All options available in Playwright Check Suites

To define your Playwright Check Suite, you use the checkly.config.ts/js file.

Each Playwright Check Suite is connected to an existing reference in your playwright.config.ts/js file. During the Alpha, a Playwright Check Suite can last up to 20 minutes. This limit is open to be increased / decreased after the alpha.

The following Playwright references are available to create a Playwright Monitor:

• pwProjects — select existing project names from your playwright configuration to create a playwright check.

• pwTags — select witch tags will be grouped into a playwright check.

You can combine pwTags and pwProjects to generate your check. For example:

checks: {
    playwrightConfigPath: './playwright.config.ts',
    playwrightChecks: [
      {
        // Run critical tagged tests in Chromium every minute from 4 locations
		name:"critical-tagged",
        pwTags: 'critical',
        pwProjects: 'chromium',
        frequency: Frequency.EVERY_1M,
		locations: ['us-east-1', 'eu-west-1','eu-central-1', 'ap-south-1'],
      },
    ],
  },

These are the available monitoring configuration options:

• installCommand: Override the command to install dependencies, by default it’ll use npm install --dev.

• activated: A boolean value to activate/run your check or not.

• muted: A boolean value to mute Alert notifications.

• frequency: How often the check will run. It supports:

  • Formatted time: frequency: Frequency.EVERY_10M,
  • Actual seconds: frequency:60,

• locations: An array of locations where to run your Checks.

• groupName: The group this check belongs to.

checks: {
   playwrightConfigPath: './playwright.config.ts', // specify your config file
   playwrightChecks: [
    {
	// Run E2E tagged tests across browsers in 4 locations
	name: 'E2E',
	pwProjects: ['chromium', 'firefox', 'webkit'], // Reference the project or projects in playwright.config file
	pwTags: 'e2e', // Reference an existing tag in your tests
	installCommand: 'npm install --dev', // Optionally override default dependencies install command
	testCommand: 'npx playwright test --grep@checkly --config=playwright.foo.config.ts', //Optionally override the default test command
	activated: true, // Optional - Activate the check so that it runs on a schedule, true by default
	muted: false, // Optional - Mute the check so that it doesn't send alerts
	groupName: 'production-group', // use the name of the group you created
	frequency: Frequency.EVERY_5M,
	locations: ['us-east-1', 'eu-west-1','eu-central-1', 'ap-south-1'],
	}
    ]
 },
