Report

Smart Test Reporting

Generate test reports that plug into the user's existing workflow. Zero new tools.

Steps

1. Run Tests (If Not Already Run)

Check if recent test results exist:

ls -la test-results/ playwright-report/ 2>/dev/null

If no recent results, run tests:

npx playwright test --reporter=json,html,list 2>&1 | tee test-output.log

2. Parse Results

Read the JSON report:

npx playwright test --reporter=json 2> /dev/null

Extract:

• Total tests, passed, failed, skipped, flaky
• Duration per test and total
• Failed test names with error messages
• Flaky tests (passed on retry)

3. Detect Report Destination

Check what's configured and route automatically:

4. Generate Report

Markdown Report (Always Generated)

# Test Results — {{date}}

## Summary
- ✅ Passed: {{passed}}
- ❌ Failed: {{failed}}
- ⏭️ Skipped: {{skipped}}
- 🔄 Flaky: {{flaky}}
- ⏱️ Duration: {{duration}}

## Failed Tests
| Test | Error | File |
|---|---|---|
| {{name}} | {{error}} | {{file}}:{{line}} |

## Flaky Tests
| Test | Retries | File |
|---|---|---|
| {{name}} | {{retries}} | {{file}} |

## By Project
| Browser | Passed | Failed | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromium | X | Y | Zs |
| Firefox | X | Y | Zs |
| WebKit | X | Y | Zs |

Save to test-reports/{{date}}-report.md.

Slack Summary (If Webhook Configured)

curl -X POST "$SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "text": "🧪 Test Results: ✅ {{passed}} | ❌ {{failed}} | ⏱️ {{duration}}\n{{failed_details}}"
  }'

TestRail Push (If Configured)

Invoke /pw:testrail push with the JSON results.

HTML Report

npx playwright show-report

Or if in CI:

echo "HTML report available at: playwright-report/index.html"

5. Trend Analysis (If Historical Data Exists)

If previous reports exist in test-reports/:

• Compare pass rate over time
• Identify tests that became flaky recently
• Highlight new failures vs. recurring failures

Output

• Summary with pass/fail/skip/flaky counts
• Failed test details with error messages
• Report destination confirmation
• Trend comparison (if historical data available)
• Next action recommendation (fix failures or celebrate green)

When to Use

Generate test report. Use when user says "test report", "results summary", "test status", "show results", "test dashboard", or "how did tests go".
