I’m setting up a playwright project and trying to store Basic auth for reusability in my tests using dependencies.
The setup always passes, yet the example spec fails with the error page.goto: net::ERR_INVALID_AUTH_CREDENTIALS at https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth
My config file:
// @ts-check
const {defineConfig, devices} = require('@playwright/test');
/**
* Read environment variables from file.
* https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv
*/
// require('dotenv').config();
/**
* @see https://playwright.dev/docs/test-configuration
*/
module.exports = defineConfig({
testDir: './tests',
/* Run tests in files in parallel */
fullyParallel: true,
/* Fail the build on CI if you accidentally left test.only in the source code. */
forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
/* Retry on CI only */
retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
/* Opt out of parallel tests on CI. */
workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined,
/* Reporter to use. See https://playwright.dev/docs/test-reporters */
reporter: 'html',
/* Shared settings for all the projects below. See https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testoptions. */
use: {
/* Base URL to use in actions like `await page.goto('/')`. */
baseURL: 'https://the-internet.herokuapp.com/basic_auth',
/* Collect trace when retrying the failed test. See https://playwright.dev/docs/trace-viewer */
trace: 'on-first-retry',
},
/* Configure projects for major browsers */
projects: [
{
name: 'setup',
testDir: './',
testMatch: 'globalSetup.js'
},
{
name: 'testrun',
dependencies: ['setup'],
use: { storageState: './LoginAuth.json' }
},
],
}
globalSetup:
test('setup', async ({ page }) => {
const authHeaders = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from('admin:admin').toString('base64');
await page.setExtraHTTPHeaders({ Authorization : authHeaders })
await page.goto('');
await expect(page.getByText('Congratulations!')).toBeVisible();
await page.context().storageState({ path: './LoginAuth.json' })
})
my spec:
test('new fckn test', async ({page}) => {
await page.goto('');
await expect(page.getByText('Congratulations!')).toBeVisible();
})
I tried the old way as well already (function globalSetup()) and a few different variations, yet nothing works. What am I doing wrong?
