CMD [ "npx", "playwright", "test", "--reporter=list" ]I am not able to view the report generated after running the tests . i tried running npx playwright show-report from CL in vscode and from the container in docker desktop. No luck viewing the report. Any help would be great

Answer
Accessing Playwright Test Reports in Docker
First, ensure Playwright is installed in your Docker container. You can include the installation commands in your Dockerfile or run them manually inside the container.
Next, run your tests inside the Docker container. Use the command npx playwright test followed by the path to your test files. Don't forget to include any necessary flags or options for running tests in headless mode or with specific browsers.
npx playwright test /path/to/your/test/filesAfter running the tests, Playwright generates an HTML report with detailed test results. To access this report, extract it from the Docker container and open it in a web browser.
To extract the HTML report from the Docker container, you can:
- Navigate to the directory on your host machine where you've mounted a volume or bind mount for storing artifacts generated during testing. Locate the HTML report file there.
- Or, if no volume or bind mount was used, copy the HTML report file from within the Docker container to your host machine using the
docker cpcommand.
docker cp containerId:/path/to/report.html /host/path/to/report.htmlOnce you have the HTML report file on your host machine, serve it using a local web server. You can do this within a folder where Playwright is installed.
Change into the directory where you extracted the HTML report file and use npx playwright show-report followed by the name (or path) of the report.
cd /path/to/report
npx playwright show-report report.htmlThis starts a local web server that serves up the report. Now you can view your test results in detail!
