If you run tests on multiple shards, you can now merge all reports in a single HTML report (or any other report)
using the new merge-reports CLI tool.
Using merge-reports tool requires the following steps:
Adding a new "blob" reporter to the config when running on CI:
export default defineConfig({
testDir: './tests',
reporter: process.env.CI ? 'blob' : 'html',
});
The "blob" reporter will produce ".zip" files that contain all the information about the test run.
Copying all "blob" reports in a single shared location and running npx playwright merge-reports:
npx playwright merge-reports --reporter html ./all-blob-reports
