Introducing Microsoft Playwright Testing service private preview

Are there any plans to roll this out to UK South? Currently I can really use the trial because my organisation has restrictions on regions. 

How to configure Playwright service for .NET?

There are two ways: 

if you are using Playwright Nunit you just need to specify to env variables:

PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN={MY-ACCESS-TOKEN}
PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL={MY-REGION-ENDPOINT}

to configure number of workers you can use runsettings file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RunSettings>
	<!-- NUnit adapter -->
	<NUnit>
		<NumberOfTestWorkers>50</NumberOfTestWorkers>
	</NUnit>
	<!-- General run configuration -->
	<RunConfiguration>
		<EnvironmentVariables>
			<!-- For debugging selectors, it's recommend to set the following environment variable -->
			<!-- <DEBUG>pw:api</DEBUG> -->
		</EnvironmentVariables>
		<MaxCpuCount>0</MaxCpuCount>
	</RunConfiguration>
</RunSettings>

if you are using Playwright Library you need to add the following code on browser initialization:

private Tuple<string, BrowserTypeConnectOptions> PlaywrightServiceConfiguration()
        {
            var accessKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_KEY");
            var serviceUrl = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL");
            if (!accessKey.IsNullOrEmpty() && !serviceUrl.IsNullOrEmpty())
            {
                var exposeNetwork = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_EXPOSE_NETWORK") ?? "<loopback>";
                var caps = new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    ["os"] = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_OS") ?? "linux",
                    ["runId"] = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("RELEASE_RELEASENAME") ?? DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime().ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
                };
                var wsEndpoint = $"{serviceUrl}?cap={JsonSerializer.Serialize(caps)}";
                var connectOptions = new BrowserTypeConnectOptions
                {
                    Timeout = 3 * 60 * 1000,
                    ExposeNetwork = exposeNetwork,
                    Headers = new Dictionary<string, string>
                    {
                        ["x-mpt-access-key"] = accessKey
                    }
                };
                return new Tuple<string, BrowserTypeConnectOptions>(wsEndpoint, connectOptions);
            }
            else
            {
                return new Tuple<string, BrowserTypeConnectOptions>(null, null);
            }
        }

and use it in 

            // service configuration
            Tuple<string, BrowserTypeConnectOptions> serviceConfig = PlaywrightServiceConfiguration();
            var browserTypeLaunchOptions = new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions()
            {
                Headless = StartConfiguration.Headless,
                Channel = StartConfiguration.Browser,
                //Args = new[] { "--start-maximized" }
                //SlowMo = 200
            };

if (serviceConfig.Item1.IsNullOrEmpty() || serviceConfig.Item2 is null)
                Browser = await BrowserType.LaunchAsync(browserTypeLaunchOptions).ConfigureAwait(false);
            else
                Browser = await BrowserType.ConnectAsync(serviceConfig.Item1, serviceConfig.Item2).ConfigureAwait(false);

HI dinesh2703 I would like to understand more around "private browser", can you open an issue in our Github repo and we can look into it.

Does it work with browser in private mode?
I tried in persistent mode, its working. but in private mode its not working. its giving time out error while loading test url. The url is http and not https.

Hi folks, We have added sample code for .NET integration with the service. Please check it out and let us know your feedback. Here's the link to the sample: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-testing-service/tree/main/samples/.NET

Hi folks, Thanks for reaching out to us. 

We have .NET support on our roadmap and will share an update soon. Currently the service supports running Playwright tests written in js/ts and using Playwright test runner. 

We are tracking the feature requests on our GitHub repo: Issues · microsoft/playwright-testing-service (github.com)

Please file an issue if you want us to build something or upvote an existing issue. This will help us prioritize our roadmap and get more feedback from the community. 

Thanks 

What about java based framework / tests ?

Hopefully we get a .NET version soon... Would make my Azure workflow much less painful...

Does this service only work with typescript ? what about .net tests thanks
