Allure Playwright Java configuration

This page describes the configuration options that affect the behavior of Allure Playwright Java.

To set the configuration options, create an allure.properties file in your project's src/test/resources directory.

# src/test/resources/allure.properties
allure.playwright.steps.enabled=true
allure.playwright.steps.mode=actions
allure.playwright.parameters=redacted
allure.playwright.screenshots.attach=true
allure.playwright.failure.screenshot=true
allure.playwright.failure.page-source=true
allure.playwright.close.trace=true
allure.playwright.close.video=true
allure.playwright.close.page-logs=true

allure.playwright.steps.enabled

allure.playwright.steps.enabled=true

Whether to record Playwright API calls as Allure steps at all. Set to false to disable all automatic step recording while keeping artifact capture active. Defaults to true.

allure.playwright.steps.mode

allure.playwright.steps.mode=actions

Controls which Playwright API methods are recorded as steps.

• actions (default) — records recognized browser interaction methods and Playwright assertions. This includes navigation (navigate, reload, goBack, goForward), interactions (click, dblclick, fill, type, hover, check, uncheck, press, tap, focus, blur, clear, dragTo, dragAndDrop, selectOption, setInputFiles, dispatchEvent, and more), wait methods (waitForSelector, waitForNavigation, waitForURL, waitForTimeout, and others), and all Playwright assertion methods, on Page, Frame, Locator, and ElementHandle.
• all — records every public method call on the intercepted Playwright types, except equals, hashCode, toString, and not.

Use all when you need full API call visibility for debugging. For most projects, actions produces a cleaner report.

allure.playwright.parameters

allure.playwright.parameters=redacted

Controls whether sensitive values passed to Playwright actions appear in step names.

• redacted (default) — replaces values passed to fill(), type(), and press() with <redacted> in the step name. For example:
  • page.fill("#password", "secret") → Fill #password with <redacted>
  • page.type("#comment", "text") → Type <redacted> into #comment
• Any other value (e.g., plain) — includes the actual argument value in the step name.

Keep the default when your tests interact with password fields, tokens, or other sensitive inputs.

allure.playwright.screenshots.attach

allure.playwright.screenshots.attach=true

Whether to attach the image returned by page.screenshot(), locator.screenshot(), or elementHandle.screenshot() to the corresponding Allure step. Defaults to true.

When enabled, the screenshot bytes are attached to the Take screenshot step that Allure records for each screenshot call. The screenshot is still returned to your test code unchanged.

This setting only affects screenshots captured automatically when page.screenshot(), locator.screenshot(), or elementHandle.screenshot() is called as a step. It does not affect AllurePlaywright.attachScreenshot(), which always attaches the screenshot it captures.

allure.playwright.failure.screenshot

allure.playwright.failure.screenshot=true

Whether to capture a screenshot of each registered page and attach it to the test result when a test fails or is broken. Defaults to true.

Requires at least one page to be registered, either explicitly via AllurePlaywright.register(page) or automatically through Playwright's newPage() factory when AspectJ weaving is active.

allure.playwright.failure.page-source

allure.playwright.failure.page-source=true

Whether to capture the current HTML of each registered page and attach it to the test result when a test fails or is broken. Defaults to true.

Subject to the same registration requirement as allure.playwright.failure.screenshot.

allure.playwright.close.trace

allure.playwright.close.trace=true

Whether to stop and attach any open Playwright trace sessions when a BrowserContext or Browser is closed, or when the test ends. Defaults to true.

Applies to trace sessions started via AllurePlaywright.startTracing(). When disabled, open trace sessions are discarded without producing an attachment.

This setting does not affect trace attachment on test failure — open traces are always attached when a test fails, regardless of this value.

allure.playwright.close.video

allure.playwright.close.video=true

Whether to attach Playwright-recorded video files when a Page, BrowserContext, or Browser is closed. Defaults to true.

Applies only to contexts created with setRecordVideoDir(). The video file is read after the close, when Playwright has finished writing it.

allure.playwright.close.page-logs

allure.playwright.close.page-logs=true

Whether to capture console messages and page errors from registered pages and attach them to the test result. Defaults to true.

This fires when a Page, BrowserContext, or Browser is closed while a test is active, and also when the test ends normally (for any registered pages whose context was not explicitly closed). Two attachments are produced per page: one for console messages (Console messages) and one for uncaught JavaScript errors (Page errors). Empty attachments are not added.
