Packaging Playwright projects for Test Manager

Package a Playwright test project into a UiPath automation package and publish it to Orchestrator so Test Manager can execute it.

Observação:

This capability is in controlled availability, delivered only to eligible tenants. It is available in Test Manager only when delivered through Test Cloud.

Package a Playwright test project into a UiPath automation package (.nupkg) and publish it to Orchestrator, so the automation becomes available for execution from Test Manager.

Pré-requisitos

• A self-contained Playwright test project directory: its own playwright.config.*, package.json, and a supported lockfile, with dependencies resolvable at the packed root. A mono-repo subfolder works only if it's self-contained.
• Playwright version 1.19 or later. npm is the only supported package manager — the packed root must contain a package-lock.json.
• The UiPath Command Line Interface (CLI) installed and updated to a recent version. See Installing UiPath CLI.
• A Test Manager project key. Required by default — the CLI refuses to pack without one unless you pass --no-create-test-cases. Matching test cases are auto-created and auto-linked once Test Manager ingests the resulting package, not at packaging time. The key must be uppercase alphanumeric.

AVISO:

Packaging excludes node_modules, .git, .uipath, dist, test-results, playwright-report, and .cache. It also always excludes secret files at any depth: .env, .env.*, .npmrc, and .git-credentials. Everything else in the project directory ships as-is, so keep secrets out of other files — hard-coded credentials in config or fixture files still ship.

Etapas

1. Open a terminal in the Playwright project's root directory.

2. Run uip tm pack with the --type playwright option, for example:

   uip tm pack --project-path . --type playwright --project-key SWAG --name SwagLabsDemo --package-version 1.0.0 -o .packages --output json
   

   For the full flag reference, including how to opt out of test-case auto-creation, see uip tm pack.

3. Publish the resulting .nupkg to the tenant's Orchestrator Package Feed, using one of the following:

   • Upload it manually in Orchestrator (Packages > Upload).
   • Drop it into a folder Orchestrator watches for packages.
   • Use the UiPath CLI to upload it directly from the command line.

Resultado

The package appears in Orchestrator's Package Feed. If a project key was supplied, matching test cases are auto-created in that Test Manager project, with the Playwright automation already linked. Otherwise, the package's automations become available for selection through Selecting automation.
