Question: How can I avoid creating a test run when running the tests in debug mode?

[serhatgemici]

Hi @niche-tester , thank you for the awesome reporter,

I have a question;

Is there a way that I can avoid creation of test runs when I'm just debugging my tests? as in

playwright test --debug

TIA

@serhatgemici You could add a condition on your playwright config as such and then add the environment variable called USE_TESTRAIL to false

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
 reporter: (process.env.USE_TESTRAIL === "true") ? [
    ["playwright-testrail-reporter"]
   ]
  // ...
};

I'm sure there is a better way to implement it and I could add this to the package at a later stage but for now this is a workaround

@denisha thank you very much. Just as a reference if anyone else is seeking for a solution, here's how I managed to do it with multiple reporters, using your suggestion:

// List of reporters
const reporters = [
  ['playwright-testrail-reporter'], // Initially include the TestRail reporter
  ["allure-playwright", 
    {
      detail: false,
      outputFolder: "pw-allure-report",
      suiteTitle: true,
      environmentInfo: {
        os_platform: os.platform(),
        os_release: os.release(),
        os_version: os.version(),
        node_version: process.version,
      },
    },
  ],
];

// Conditionally remove the Playwright TestRail reporter if USE_TESTRAIL is "false"
if (process.env.USE_TESTRAIL === "false") {
  // Find the index of the TestRail reporter in the reporters array
  const testRailReporterIndex = reporters.findIndex(reporter => reporter[0] === 'playwright-testrail-reporter');
  // If found, remove it from the array
  if (testRailReporterIndex !== -1) {
    reporters.splice(testRailReporterIndex, 1);
  }
}

export default defineConfig({
  testDir,
  reporter: reporters,
...

USE_TESTRAIL=false npx playwright test --debug
