[Question] Video and Trace

Hi guys! I am starting with Playwright 1.16.3 , and I am trying to use the Video Recording and Trace features, however, for some reason, I cant make them work. I could not find any video saved after the execution and the Trace just shows a blank page. This is the playwright.config.ts I am using on my project:

import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';
const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  use: {
    video: 'on',
    trace: 'on'
  },
  reporter: [ ['html', { outputFolder: 'test-results', outputFile: 'results.html' }]  ],
  timeout: 120000
};
export default config;

The commands I have tried are:

npx playwright test --reporter=html

and

npx playwright test

After that, I am running npx playwright show-report test-results after executing only 1 test, it passed, it opens the report. I could see there is a trace at the end of the report, but it appears to be blank when opening. In terms of the video, no file has been generated.

I could see on the project the test-results folder with a trace.zip inside.

Is there something I am missing or doing wrong in there ?

The test only launches the browser and navigate and login to a page.

Thanks a lot

@imartinflores In the config you’ve shared I still see ['html', { outputFolder: 'test-results' }]. Using test-results is not supported, please put any other directory there (or just omit it to use default playwright-report). This way you’ll get both videos and traces.

@dgozman oh alright, may be that, so when launching the browser I was calling both, a browser.newContext() and a context.newPage() when opening a new tab (Im trying now a wrapper for dynamics). Setting the options on that context() I am calling is working fine.
