TestRail Integration

Bidirectional sync between Playwright tests and TestRail test management.

Prerequisites

Environment variables must be set:

TESTRAIL_URL — e.g., https://your-instance.testrail.io

TESTRAIL_USER — your email

TESTRAIL_API_KEY — API key from TestRail

If not set, inform the user how to configure them and stop.

Capabilities

1. Import Test Cases → Generate Playwright Tests
/pw:testrail import --project <id> --suite <id>

Steps:

Call testrail_get_cases MCP tool to fetch test cases

For each test case:

Read title, preconditions, steps, expected results

Map to a Playwright test using appropriate template

Include TestRail case ID as test annotation: test.info().annotations.push({ type: 'testrail', description: 'C12345' })

Generate test files grouped by section

Report: X cases imported, Y tests generated

2. Push Test Results → TestRail

/pw:testrail push --run <id>

Steps:

Run Playwright tests with JSON reporter:
npx playwright test --reporter=json > test-results.json

Parse results: map each test to its TestRail case ID (from annotations)

Call testrail_add_result MCP tool for each test:

Pass → status_id: 1

Fail → status_id: 5, include error message

Skip → status_id: 2

Report: X results pushed, Y passed, Z failed

3. Create Test Run

/pw:testrail run --project <id> --name "Sprint 42 Regression"

Steps:

Call testrail_add_run MCP tool

Include all test case IDs found in Playwright test annotations

Return run ID for result pushing

4. Sync Status

/pw:testrail status --project <id>

Steps:

Fetch test cases from TestRail

Scan local Playwright tests for TestRail annotations

Report coverage:
TestRail cases: 150
Playwright tests with TestRail IDs: 120
Unlinked TestRail cases: 30
Playwright tests without TestRail IDs: 15

5. Update Test Cases in TestRail

/pw:testrail update --case <id>

Steps:

Read the Playwright test for this case ID

Extract steps and expected results from test code

Call testrail_update_case MCP tool to update steps

Test Annotation Format

All Playwright tests linked to TestRail include:

test('should login successfully', async ({ page }) => {
  test.info().annotations.push({
    type: 'testrail',
    description: 'C12345',
  });
  // ... test code
});

This annotation is the bridge between Playwright and TestRail.
