Azure Playwright Workspaces SDK for TypeScript

Run Playwright tests at scale with cloud-hosted browsers and integrated Azure portal reporting.

Migration Notice: @azure/microsoft-playwright-testing is retired on March 8, 2026. Use @azure/playwright instead. See migration guide.

Installation

# Recommended: Auto-generates config
npm init @azure/playwright@latest

# Manual installation
npm install @azure/playwright --save-dev
npm install @playwright/test@^1.47 --save-dev
npm install @azure/identity --save-dev

Requirements:

Playwright version 1.47+ (basic usage)
Playwright version 1.57+ (Azure reporter features)

Environment Variables

PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL=wss://eastus.api.playwright.microsoft.com/playwrightworkspaces/{workspace-id}/browsers
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production

Authentication

Microsoft Entra Token Credential (Recommended)

# Sign in with Azure CLI
az login

// playwright.service.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";

// Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential({requiredEnvVars: ["AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS"]});
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/javascript/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-node-latest#credential-classes
// const credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
    os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
    credential,
  })
);

Custom Credential

import { ManagedIdentityCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig } from "@azure/playwright";

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
    credential: new ManagedIdentityCredential(),
  })
);

Core Workflow

Service Configuration

// playwright.service.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
    os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
    connectTimeout: 30000,
    exposeNetwork: "<loopback>",
    credential: new DefaultAzureCredential({requiredEnvVars: ["AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS"]}),
  })
);

Run Tests

npx playwright test --config=playwright.service.config.ts --workers=20

With Azure Reporter

import { defineConfig } from "@playwright/test";
import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";
import config from "./playwright.config";

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
    os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
    credential: new DefaultAzureCredential({requiredEnvVars: ["AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS"]}),
  }),
  {
    reporter: [
      ["html", { open: "never" }],
      ["@azure/playwright/reporter"],
    ],
  }
);

Manual Browser Connection

import playwright, { test, expect, BrowserType } from "@playwright/test";
import { getConnectOptions } from "@azure/playwright";

test("manual connection", async ({ browserName }) => {
  const { wsEndpoint, options } = await getConnectOptions();
  const browser = await (playwright[browserName] as BrowserType).connect(wsEndpoint, options);
  const context = await browser.newContext();
  const page = await context.newPage();

  await page.goto("https://example.com");
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(/Example/);

  await browser.close();
});

Configuration Options

type PlaywrightServiceAdditionalOptions = {
  serviceAuthType?: "ENTRA_ID" | "ACCESS_TOKEN";  // Default: ENTRA_ID
  os?: "linux" | "windows";                        // Default: linux
  runName?: string;                                // Custom run name for portal
  connectTimeout?: number;                         // Default: 30000ms
  exposeNetwork?: string;                          // Default: <loopback>
  credential?: TokenCredential;                    // REQUIRED for Entra ID
};

ServiceOS Enum

import { ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";

// Available values
ServiceOS.LINUX   // "linux" - default
ServiceOS.WINDOWS // "windows"

ServiceAuth Enum

import { ServiceAuth } from "@azure/playwright";

// Available values
ServiceAuth.ENTRA_ID      // Recommended - uses credential
ServiceAuth.ACCESS_TOKEN  // Use PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN env var

Migration from Old Package

Old (`@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing`)	New (`@azure/playwright`)
`getServiceConfig()`	`createAzurePlaywrightConfig()`
`timeout` option	`connectTimeout` option
`runId` option	`runName` option
`useCloudHostedBrowsers` option	Removed (always enabled)
`@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing/reporter`	`@azure/playwright/reporter`
Implicit credential	Explicit `credential` parameter

Before (Old)

import { getServiceConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing";

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  getServiceConfig(config, {
    os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
    timeout: 30000,
    useCloudHostedBrowsers: true,
  }),
  {
    reporter: [["@azure/microsoft-playwright-testing/reporter"]],
  }
);

After (New)

import { createAzurePlaywrightConfig, ServiceOS } from "@azure/playwright";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";

export default defineConfig(
  config,
  createAzurePlaywrightConfig(config, {
    os: ServiceOS.LINUX,
    connectTimeout: 30000,
    credential: new DefaultAzureCredential({requiredEnvVars: ["AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS"]}),
  }),
  {
    reporter: [
      ["html", { open: "never" }],
      ["@azure/playwright/reporter"],
    ],
  }
);

Best Practices

Use Microsoft Entra Token Credential — More secure than access tokens
Use DefaultAzureCredential for local development; use ManagedIdentityCredential or WorkloadIdentityCredential for production
Enable artifacts — Set trace: "on-first-retry", video: "retain-on-failure" in config
Scale workers — Use --workers=20 or higher for parallel execution
Region selection — Choose region closest to your test targets
HTML reporter first — When using Azure reporter, list HTML reporter before Azure reporter
