript
reporter: [['junit', { outputFile: 'results/junit.xml' }]],
```
```yaml
# GitHub Actions
- uses: dorny/test-reporter@latest
with:
path: results/junit.xml
reporter: java-junit
# Azure DevOps
- task: PublishTestResults@latest
inputs:
testResultsFiles: 'results/junit.xml'
# Jenkins
junit 'results/junit.xml'
```
### Empty Merged Report
Use `blob` reporter for sharded runs (not `html`):
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
reporter: process.env.CI
? [['blob'], ['dot']]
: [['html', { open: 'on-failure' }]],
});
```
### Missing Screenshots in Report
Enable screenshots and keep both directories:
```typescript
use: {
screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
},
```
The HTML report embeds screenshots from `test-results/`. Deleting that directory removes screenshots from the report.
