I’m currently working on a project where I need to use Playwright for end-to-end testing, and I’m using Vite as my frontend build tool. I want to pass environment variables from Vite to Playwright, but I’m not sure how to achieve this integration seamlessly. Specifically, I need to pass variables such as API URLs, authentication tokens, and other configuration settings to my Playwright tests.

I’ve looked into Playwright’s documentation, and it seems like there isn’t a straightforward way to directly access Vite’s environment variables within my test scripts. Is there a recommended approach or workaround for achieving this?

Question:

• How can I leverage Vite’s built-in mechanism to pass environment
  variables to my Playwright tests?
• Are there any best practices or
  recommended patterns for handling environment variables between Vite
  and Playwright?
• Are there any plugins or community-developed
  solutions that facilitate this integration?

I appreciate any insights or guidance on this matter. Thank you!
