This repository can be used as a template to get started with Playwright to test Microsoft 365 solutions.

More information can be found in the blog post End-to-End Test Microsoft 365 Solutions with Playwright.

• Clone this repository or use it as a template
• Run npm install to install the dependencies
• Run npx playwright install to install the browsers

To get started, you need to configure the following environment variables:

M365_PAGE_URL=
M365_USERNAME=
M365_PASSWORD=

# When using the MFA login flow
M365_OTP_SECRET=

If your account needs to use MFA to login, you will have to do the following:

• Go to the Security info page of the account you want to use
• Click on the Add sign-in method button
• Select Authenticator app and click on Add
• Click on the I want to use a different authenticator app link
• Click on the Next button
• Click on the Can't scan image? link
• Copy the Secret key and paste it in the M365_OTP_SECRET environment variable
• Use your authenticator app to scan the QR code
• Click on the Next button
• Enter the code from your authenticator app and click on the Next button

If you do not want to use an authenticator app for creating the OTP, you can use the following command to generate the OTP:

npm run generate:otp -- <secret key>

In the tests folder, you can find a sample test that navigates to SharePoint and verifies the Site Title. You can start from there or create your own tests.

Important: the login.setup.ts or mfa.setup.ts file contains the code to login to Microsoft 365. It is configured to run before all tests in the playwright.config.ts file.

To run the tests, execute the following command:

npm test

There are two optional scripts available:

• npm run test:ui to run the tests in UI mode
• npm run test:debug to run the tests in debug mode

The project contains a GitHub Actions workflow that runs the tests in a GitHub-hosted runner. The workflow is configured to run on a schedule, or you can manually trigger it.

You can find the workflow in the .github/workflows folder.

To use the workflow, you need to configure the following secrets and variables in your repository:

• M365_PAGE_URL

• M365_USERNAME
• M365_PASSWORD
• M365_OTP_SECRET (only when using MFA)
