To configure a proxy in a YAML file for installing Playwright in GitHub Actions, you'll need to follow these steps:
Create a new file in your repository called .github/workflows/main.yml
. This file will define your GitHub Actions workflow.
In the main.yml
file, define the workflow with the necessary steps to install Playwright and run your tests. You'll need to use the actions/setup-node
action to set up a Node.js environment and the microsoft/playwright-github-action
action to install Playwright dependencies.
To set up a proxy, you'll need to use the http_proxy
and https_proxy
environment variables. Add these variables to the env
section of the actions/setup-node
step.
Here's an example of a complete main.yml
file:
name: Playwright Tests
on: [push]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Set up Node.js
uses: actions/setup-node@v2
env:
http_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
https_proxy: http://proxy.example.com:8080
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Install Playwright dependencies
uses: microsoft/playwright-github-action@v1
- name: Run tests
run: npm test
Replace proxy.example.com:8080
with your proxy server's address and port.
Now, when you push changes to your repository, GitHub Actions will run your Playwright tests using the specified proxy.
