Package Exports

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (mm-playwright-slack-reporter) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

🚀 Features

💌 Send results your Playwright test results to one or more Slack channels
📊 Conditionally send results to Slack channels based on test results
📄 Include additional meta information into your test summary e.g. Branch, BuildId etc
🧑‍🎨 Define your own custom Slack message layout!

📦 Installation

Run following commands:

yarn

yarn add playwright-slack-report -D

npm

npm install playwright-slack-report -D

Modify your playwright.config.ts file to include the following:

  reporter: [
    [
      "./node_modules/playwright-slack-report/dist/src/SlackReporter.js",
      {
        channels: ["pw-tests", "ci"], // provide one or more Slack channels
        sendResults: "always", // "always" , "on-failure", "off"
      },
    ],
    ["dot"], // other reporters
  ],

Run your tests by providing your SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN as an environment variable or specifying slackOAuthToken option in the config:

SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN=[your Slack bot user OAUTH token] npx playwright test

NOTE: The Slack channel that you specify will need to be public, this app will not be able to publish messages to private channels.

🔎 How do I find my Slack bot oauth token?

You will need to have Slack administrator rights to perform the steps below.

Navigate to https://api.slack.com/apps
Click the Create New App button and select "From scratch"

Navigate to https://api.slack.com/apps

Input a name for your app and select the target workspace, then click on the Create App button

Input a name for your app and select the target workspace

Under the Features menu, select OAuth & Permissions and scroll down to Scopes section

Under the Features menu select

Click the Add an OAuth Scope button and select the following scopes:

Click the Add an OAuth Scope

chat:write
chat:write.public
chat:write.customize

Scroll up to the OAuth Tokens for Your Workspace and click the Install to Workspace button

Install

You will be prompted with the message below, click the Allow button

click the Allow button

The final step will be to copy the generated Bot User OAuth Token aka SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN.

Treat this token as a secret.

⚙️ Configuration

An example advanced configuration is shown below:

  import { generateCustomLayout } from "./my_custom_layout";
  import { LogLevel } from '@slack/web-api';
  ...

  reporter: [
    [
      "./node_modules/playwright-slack-report/dist/src/SlackReporter.js",
      {
        channels: ["pw-tests", "ci"], // provide one or more Slack channels
        sendResults: "always", // "always" , "on-failure", "off"
        layout: generateCustomLayout,
        maxNumberOfFailuresToShow: 4,
        meta: [
            {
                key: 'BUILD_NUMBER',
                value: '323332-2341',
            },
            {
                key: 'WHATEVER_ENV_VARIABLE',
                value: process.env.SOME_ENV_VARIABLE, // depending on your CI environment, this can be the branch name, build id, etc
            },
            {
                key: 'HTML Results',
                value: '<https://your-build-artifacts.my.company.dev/pw/23887/playwright-report/index.html|📊>',
            },
        ],
        slackOAuthToken: 'YOUR_SLACK_OAUTH_TOKEN',
        slackLogLevel: LogLevel.DEBUG
      },

    ],
  ],

channels

An array of Slack channels to post to, at least one channel is required

sendResults

Can either be "always", "on-failure" or "off", this configuration is required:

always - will send the results to Slack at completion of the test run
on-failure - will send the results to Slack only if a test failures are encountered
off - turns off the reporter, it will not send the results to Slack

layout

A function that returns a layout object, this configuration is optional. See section below for more details.

meta - an array of meta data to be sent to Slack, this configuration is optional.

layoutAsync

Same as layout above, but asynchronous in that it returns a promise.

maxNumberOfFailuresToShow

Limits the number of failures shown in the Slack message, defaults to 10.

slackOAuthToken

Instead of providing an environment variable SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN you can specify the token in the config in the slackOAuthToken field.

slackLogLevel (default LogLevel.DEBUG)

This option allows you to control slack client severity levels for log entries. It accepts a value from @slack/web-api LogLevel enum

Examples:

...
meta: [
  {
    key: 'Suite',
    value: 'Nightly full regression',
  },
  {
    key: 'GITHUB_REPOSITORY',
    value: 'octocat/telsa-ui',
  },
  {
    key: 'GITHUB_REF',
    value: process.env.GITHUB_REF,
  },
],
...

🎨 Define your own Slack message custom layout

You can define your own Slack message layout to suit your needs.

Firstly, install the necessary type definitions:

yarn add @slack/types -D

Next, define your layout function. The signature of this function should adhere to example below:

import { Block, KnownBlock } from "@slack/types";
import { SummaryResults } from "playwright-slack-report/dist/src";

const generateCustomLayout = (summaryResults: SummaryResults):Array<KnownBlock | Block> => {
  // your implementation goes here
}

export default generateCustomLayout;

In your, playwright.config.ts file, add your function into the config.

  import { generateCustomLayout } from "./my_custom_layout";

  ...

  reporter: [
    [
      "./node_modules/playwright-slack-report/dist/src/SlackReporter.js",
      {
        channels: ["pw-tests", "ci"], // provide one or more Slack channels
        sendResults: "always", // "always" , "on-failure", "off"
        layout: generateCustomLayout,
        ...
      },
    ],
  ],

Pro Tip: You can use the block-kit provided by Slack when creating your layout.

Examples:

Example 1: - very simple summary

import { Block, KnownBlock } from '@slack/types';
import { SummaryResults } from '..';

export default function generateCustomLayoutSimpleExample(
  summaryResults: SummaryResults,
): Array<Block | KnownBlock> {
  return [
    {
      type: 'section',
      text: {
        type: 'mrkdwn',
        text:
          summaryResults.failed === 0
            ? '🎉 All tests passed!'
            : `😭${summaryResults.failed} failure(s) out of ${summaryResults.tests.length} tests`,
      },
    },
  ];
}

Generates the following message in Slack:

Example 2: - very simple summary (with Meta information)

Add the meta block in your config:

  reporter: [
    [
      "./node_modules/playwright-slack-report/dist/src/SlackReporter.js",
      {
        channels: ["demo"],
        sendResults: "always", // "always" , "on-failure", "off",
        layout: generateCustomLayout,
        meta: [
          {
            key: 'EXAMPLE_META_node_env',
            value: process.env.HOME ,
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  ],

Create the function to generate the layout:

import { Block, KnownBlock } from '@slack/types';
import { SummaryResults } from '..';

export default function generateCustomLayoutSimpleMeta(
  summaryResults: SummaryResults,
): Array<Block | KnownBlock> {
  const meta: { type: string; text: { type: string; text: string; }; }[] = [];
  if (summaryResults.meta) {
    for (let i = 0; i < summaryResults.meta.length; i += 1) {
      const { key, value } = summaryResults.meta[i];
      meta.push({
        type: 'section',
        text: {
          type: 'mrkdwn',
          text: `\n*${key}* :\t${value}`,
        },
      });
    }
  }
  return [
    {
      type: 'section',
      text: {
        type: 'mrkdwn',
        text:
          summaryResults.failed === 0
            ? '🎉 All tests passed!'
            : `😭${summaryResults.failed} failure(s) out of ${summaryResults.tests.length} tests`,
      },
    },
    ...meta,
  ];
}

Generates the following message in Slack:

Example 3: - with screenshots and/or recorded videos

In your, playwright.config.ts file, add these params (Make sure you use layoutAsync rather than layout):

  import { generateCustomLayoutAsync } from "./my_custom_layout";
  ...
  reporter: [
    [
      "./node_modules/playwright-slack-report/dist/src/SlackReporter.js",
      {
        ...
        layoutAsync: generateCustomLayoutAsync,
        ...
      },
    ],
  ],
  use: {
    ...
    screenshot: "only-on-failure",
    video: "retain-on-failure",
    ...
  },

Create the function to generate the layout asynchronously in my_custom_layout.ts:

import fs from "fs";
import path from "path";
import { Block, KnownBlock } from "@slack/types";
import { SummaryResults } from "playwright-slack-report/dist/src";
import { PutObjectCommand, S3Client } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";

const s3Client = new S3Client({
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.S3_ACCESS_KEY || "",
    secretAccessKey: process.env.S3_SECRET || "",
  },
  region: process.env.S3_REGION,
});

async function uploadFile(filePath, fileName) {
  try {
    const ext = path.extname(filePath);
    const name = `${fileName}${ext}`;

    await s3Client.send(
      new PutObjectCommand({
        Bucket: process.env.S3_BUCKET,
        Key: name,
        Body: fs.createReadStream(filePath),
      })
    );

    return `https://${process.env.S3_BUCKET}.s3.${process.env.S3_REGION}.amazonaws.com/${name}`;
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("🔥🔥 Error", err);
  }
}


export async function generateCustomLayoutAsync (summaryResults: SummaryResults): Promise<Array<KnownBlock | Block>> {
  const { tests } = summaryResults;
  // create your custom slack blocks

  const header = {
    type: "header",
    text: {
      type: "plain_text",
      text: "🎭 *Playwright E2E Test Results*",
      emoji: true,
    },
  };

  const summary = {
    type: "section",
    text: {
      type: "mrkdwn",
      text: `✅ *${summaryResults.passed}* | ❌ *${summaryResults.failed}* | ⏩ *${summaryResults.skipped}*`,
    },
  };

  const fails: Array<KnownBlock | Block> = [];

  for (const t of tests) {
    if (t.status === "failed" || t.status === "timedOut") {

      fails.push({
        type: "section",
        text: {
          type: "mrkdwn",
          text: `👎 *[${t.browser}] | ${t.suiteName.replace(/\W/gi, "-")}*`,
        },
      });

      const assets: Array<string> = [];

      if (t.attachments) {
        for (const a of t.attachments) {
          // Upload failed tests screenshots and videos to the service of your choice
          // In my case I upload the to S3 bucket
          const permalink = await uploadFile(
            a.path,
            `${t.suiteName}--${t.name}`.replace(/\W/gi, "-").toLowerCase()
          );

          if (permalink) {
            let icon = "";
            if (a.name === "screenshot") {
              icon = "📸";
            } else if (a.name === "video") {
              icon = "🎥";
            }

            assets.push(`${icon}  See the <${permalink}|${a.name}>`);
          }
        }
      }

      if (assets.length > 0) {
        fails.push({
          type: "context",
          elements: [{ type: "mrkdwn", text: assets.join("\n") }],
        });
      }
    }
  }

  return [header, summary, { type: "divider" }, ...fails]
}

Also you can upload the attachments to slack. But it might be more expensive for you and also you'll have to extend the scope.

...
const web_api_1 = require('@slack/web-api');
const slackClient = new web_api_1.WebClient(process.env.SLACK_BOT_USER_OAUTH_TOKEN);

async function uploadFile(filePath) {
  try {
    const result = await slackClient.files.uploadV2({
      channels: 'you_cannel_name',
      file: fs.createReadStream(filePath),
      filename: filePath.split('/').at(-1),
    });

    return result.file;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('🔥🔥 error', error);
  }
}

export async function generateCustomLayoutAsync (summaryResults: SummaryResults): Promise<Array<KnownBlock | Block>> {
  const { tests } = summaryResults;
  ....
  // See the snippet above ^^^


    if (t.attachments) {
      for (const a of t.attachments) {
        const file = await uploadFile(a.path);

        if (file) {
          if (a.name === 'screenshot' && file.permalink) {
            fails.push({
              alt_text: '',
              image_url: file.permalink,
              title: { type: 'plain_text', text: file.name || '' },
              type: 'image',
            });
          }

          if (a.name === 'video' && file.permalink) {
            fails.push({
              alt_text: '',
              // NOTE:
              // Slack requires thumbnail_url length to be more that 0
              // Either set screenshot url as the thumbnail or add a placeholder image url
              thumbnail_url: '',
              title: { type: 'plain_text', text: file.name || '' },
              type: 'video',
              video_url: file.permalink,
            });
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ....

  return [header, summary, { type: "divider" }, ...fails]
}
