Integrate SauceLabs using CodeceptJS and Playwright Helper

[jpaxtonrs]

I am trying to integrate my CodeceptJS tests using the Playwright Helper with SauceLabs so I can have my tests run on various devices in the Cloud.

I see documentation on how to do it using the Appium and WebDriver Helpers, but, nothing about Playwright Helper.

I tried using the Node.js wrapper for saucectl and it only supports the native Playwright framework, not the Helper under the hood for CodeceptJS.

Am I missing some documentation that can lead me into the right direction allowing me to run my tests in SauceLabs? If this is not achievable at the moment, are there plans in the future to complete this integration like you all have for Appium?

Thanks!

As I read here, your Playwright tests are running against browsers yet the devices by saucelabs. Or something I understand wrongly 🤔

[jpaxtonrs]

Technically, they are not Playwright tests. They are CodeceptJS tests that use the Playwright Helper - https://codecept.io/playwright/

When I use the Playwright solution with saucectl , I receive failures as the solution is based on the native Playwrtight framework (not CodeceptJS with Playwright).

The idea is to have my CodeceptJS tests run in Saucelabs against various real device and browser combinations in the Cloud.

Yeah @jpaxtonrs understood your use case. Seems like the integration should be implemented cause currently this wouldn't work out of the box for Playwright helper of Codeceptjs.

[jpaxtonrs]

Agreed.

With that said, could I request for the Implementation of SauceLabs integration with CodeceptJS + Playwright Helper (like Codecept has for Appium) ?

[kobenguyent]

Checked with SL. Need to wait for them then.

Awesome, thanks so much! Please, keep me updated on the status of this.
