Using Testconfig.project.name in Playwright

The Testconfig.project.name property in Playwright helps you manage multiple test projects. Each project in your playwright.config.ts file is represented as an object in the projects array. You can set the name of each project using Testconfig.project.name.

// playwright.config.ts
module.exports = {
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'staging',
      // other project-specific configurations
    },
    {
      name: 'production',
      // other project-specific configurations
    },
  ],
};

This naming convention helps you differentiate between projects when running tests. It also aids in organizing your tests across different environments or platforms.

Remember, all properties of TestProject are available in the top-level TestConfig. They are shared between all projects unless overridden at the project level. For instance, if you set a timeout value at the TestConfig level, it applies to all projects.

// playwright.config.ts
module.exports = {
  timeout: 30000, // applies to all projects
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'staging',
      timeout: 60000, // overrides the top-level timeout for 'staging' project
    },
    {
      name: 'production',
      // uses the top-level timeout of 30000
    },
  ],
};

Other project-specific properties include retries and testMatch. Retries define how many times a failed test should be retried before giving up. TestMatch specifies which files to include when running tests for a particular project.

Using Testconfig.project.name is a crucial step in managing multiple test projects in Playwright. It simplifies differentiation between configurations and aids in organizing tests across multiple environments.
