/pw:browserstack setup
Steps:
- Check current
playwright.config.ts - Add BrowserStack connect options:
// Add to playwright.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
const isBS = !!process.env.BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME;
export default defineConfig({
// ... existing config
projects: isBS ? [
{
name: "chromelatestwindows-11",
use: {
connectOptions: {
wsEndpoint: `wss://cdp.browserstack.com/playwright?caps=${encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify({
'browser': 'chrome',
'browser_version': 'latest',
'os': 'Windows',
'os_version': '11',
'browserstack.username': process.env.BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME,
'browserstack.accessKey': process.env.BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY,
}))}`,
},
},
},
{
name: "firefoxlatestwindows-11",
use: {

] : [
// ... local projects fallback
],
});
- Add npm script:
"test:e2e:cloud": "npx playwright test --project='chrome@*' --project='firefox@*' --project='webkit@*'"
2. Run Tests on BrowserStack
/pw:browserstack run
Steps:
- Verify credentials are set
- Run tests with BrowserStack projects:
BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME=$BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME \ BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY=$BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY \ npx playwright test --project='chrome@*' --project='firefox@*' - Monitor execution
- Report results per browser
3. Get Build Results
/pw:browserstack results
Steps:
- Call
browserstack_get_buildsMCP tool - Get latest build's sessions
- For each session:
- Status (pass/fail)
- Browser and OS
- Duration
- Video URL
- Log URLs
- Format as summary table
4. Check Available Browsers
/pw:browserstack browsers
