Setting Up Playwright & Cucumber UI Tests in Azure DevOps with LambdaTest

Here is a step-by-step guide to configuring your Playwright/Cucumber test suite to run on LambdaTest Cloud via Azure DevOps pipelines, returning test results directly to Azure. 1. Prerequisites A GitHub repository containing your Playwright, Cucumber, and JavaScript automation code. An active Azure DevOps account with a project created. A LambdaTest account (you will need your username and access key). 2. Connect GitHub to Azure DevOps In Azure DevOps, navigate to Pipelines > New Pipeline. Select GitHub as the source and authenticate your account. Choose your repository and target branch (e.g., main). 3. Create LambdaTest Credentials Variable Group Go to Pipelines > Library in Azure DevOps. Click + Variable group and name it LambdaTest-Credentials. Add the following key-value pairs: LAMBDATEST_USERNAME = your_lambdatest_username LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY = your_lambdatest_access_key (toggle "Keep this value secret") Save the group. 4. Add/Update Your azure-pipelines.yml Place this configuration file in your repository root directory: trigger : - main pool : vmImage : ' windows-latest' variables : - group : LambdaTest-Credentials - name : BASE_URL value : ' https://your-app-url.com' - name : LT_BROWSER value : ' chrome' - name : ENABLE_LAMBDATEST value : ' true' stages : - stage : Test jobs : - job : UITestsLambdaTest displayName : ' UI Tests (LambdaTest Cloud)' steps : - task : NodeTool@0 inputs : versionSpec : ' 20.x' displayName : ' Install Node.js 20.x' - script : npm ci displayName : ' Install Dependencies' - script : npm run test:ui:smoke displayName : ' Run UI Smoke Tests on LambdaTest' env : ENABLE_LAMBDATEST : ' true' LT_USERNAME : $(LAMBDATEST_USERNAME) LT_ACCESS_KEY : $(LAMBDATEST_ACCESS_KEY) LT_BROWSER : $(LT_BROWSER) BASE_URL : $(BASE_URL) - task : PublishTestResults@2 condition : always() inputs : testResultsFormat : ' JUnit' testResultsFiles : ' reports/junit-report.xml' testRunTitle : ' UI Tests - LambdaTest Cloud' 5.
