Configuration

@currents/playwright configuration reference

Configuration Sources

@currents/playwright accepts configuration from the following sources:

• ⭐️ Preferred: reading currents.config.ts file

• Environment variables, e.g. CURRENTS_TAG=tagA,tagB

• CLI command options, e.g. npx pwc ---tag tagA --tag tagB

• Inline configuration in playwright.config.ts e.g. reporters: [currentsReporter(options)]

We recommend using currents.config.ts as the preferred method for defining the configution — the file is evaluated at runtime, i.e. you can make is smart.

For example:

import { OrchestrationStatus, CurrentsConfig } from "@currents/playwright";

function getCIBuildId() {
  return "example";
}
const onFinish = async (result: OrchestrationStatus) => {
    console.log("Orchestration finished with status", result);
};

const config: CurrentsConfig = {
  recordKey: process.env.CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY || throw new Error("oh no!"),
  projectId: process.env.CURRENTS_PROJECT_ID,
  ciBuildId: getCIBuildId(),
  orchestration: {
    skipReporterInjection: true,
    onFinish,
  },
};

export default config;

Configuration Overrides

Configuration values will resolve as follows:

• environment variable value if exists, otherwise

• corresponding CLI parameter value if exists, otherwise

• value from playwright.config.ts if exists, otherwise

• value from currents.config.ts if exists, otherwise

• the default value, otherwise

• throw if the value is mandatory

Example of using environment variables

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 \ // the CI build ID 
CURRENTS_TAG=tagA,tagB \
npx playwright test

Windows

Reference

ciBuildId *

• Type: string

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_CI_BUILD_ID

Required. The ID of the build to associate the test run with. See CI Build ID.

---

projectId *

• Type: string

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_PROJECT_ID

Required. The Currents project ID used for reporting. See Projects.

---

recordKey *

• Type: string

• Default: Required

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_RECORD_KEY

Required. Secret key used to authenticate and upload results to Currents. See Record Key.

---

tag

• Type: string[]

• Default: []

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_TAG=tagA,tagB

Tags added to the test run metadata. See Playwright Tags.

---

removeTitleTags

• Type: boolean

• Default: false

• Environment variable: N/A

Remove inline tags like @smoke from test titles when processing test results on Currents servers. Helps to keep the test title consistent and keep test history when tags change.

---

disableTitleTags

• Type: boolean

• Default: false

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_DISABLE_TITLE_TAGS

Prevent parsing tags like @smoke from test titles.

---

disableTestTags

• Type: boolean

• Default: false

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_DISABLE_TEST_TAGS

Prevent reporting tags parsed from test title and the conventional Playwright Tags that appear in test definitions.

---

cancelAfterFailures

• Type: number | false

• Default: false

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_CANCEL_AFTER_FAILURES

Stop the run after a number of failures. The number of failures is determined from all the results reported to the associated run (i.e. from multiple machines). Pass false to disable. See Failing Fast.

---

testSuiteFile

• Type: string

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_TEST_SUITE_FILE

Full path to the test suite file used for orchestration and reporting. Mostly used internally.

---

machineId

• Type: string

• Default: CURRENTS_MACHINE_ID

• Environment variable: N/A

Optional unique machine identifier. Mostly used internally.

---

orchestrationId

• Type: string

• Default: Auto-generated

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_ORCHESTRATION_ID

Unique orchestration ID for the run. Mostly used internally.

---

outputFile

• Type: string

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_OUTPUT_FILE

File path for the JSON output summary. The TypeScript definition of the contents is available:

import type { ExecutionJSONSummary } from '@currents/playwright'

---

orchestration

Set of configuration items related to Orchestration Setup.

orchestration.resetSignal

• Type: SIGUSR1 | SIGUSR2

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: N/A

Signal used to reset the tests running on the machine. See Cloud Spot Instances.

orchestration.skipReporterInjection

• Type: boolean

• Default: false

• Environment variable: N/A

Prevents pwc-p from automatically configuring Playwright to use Currents reporter . If see, you must add Currents reporter manuall. See Orchestration Setup.

orchestration.onFinish

• Type: (status: OrchestrationStatus) => Promise<void>

• Default: undefined

• Environment variable: N/A

Optional async callback called after orchestration completes. The callback runs on each machine that is part of an orchestrated run. The parameter status contains aggregated results from all the participating machines. The TypeScript definition of the contents is available:

import type { OrchestrationStatus } from "@currents/playwright";

orchestration.batchSize

• Type: "auto" | number

• Default: auto

• Environment variable: CURRENTS_BATCH_SIZE

• Released in: 1.13.0

Sets the batch size for orchestration. Batch size defines how many parallel workers should be used for the orchestration.

• auto infers the batch size from Playwright workers.

• number explicitly sets the batch size, must be greater than 0

Defining this variable will override any project level batch size/workers definition. Project level settings are available on @currents/playwright starting at version 1.14.0.

coverage.projects

• Type: boolean | string[]

• true | []: enable for all projects

• string[]: only enable for specified projects

• false | undefined: disabled

coverage.dir

• Type: string

• Default: .nyc_output

• Environment variable: N/A

Directory path for reading coverage reports. See Code Coverage for Playwright.
