Playwright Python: 'retain-on-failure'


For Node.js it's mentioned option 'retain-on-failure' (https://playwright.dev/docs/videos) to preserve only videos for failed tests. Nothing similar for the Python. How can it be solved (delete videos for passed tests)? Thanks

import pytest
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

@pytest.fixture(scope="module")
def browser(headless):
    with sync_playwright() as p:
        browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=headless)
        yield browser
        browser.close()

@pytest.fixture
def context(browser):
    context = browser.new_context(
        record_video_dir="reports/",
        record_video_size={"width": 1024, "height": 768},
    )
    yield context
    context.close()

@pytest.fixture
def page(context):
    page = context.new_page()
    yield page
    page.close()

Solution

  • Solved with a hook

    # tests\conftest.py
    @pytest.hookimpl(tryfirst=True, hookwrapper=True)
    def pytest_runtest_makereport(item, call):
        # Execute all other hooks to obtain the report object
        outcome = yield
        rep = outcome.get_result()
        setattr(item, "rep_call", rep)
    
    # fixtures\fixture_base.py
    @pytest.fixture
    def page(context, request):
        page = context.new_page()
        yield page
        video_path = page.video.path()
        page.close()
        if request.node.rep_call.outcome == "passed":
            time.sleep(1) # to prevent failure on a locked state for the file
            os.remove(video_path)
