How to run the same e2e tests on different enviroments in playwright

I have a set of e2e tests. We have a test enviroment: test.mypage.com And we also have a UAT enviroment: uat.mypage.com I want to be able to run the same e2e tests on either our test or uat enviroment, depending on the command line i use.

my config file:

import { LaunchOptions } from 'playwright';

const browserOptions: LaunchOptions = {
    headless: false,
    slowMo: 0,
    args: []
};

export const config = {
    browserOptions,
    env: {
        server: 'test'
    }
};

my step file:

Given(/^i go to login page$/, async function () {
    await PW.page.goto(`https://${config.env.server}.mypage.com/`);
});

the command line I use to run my tests:

npx cucumber-js

So I assume the solution would be something like

npx cucumber-js --server "uat"

but either my syntax is wrong or I'm missing something. When I run the script above, I get an error: unknown option: '--server'.

I tried

npx cucumber-js `$env:server="uat"

which didn't throw any errors but the environment remained test.mypage.com.

So how can I change the environment from the command line?

You can use the baseurl test option for this.

In your config file, add the baseurl:

import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  use: {
    baseURL: `https://${config.env.server}.mypage.com/`,
  },
};
export default config;

So now your test should look like this:

Given(/^i go to login page$/, async function () {
    await PW.page.goto('/');
});

Now from CLI, you can run with a different baseurl like this:

URL=https://playwright.dev npx playwright test
