How do I execute tests for individual projects with unique database configurations in a playwright.config.ts file?

Answer

Sure, you can run individual projects with unique database configurations in a playwright.config.ts file using the --project command line option.

Here's how you can define multiple projects in your playwright.config.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'Project 1',
      use: {
        baseURL: 'https://ray.run',
        databaseSettings: {
          host: 'localhost',
          port: 3306,
          username: 'user1',
          password: 'password1',
        },
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'Project 2',
      use: {
        baseURL: 'https://ray.run',
        databaseSettings: {
          host: 'localhost',
          port: 5432,
          username:'user2',
          password:'password2'
        },
      },
    },
  ],
});

To run a specific project, use the --project command line option followed by the project name:

npx playwright test --project="Project 1"

This command will run only the tests for "Project 1" with its specific configuration and database settings.

To run "Project 2", use:

npx playwright test --project="Project 2"

By using the --project option, you can run the projects one by one with their respective database settings. This allows you to test different environments or configurations without affecting other projects. Remember to replace "Project 1" and "Project 2" with your actual project names.
