Limitations for Playwright
Special Characters in Test Names
We recommend that you avoid the use of special characters when naming your tests. If your test name contains any special characters, your test may not run or its artifacts may not be visible in our platform.
Playwright 1.31.1 + Webkit + Sauce-Connect
When using Sauce-Connect, Webkit browser is unable to load any website that is hosted on the Internet. Local websites can still be loaded.
macOS 12 + Playwright 1.44+ + Webkit
Webkit is not working on macOS 12 since Playwright 1.44.0.
macOS 11 + Playwright 1.29+ + Webkit
Webkit is not working on macOS 11 since Playwright 1.29.0.
Playwright HTML Reporter + Trace Viewer
Because of a limitation in how assets are stored on our platform, configuring your tests to use the built-in HTML reporter and Playwright's Trace Viewer feature will not work as expected.
Chrome launchOptions
If you use project specific launchOptions along with setting Chrome as the browser, you'll encounter the following error:
browserType.launch: Chromium distribution 'chrome' is not found at C:\Users\sauce\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
This is because playwright's project specific settings override the global configuration that Sauce Labs provides during runtime. In this case, the location of the browser binary. Make sure that launchOptions are not set when running on a Sauce VM.
Webkit + Windows
There is a known issue in Playwright that prevents some sites from loading in Webkit on Windows with the error SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK. We recommend running your Playwright + Webkit tests on our Mac VMs by setting the platformName to either macOS 13 or macOS 12.
Tests running through Sauce Tunnels are unaffected.
