Installation

Install either package (same features):

npm install --save-dev testreport.io-local

npm install --save-dev playwright-testreport-io

Quick Start

Playwright config (ESM)

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

export default defineConfig({
  reporter: [
    ['list'],
    ['html', { open: 'never' }],
    ['testreport.io-local/reporter', { outputDir: 'testreport', fileName: 'results.json' }]
  ],
});

If you installed playwright-testreport-io, use:

['playwright-testreport-io/reporter', { outputDir: 'testreport', fileName: 'results.json' }]

Playwright config (CommonJS)

const { defineConfig } = require('@playwright/test');

module.exports = defineConfig({
  reporter: [
    ['list'],
    ['html', { open: 'never' }],
    ['playwright-testreport-io/reporter', { outputDir: 'testreport', fileName: 'results.json' }]
  ],
});

Run tests

npx playwright test

Reports are written to testreport/<runId>/results.json.

View Your Report

npx playwright-viewer serve

Opens http://localhost:4173 and reads from the testreport folder in your project.

# Custom port
npx playwright-viewer serve --port 4300

# Custom report directory
npx playwright-viewer serve --report-dir ./testreport

Dashboard

Interactive Playwright HTML report with pass / fail / skipped / flaky overview, charts, search, filters, and run history.

Flaky Test Detection

Detects tests that failed on an earlier attempt and passed on retry — the same flaky model Playwright uses. Review attempt history, earlier failure reason, and stabilize flaky cases faster.

Failure Analytics

Investigate failures with clear problem summaries, recommended actions, defect types, top failure reasons, and run comparison (new / fixed / still failing).

Screenshots, Videos & Test Artifacts

Open screenshots, videos, traces, console output, and step-by-step details for each test — all from the local dashboard.

PDF & Excel Export

Export manager-ready PDF summaries and Excel spreadsheets from the dashboard — plus HTML dashboard and JSON exports for sharing and archives.

CI/CD

Works with any CI that runs Playwright. Example GitHub Actions step:

- name: Run Playwright tests
  run: npx playwright test

- name: Upload TestReport.io results
  if: always()
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
  with:
    name: testreport
    path: testreport/

Then download the artifact and open locally:

npx playwright-viewer serve --report-dir ./testreport

Local & Private

Test results stay in your project environment. Nothing is uploaded to a cloud account. Ideal for private repos, regulated teams, and local debugging.

TestReport.io vs Playwright HTML Report

| | Playwright HTML Report | TestReport.io Local | |---|---|---| | Built-in with Playwright | ✅ | Custom reporter + dashboard | | Live analytics dashboard | Basic | ✅ Charts, trends, comparison | | Flaky attempt insights | Limited | ✅ Retry-aware flaky view | | Failure investigation | Error + steps | ✅ Problem / action / defect type | | PDF / Excel export | — | ✅ | | Local-only | ✅ | ✅ |

Use both together if you want — Playwright’s HTML report and TestReport.io can run side by side.

TestReport.io vs Allure

| | Allure | TestReport.io Local | |---|---|---| | Scope | Multi-framework (JS, Python, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, …) | Playwright-first | | Setup | Allure CLI / adapters | One reporter + npx playwright-viewer serve | | PDF / Excel | Not native | ✅ Built-in | | Runtime deps | Toolchain required | Zero runtime dependencies | | Cloud | Optional / ecosystem | Local only |

TestReport.io vs ExtentReports

| | ExtentReports | TestReport.io Local | |---|---|---| | Scope | Broader reporting APIs, tags, devices, authors | Playwright-first dashboard | | Playwright fit | Integration-based | Native Playwright reporter | | PDF / Excel | Depends on reporter | ✅ Built-in | | Flaky / retry insights | Depends on integration | ✅ Built-in | | Local dashboard | Varies | ✅ Interactive HTML |
