Meet the List Reporter in Playwright Test

The List reporter is a built-in reporter in @playwright/test. It's a great choice if you want a concise report of your tests without any color code characters.

What Does It Do?

The List reporter prints a line for each test run and provides detailed information about failures. It's more concise than other reporters and doesn't contain color code characters.

Here's an example of what the output looks like:

1 ✓ should access error in env (438ms)
2 ✓ handle long test names (515ms)
3 x 1) render expected (691ms)
4 ✓ should timeout (932ms)
5 should repeat each:
6 ✓ should respect enclosing .gitignore (569ms)
7 should teardown env after timeout:
8 should respect excluded tests:
9 ✓ should handle env beforeEach error (638ms)
10 should respect enclosing .gitignore:

In this example, you can see that there are 10 tests in total. Out of these, 8 have passed successfully and 1 has failed (render expected). The remaining test (should repeat each) does not have a specific pass/fail status mentioned.

How to Use It

To use the List reporter, specify it as your desired reporter format in your Playwright configuration file (playwright.config.ts). Here's how you can do that:

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

export default defineConfig({
  reporter: 'list',
});

By setting reporter to 'list', you enable the List reporter format for your test runs. This will give you a basic report of the number of tests passed, failed, etc. without any color code characters.

So, if you're looking for a straightforward and concise test report, give the List reporter a try!
