To run tests against different environments in parallel, you can use the dotenv
package to manage environment variables in your configuration file. First, create multiple .env
files with different configurations, such as .env.staging
and .env.production
.
Install dotenv
:
npm install dotenv
In your configuration file, import dotenv
and call the config()
method with the desired .env
file path:
import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv';
import * as path from 'path';
dotenv.config({ path: path.resolve(__dirname, '.env.staging') });
const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
use: {
baseURL: process.env.BASE_URL || 'https://ray.run',
},
};
export default config;
To run tests against multiple .env
files in parallel, pass different values for environment variables when running tests from the command line or CI/CD pipeline. For example:
ENV_FILE=.env.staging npx playwright test
In your CI/CD pipeline, like GitHub Actions or Travis CI, define multiple jobs with different values for environment variables and run them in parallel.
With dotenv
and Playwright Test, you can easily switch between different configurations by passing appropriate values for environment variables when running tests from the command line or CI/CD pipeline.
If you still have questions, please ask a question and I will try to answer it.
