:::note :::note
Using `globalSetup` and `globalTeardown` will not produce traces or artifacts, and options like `headless` or `testIdAttribute` specified in the config file are not applied. If you want to produce traces and artifacts and respect config options, use [project dependencies](#option-1-project-dependencies). Beware of `globalSetup` and `globalTeardown` caveats:
- These methods will not produce traces or artifacts unless explictly enabled, as described in [Capturing trace of failures during global setup](#capturing-trace-of-failures-during-global-setup).
- Options sush as `headless` or `testIdAttribute` specified in the config file are not applied,
- An uncaught exception thrown in `globalSetup` will prevent Playwright from running tests, and no test results will appear in reporters.
Consider using [project dependencies](#option-1-project-dependencies) to produce traces, artifacts, respect config options and get test results in reporters even in case of a setup failure.
