Bug: Error: Requiring @playwright/test second time

[phramusca]

Given playwright.config.ts:

import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
import { defineBddConfig } from 'playwright-bdd';

const port = 8080;
const baseURL = `http://localhost:${port}`;

const testDir = defineBddConfig({
  paths: ['playwright/features/**/*.{feature,features}'],
  require: ['playwright/steps/**/*.*'],
});

/**
 * See https://playwright.dev/docs/test-configuration.
 */
export default defineConfig({
  testDir,
  /* Fail the build on CI if you accidentally left test.only in the source code. */
  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
  /* Retry on CI only */
  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 1,
  /* Opt out of parallel tests on CI. */
  fullyParallel: true,

  reporter: 'html',

    baseURL,

  },

  projects: [

      use: {
        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'firefox',
      use: {
        ...devices['Desktop Firefox'],
      },
    },
    {
      name: 'webkit',
      use: {
        ...devices['Desktop Safari'],
      },
    },
  ],
});

When I try to run/debug tests in Visual Code with the "Playwright Test for VSCode" extension

Then If I run in debug mode, it stops with this first error (then there are others if I continue):

Exception has occurred: Error

and in the end, I get this error in the test results console:

But I expect test to run/debug.

Note that the tests are running fine with npx bddgen && npx playwright test.

Isolated demo Hard to make a demo since tests are included in a web react project that I cannot share easily. But I will try if really needed at one point.

Environment

Playwright-bdd environment info:

platform: win32
node: v18.19.0
playwright-bdd: v5.7.1
@playwright/test: v1.41.2
@cucumber/cucumber: v10.3.1
Playwright config file: playwright.config.ts

[vitalets]

Thanks for sharing this, I will check.

[phramusca]

Hi @vitalets Did you have a chance to check ?

[vitalets]

Hi @vitalets Did you have a chance to check ?

Hi @phramusca Tried to reproduce this on osx with exactly the same versions, but it works. Could you try to remove node_modules, run npm install and then try again? And re-try with the latest Playwright (1.42) and playwright-bdd (5.8)?

[adamwood-novafori]

I've come across this issue where I have two choices:

1. My VSCode complains it can't find the datatable import from the cucumber package when I only have cucumber installed as a peer dependency but in reality it all runs fine and I just put up with a file being red.
2. I add cucumber as a dev dependency, the file errors in the file go away but then I can't take advantage of the playwright VSCode plugin

[vitalets]

1. My VSCode complains it can't find the datatable import from the cucumber package when I only have cucumber installed as a peer dependency but in reality it all runs fine and I just put up with a file being red.

Is it TypeScript error or Node.js runtime error? Could you share the full message?

2. I add cucumber as a dev dependency, the file errors in the file go away but then I can't take advantage of the playwright VSCode plugin

After installing Cucumber you are getting Requiring @playwright/test second time error, right? Could you please clone playwright-bdd-example and run it in your VSCode?

[AdamJS123]

Confirming also receiving this issue. Running via a command line and no issue exists, whilst trying to run individual tests in the IDE to debug, the error appears.

[adamwood-novafori]

Just a TypeScript error on the import:

After installing Cucumber into the example project and running the test from the VSCode extention I can replicate the issue:

Side note: make sure you click the refresh icon in the extension once you've run bddgen

[vitalets]

@AdamJS123 @adamwood-novafori thanks, trying to reproduce.

[vitalets]

@AdamJS123 @adamwood-novafori could you clone playwright-bdd-example and try to reproduce this issue on it?

[adamwood-novafori]

The last screenshot in my previous message is from the example project: Steps to reproduce:

1. Open project
2. npm i
3. npm i -D @cucumber/cucumber
4. bddgen
5. Install the VS Code Playwright extension
6. Click the small refresh button in the extension if the generated tests haven't been detected yet
7. Then expand the tree of detected tests and click on the play button to execute a test from within the extension
8. You should then see the message

Hope this helps

[JHGould5607]

Same issue with the steps above. Unable to execute the test from the test runner.

[vitalets]

@JHGould5607 could you also share error stack with paths of requiring Playwright?

[PavelGlebovAndritz]

I made some experiments: when I copy (overwrite) all files from "playwright-bdd\examples\decorators" - repo to the "playwright-bdd-example" - all works as expected, I'm able to run test both from VSC Test Explorer and from command line.

I've made some investigation and released v6.3.0 that should possibly fix the issue. Could you try it and share the result?

1. Install latest playwright-bdd

npm i -D playwright-bdd@latest

2. Change playwright.config.ts to use new steps field instead of require:

const testDir = defineBddConfig({
  paths: ['playwright/features/**/*.feature'],
-  require: ['playwright/steps/**'],
+  steps: ['playwright/steps/**'],
});

3. Run tests as usual via CLI and via VSCode extension

After https://github.com/vitalets/playwright-bdd/issues/136 this issue should gone, b/c there will be single place of requiring Playwright.

This error should gone as since v7 playwright-bdd does not use Cucumber for requiring steps. Feel free to reopen in case of any issues.
