Debugging Tests
Since Playwright runs in Node.js, you can debug it with your debugger of choice e.g. using console.log
or inside your IDE or directly in VS Code with the VS Code Extension. Playwright comes with the Playwright Inspector which allows you to step through Playwright API calls, see their debug logs and explore locators.
-
Debugging all tests:
npx playwright test --debug
-
Debugging one test file:
npx playwright test example.spec.ts --debug
-
Debugging a test from the line number where the
test(..
is defined:npx playwright test example.spec.ts:10 --debug

Check out our debugging guide to learn more about the Playwright Inspector as well as debugging with Browser Developer tools.
Test Reports
The HTML Reporter shows you a full report of your tests allowing you to filter the report by browsers, passed tests, failed tests, skipped tests and flaky tests. By default, the HTML report is opened automatically if some of the tests failed.
npx playwright show-report

You can click on each test and explore the tests errors as well as each step of the test.
