Testrail

TestRail Integration

Bidirectional sync between Playwright tests and TestRail test management.

Prerequisites

Environment variables must be set:

• TESTRAIL_URL — e.g., https://your-instance.testrail.io
• TESTRAIL_USER — your email
• TESTRAIL_API_KEY — API key from TestRail

If not set, inform the user how to configure them and stop.

Capabilities

1. Import Test Cases → Generate Playwright Tests

/pw:testrail import --project <id> --suite <id>

Steps:

1. Call testrail_get_cases MCP tool to fetch test cases
2. For each test case:
   • Read title, preconditions, steps, expected results
   • Map to a Playwright test using appropriate template
   • Include TestRail case ID as test annotation: test.info().annotations.push({ type: 'testrail', description: 'C12345' })
3. Generate test files grouped by section
4. Report: X cases imported, Y tests generated

2. Push Test Results → TestRail

/pw:testrail push --run <id>

Steps:

1. Run Playwright tests with JSON reporter:

   npx playwright test --reporter=json > test-results.json
   

2. Parse results: map each test to its TestRail case ID (from annotations)
3. Call testrail_add_result MCP tool for each test:
   • Pass → status_id: 1
   • Fail → status_id: 5, include error message
   • Skip → status_id: 2
4. Report: X results pushed, Y passed, Z failed

3. Create Test Run

/pw:testrail run --project <id> --name "Sprint 42 Regression"

Steps:

1. Call testrail_add_run MCP tool
2. Include all test case IDs found in Playwright test annotations
3. Return run ID for result pushing

4. Sync Status

/pw:testrail status --project <id>

Steps:

1. Fetch test cases from TestRail
2. Scan local Playwright tests for TestRail annotations
3. Report coverage:

   TestRail cases: 150
   Playwright tests with TestRail IDs: 120
   Unlinked TestRail cases: 30
   Playwright tests without TestRail IDs: 15
   

5. Update Test Cases in TestRail

/pw:testrail update --case <id>

Steps:

1. Read the Playwright test for this case ID
2. Extract steps and expected results from test code
3. Call testrail_update_case MCP tool to update steps

MCP Tools Used

Test Annotation Format

All Playwright tests linked to TestRail include:

test("should login successfully", async ({ page }) => {
  test.info().annotations.push({
    type: "testrail",
    description: "C12345",
  });
  // ... test code
});

This annotation is the bridge between Playwright and TestRail.

Output

• Operation summary with counts
• Any errors or unmatched cases
• Link to TestRail run/results
