The Playwright Reporter for GitHub Actions

August 28, 2023

For developers leveraging GitHub Actions to automate workflows E2E tests, Playwright provides excellent documentation on its use with GitHub Actions. By default, the setup uses the HTML reporter, offering a detailed look at test results. However, I found myself longing for a more straightforward overview of these results. This led me to develop a GitHub Actions reporter.

When building applications, you can expect things to go wrong. For instance, calls you make to APIs like a server issue, incorrect formatted body, throttling, and much more.

End-to-End Test Microsoft 365 Solutions with Playwright

In the past, I have written a couple of articles about end-to-end (E2E) testing your SharePoint/Microsoft Teams solutions with Cypress, Puppeteer, and Playwright. I was a big fan of Cypress, but I must admit that Playwright caught up and became my favorite tool for E2E testing.

For the PnP Virtual Conference, I did a talk about how to start with UI testing. During the session, someone asked me why my preference is Cypress and not Selenium. As the session was only 30 minutes, it is hard to fit every bits and piece in it. That is the intention of this article to tell you why we are using Cypress.

End-to-End testing your Microsoft Teams solutions with Cypress

For a long time, I was looking for a way to start end-to-end test solutions in Microsoft Teams. The easiest way to start running these tests is against the web experience (https://teams.microsoft.com). That way, we can use tools like Cypress. Another reason to do these E2E tests with Cypress is that internally we use Cypress for all our E2E tests.

In the previous article, I explained how you could trick Cypress and SharePoint to load the whole page instead of a page on which most of the SharePoint controls did not load. Related article: How to make your site believe it isn’t running in an iframe during Cypress E2E tests.
