问题

Developers need a centralized way to capture test failures, retry history, and detailed diagnostics to investigate issues and provide clear evidence to coding assistants.

结果

Playwright Logbook centralizes failure diagnostics and provides a reproducible debug packet, enabling efficient triage and collaboration with coding assistants.

工作流

• Install Playwright Logbook with npm install --save-dev playwright-logbook
• Add the reporter to playwright.config.ts enabling captureDetails: true and optional trace: 'on-first-retry'
• Run tests using npx playwright test
• Open the generated .logbook/report/index.html locally to view failure diagnostics, retry history, and test details
• Locate the test ID in .logbook/runs/<run-id>.json and generate a debug packet with npx playwright-logbook debug --run latest --test <TEST_ID> --format json
• Copy the debug context or share the JSON packet with the coding assistant for focused investigation

证据

Playwright Logbook is an open-source reporter that keeps failure diagnostics, retries, run-to-run changes and history in one local HTML report.
