Playwright on Sauce Labs

Playwright is a testing framework that you can use to test your web apps — either locally in Docker or remotely on Sauce Labs Cloud — using the saucectl CLI. This gives you the flexibility to run your tests in the environment that best suits your organization, while still benefiting from the Sauce Labs vast collection of devices, browser, and operating system combinations and test result data analytics.

System Requirements

You can run saucectl locally via Docker (Installation Requirements) or remotely via the Sauce Labs cloud, so system requirements vary depending on your intention. The following reference serves as a general guide:

macOS

• OS: 10.14+ (Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur)
• Docker: Desktop

Linux

• OS/Distros: CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu
• Docker: Server

Windows

• OS: Windows 10 or 11 (Home, Pro, Enterprise, or Education)
• Docker: Desktop

Supported Testing Platforms

Sauce Labs supports the following test configurations for Playwright:

Browser support for each framework is based on the Sauce Labs docker images provided in the saucectl installation. Each Docker image tag is the latest image that supports the specific framework version, as detailed in the available release notes.

How to Get Started

• Quickstart: Use our demo repo to quickly set up and run a sample Playwright project and test to see the results.
• Run your own tests: Customize saucectl to run your existing tests just by modifying the config.yml file for your project.
• Incorporate saucectl in your pipeline: Playwright on Sauce supports CI integrations with Circle CI, GitLab, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions.

note

Based on current playwright test runner implementation, there is no way to run Playwright test runner with Cucumber.
