@bmayhew/playwright-json-summary-reporter

This package can be installed to generate a simple summary.json file that can be used as apart of a Playwright Test automation framework. My main use case for building this is to have quick access to a list of failed or succeeded tests for re-running failures (outside of playwright's retry functionality). I also use this as a way to quickly identify if all tests passed within a github action.

Install

npm install @butchmayhew/playwright-json-summary-reporter --save-dev

Usage

Modify your playwright.config.ts file to include the reporter:

  reporter: [
    ['@butchmayhew/playwright-json-summary-reporter'],
    ['html'], // other reporters
    ['dot']
  ],

Now when you run a test there should be a new file summary.json that gets saved to the root of the directory. An example of the file is shown below.

{
  "durationInMS": 41565,
  "passed": [
    "api/create-user-account.spec.ts:34:3",
    "api/create-user-account.spec.ts:55:3",
    "api/delete-user-account.spec.ts:47:3",
    "api/login.spec.ts:12:3",
    "api/login.spec.ts:37:3",

  ],

}
