Installation

$3

- Node.js
- npm or yarn
- LambdaTest account and credentials

$3

``bash
npm install @lambdatest/playwright-node-sdk
`

Quick Start

$3

You can automatically create a lambdatest.yml file with a default template:

`bash


Create default lambdatest.yml

npx playwright-node-sdk init

Create with custom filename

npx playwright-node-sdk init my-config.yml
`

This will create a configuration file with default configurations for Windows, macOS, and Android platforms.

$3

Create a lambdatest.yml file in your project root (or edit the one created by init):

`yaml
user: "your-lambdatest-username"
accessKey: "your-lambdatest-access-key"
build: "Playwright Test Build"
name: "Playwright Test"
video: true
console: true
network: true
commandLog: true
`

$3

Add platform configurations to your lambdatest.yml:

`yaml
user: "your-lambdatest-username"
accessKey: "your-lambdatest-access-key"
build: "Playwright Test Build"
name: "Playwright Test"
video: true
console: true
network: true
commandLog: true

platforms:
- platform: "windows 10"
browserName: "chrome"
browserVersion: "latest"
- platform: "macos sonoma"
browserName: "chrome"
browserVersion: "latest"

`

$3

`bash
npx playwright-node-sdk playwright test
`

$3

You can use different configuration files for different environments or test scenarios by setting the LAMBDATEST_YML_FILE environment variable:

`bash


Use a specific configuration file

export LAMBDATEST_YML_FILE="custom-config.yml"
npx playwright-node-sdk playwright test

`

This allows you to maintain separate configurations for different environments or different test scenarios.

Configuration

$3

The SDK uses a lambdatest.yml file for configuration. Here's a complete example:

`yaml

Usage

$3

The SDK provides a command-line interface for running tests:

`bash


Initialize configuration file

npx playwright-node-sdk init

Initialize with custom filename

npx playwright-node-sdk init my-config.yml
