🎭 Playwright Zephyr Jira Reporter

A custom Playwright test reporter that integrates seamlessly with Zephyr Scale and Jira, allowing you to automatically publish test results, link test executions, and keep traceability across QA processes.

🧪 Designed to streamline test reporting and keep your QA workflow in sync with your project management tools.

✨ Features

✅ Automatic Zephyr Test Case Update

Each Playwright test must include the corresponding Zephyr Test Case Key in its title (e.g., CYP-T123: should login with valid credentials). After execution:

• The test result is reported to Zephyr.

• Each individual test step status is updated based on the execution outcome, making it easier to identify which step failed.

🐞 Automatic Bug Creation in Jira

If a test fails:

• A bug is automatically created in Jira.

The issue contains:

• A custom field with the Zephyr Test Case Key

• A detailed description including: The failed steps The exact error message encountered during test execution

🔁 Jira Issue Status Management

• If a related Jira issue is already in "Testing", and the test is Faild: The issue is moved to "In Progress".

• If the test passes successfully: The issue status is transitioned to "Done".

📋 Step Synchronization

Zephyr Test Cases must have exactly the same steps as defined in the Playwright test. This ensures step-by-step result tracking and consistency.

🧩 Custom Field Requirement in Jira

Jira must have a custom field configured to store the Zephyr Test Case Key for proper linkage between test results and issues.

📦 Installation

bash

npm install -D @gurglosa/playwright-zephyr-jira-reporter

Or with Yarn:

yarn add -D @gurglosa/playwright-zephyr-jira-reporter

⚙️ Configuration

export default defineConfig({
  reporter: [
    ['@gurglosa/playwright-zephyr-jira-reporter/dist/Reporter/ZephyrJiraReporter', {
      Zephyr_Base_URL: 'https://api.zephyrscale.example.com/v2',
      Zephyr_Access_Token: 'yourtoken',
      Zephyr_Test_Cycle_ID: 'TEST-CYCLE-123',
      Zephyr_Test_Project_Key: 'TEST',
      Zephyr_Enabled: true,

      Jira_Base_URL: 'https://example.atlassian.net',
      Jira_Access_Token: 'EXAMPLE123',
      Jira_Email: '[email protected]',
      Jira_project_Key: 'TEST',npx
      Jira_Enabled: true,

    }],
  ],
});

You Have to set Your Jira Status ID in JiraService.ts

export enum IssueStatusTransition {
    to_do = '11',
    in_progress = '21',
    done = '31',
    ready_for_testing = '3',
    testing = '2'
}

🧪 Test Case Linking

To link a test with a Zephyr Scale test case or Jira issue, use a tag in the test title or annotations:

test('[GLS-T108] should navigate to the Playwright homepage', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
    await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Playwrightr/);
});

📄 Environment Variables (Optional)

To avoid hardcoding credentials, use environment variables:

ZEPHYR_JIRA_BASE_URL=https://your-domain.atlassian.net
[email protected]
ZEPHYR_JIRA_TOKEN=your-api-token

You can then reference these in your playwright.config.ts:

jiraBaseUrl: process.env.ZEPHYR_JIRA_BASE_URL,
jiraUser: process.env.ZEPHYR_JIRA_USER,
jiraToken: process.env.ZEPHYR_JIRA_TOKEN,

✅ Best Practices

• Use consistent test case IDs ([ZEPHYR-T123]) across your tests.
• Create dedicated test cycles for each run or CI pipeline.
• Use Jira workflows that align with your team's status mapping.

⚠️ Warnings ⚠️

• All tests that need to be run must be grouped into one specific cycle.
• Ensure your Zephyr Scale and Jira credentials are stored securely. Avoid committing sensitive information to version control.
• Misconfigured environment variables or reporter settings may result in failed test result uploads or incorrect data mapping.
• Be cautious when modifying IssueStatusTransition values in JiraService.ts, as incorrect mappings can disrupt Jira workflows.
• Always validate your test case IDs and ensure they exist in Zephyr Scale or Jira before running tests.
• Using outdated versions of the reporter may lead to compatibility issues with Playwright or API changes in Zephyr Scale/Jira.
• Excessive API calls to Zephyr Scale or Jira may lead to rate-limiting or account suspension. Use the reporter responsibly.
• Test execution data is irreversible once uploaded. Double-check configurations before running in production environments.
• Ensure your Playwright version is compatible with the reporter to avoid unexpected behavior.
• Avoid hardcoding sensitive data directly in your configuration files; use environment variables instead.
• Regularly review and update your API tokens to maintain security and access compliance.
