# Azure Playwright Workspaces SDK for TypeScript
Run Playwright tests at scale with cloud-hosted browsers and integrated Azure portal reporting.
> **Migration Notice:** `@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing` is retired on **March 8, 2026**. Use `@azure/playwright` instead. See [migration guide](https://aka.ms/mpt/migration-guidance).
## Installation
```bash
# Recommended: Auto-generates config
npm init @azure/playwright@latest
# Manual installation
npm install @azure/playwright --save-dev
npm install @playwright/test@^1.47 --save-dev
npm install @azure/identity --save-dev
```
**Requirements:**
- Playwright version 1.47+ (basic usage)
- Playwright version 1.57+ (Azure reporter features)
## Environment Variables
```bash
PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL=wss://eastus.api.playwright.microsoft.com/playwrightworkspaces/{workspace-id}/browsers
```
## Authentication
### Microsoft Entra ID (Recommended)
```bash
# Sign in with Azure CLI
az login
```
```typescript
// playwright.service.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";
export default defineConfig(
config,
createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
credential: new DefaultAzureCredential(),
})
);
```
### Custom Credential
```typescript
import { ManagedIdentityCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig } from "@azure/playwright";
export default defineConfig(
config,
createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
credential: new ManagedIdentityCredential(),
})
);
```
## Core Workflow
### Service Configuration
```typescript
// playwright.service.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";
export default defineConfig(
config,
createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
connectTimeout: 30000,
exposeNetwork: "<loopback>",
credential: new DefaultAzureCredential(),
})
);
```
### Run Tests
```bash
npx playwright test --config=playwright.service.config.ts --workers=20
```
### With Azure Reporter
```typescript
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";
export default defineConfig(
config,
createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
credential: new DefaultAzureCredential(),
}),
{
reporter: [
["html", { open: "never" }],
["@azure/playwright/reporter"],
],
}
);
```
### Manual Browser Connection
```typescript
import playwright, { test, expect, BrowserType } from "@playwright/test";
import { getConnectOptions } from "@azure/playwright";
test("manual connection", async ({ browserName }) => {
const { wsEndpoint, options } = await getConnectOptions();
const browser = await (playwright[browserName] as BrowserType).connect(wsEndpoint, options);
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto("https://example.com");
await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Example/);
await browser.close();
});
```
## Configuration Options
```typescript
type PlaywrightServiceAdditionalOptions = {
serviceAuthType?: "ENTRA_ID" | "ACCESS_TOKEN"; // Default: ENTRA_ID
os?: "linux" | "windows"; // Default: linux
runName?: string; // Custom run name for portal
connectTimeout?: number; // Default: 30000ms
exposeNetwork?: string; // Default: <loopback>
credential?: TokenCredential; // REQUIRED for Entra ID
};
```
### ServiceOS Enum
```typescript
import { ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
// Available values
ServiceOS.LINUX // "linux" - default
ServiceOS.WINDOWS // "windows"
```
### ServiceAuth Enum
```typescript
import { ServiceAuth } from "@azure/playwright";
// Available values
ServiceAuth.ENTRA_ID // Recommended - uses credential
ServiceAuth.ACCESS_TOKEN // Use PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN env var
```
## CI/CD Integration
### GitHub Actions
```yaml
name: playwright-ts
on: [push, pull_request]
permissions:
id-token: write
contents: read
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Azure Login
uses: azure/login@v2
with:
client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
tenant-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
subscription-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}
- run: npm ci
- name: Run Tests
env:
PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL: ${{ secrets.PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL }}
run: npx playwright test -c playwright.service.config.ts --workers=20
```
### Azure Pipelines
```yaml
- task: AzureCLI@2
displayName: Run Playwright Tests
env:
PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL: $(PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL)
inputs:
azureSubscription: My_Service_Connection
scriptType: pscore
inlineScript: |
npx playwright test -c playwright.service.config.ts --workers=20
addSpnToEnvironment: true
```
## Key Types
```typescript
import {
createAzurePlaywrightConfig,
getConnectOptions,
ServiceOS,
ServiceAuth,
ServiceEnvironmentVariable,
} from "@azure/playwright";
import type {
OsType,
AuthenticationType,
BrowserConnectOptions,
PlaywrightServiceAdditionalOptions,
} from "@azure/playwright";
```
## Migration from Old Package
| Old (`@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing`) | New (`@azure/playwright`) |
|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------|
| `getServiceConfig()` | `createAzurePlaywrightConfig()` |
| `timeout` option | `connectTimeout` option |
| `runId` option | `runName` option |
| `useCloudHostedBrowsers` option | Removed (always enabled) |
| `@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing/reporter` | `@azure/playwright/reporter` |
| Implicit credential | Explicit `credential` parameter |
### Before (Old)
```typescript
import { getServiceConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing";
export default defineConfig(
config,
getServiceConfig(config, {
os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
timeout: 30000,
useCloudHostedBrowsers: true,
}),
{
reporter: [["@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing/reporter"]],
}
);
```
### After (New)
```typescript
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
export default defineConfig(
config,
createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
connectTimeout: 30000,
credential: new DefaultAzureCredential(),
}),
{
reporter: [
["html", { open: "never" }],
["@azure/playwright/reporter"],
],
}
);
```
## Best Practices
1. **Use Entra ID auth** — More secure than access tokens
2. **Provide explicit credential** — Always pass `credential: new DefaultAzureCredential()`
3. **Enable artifacts** — Set `trace: "on-first-retry"`, `video: "retain-on-failure"` in config
4. **Scale workers** — Use `--workers=20` or higher for parallel execution
5. **Region selection** — Choose region closest to your test targets
6. **HTML reporter first** — When using Azure reporter, list HTML reporter before Azure reporter
