Troubleshooting Playwright

Troubleshooting Playwright integration with Currents

If you are experiencing issues with using @currents/playwright, enable debug mode to collect more information about the failure and submit a support request via our support channels.

TL;DR share the following information

Collect environment information

• Package Versions

• Currents Run ID or Dashboard URL associated with the issue

• Screenshots or video recordings if applicable

• Full error message, including the stack trace, if available

• Full and relevant CI execution logs with sensitive information redacted

• CI pipeline configuration

  • The exact commands used during the execution

  • Relevant configuration of the CI setup stages

Collect and share the debug logs

• npx pwc --pwc-debug=full ... OR

• npx pwc-p --pwc-debug=remote ... OR

• DEBUG=currents* playwright test ...

1. Collecting Environment Information

Please collect the following information to help us effectively debug the problem:

• The associated dashboard Run URL

• Screenshots if applicable

• Your setup method and configuration files

• The exact command used to run playwright

• Environment information (use the command below)

Use the following command to print information about your CI environment

npx envinfo --system --binaries --browsers --npmPackages --duplicates --npmGlobalPackages

2. Activate Debug Mode

Capture and share the full debug log - that will help the support person identify the root cause faster

@currents/playwright simplifies collecting the debug information by automatically uploading the logs to Currents.

To enable uploading the debug logs:

• For pwc command-line executable run pwc --pwc-debug=full OR

• For pwc-p run pwc-p --pwc-debug=full OR

• Set environment variable DEBUG=currents* playwright test...

--pwc-debug enables uploading the debug logs to our servers (see --pwc-debug [boolean | "remote" | "full"]:

• remote uploads the debug logs to Currents servers;

• full prints the logs to stdout and also upload them to Currents.

For example:

pwc

npx pwc --pwc-debug=full ... 

pwc-p

npx pwc-p --pwc-debug=full ... 

Environment variable

# on Linux
CURRENTS_PROJECT_ID=PROJECT_ID \ // the projectId from https://app.currents.dev
CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY=RECORD_KEY \ // the record key from https://app.currents.dev
CURRENTS_CI_BUILD_ID=hello-currents \ // a unique CI build ID
CURRENTS_DEBUG=full \
npx playwright test

# on Windows
## - set the environment variables first
cmd /V /C ^
set CURRENTS_DEBUG=full ^
set CURRENTS_PROJECT_ID=project_id&& ^
set CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY=record_key&& ^
set CURRENTS_CI_BUILD_ID=unique_build_id

## - the run the command
npx playwright test ...

When enabled, the debug logs will be uploaded to Currents servers and a confirmation message will be shown after the run's completion, for example:
