PlaywrightAdvancedOptions

Help URL: /reference/forms/playwright-advanced-options

Purpose

Edit advanced Playwright configuration settings that don’t fit in the basic run configuration editor.

Common Tasks

• Set advanced use options (user agent, locale/timezone, mobile/touch, color scheme, geolocation, trace/screenshot/video, headers, proxy, HTTP credentials).
• Configure reporters.
• Configure a web server command + environment variables for runs that need a local server.
• Set global timeouts, retries, and “forbidOnly”.

Key UI Elements

• Use section: Advanced browser context/run settings (headers/proxy/credentials, tracing, screenshots, etc.).
• Reporter editor: Configure Playwright reporters.
• Web server section: Command/URL/port/timeouts and env vars.
• OK: Applies values back to the caller and closes.

Notes

• This dialog edits the configuration object in-memory and returns values back to PlaywrightTestConfiguration for saving.
• If you don’t need advanced settings, the basic options in Run and PlaywrightTestConfiguration are usually enough.
