Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Microsoft Playwright Testing workspaces via Azure Resource Manager.

⚠️ Management vs Test Execution

• This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright): Create workspaces, manage quotas, check name availability
• Test Execution SDK (Azure.Developer.MicrosoftPlaywrightTesting.NUnit): Run Playwright tests at scale on cloud browsers

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Versions: Stable v1.0.0, Preview v1.0.0-beta.1

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright;

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
    new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));

Resource Hierarchy

ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    ├── PlaywrightQuotaResource (subscription-level quotas)
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── PlaywrightWorkspaceResource
            └── PlaywrightWorkspaceQuotaResource (workspace-level quotas)

Core Workflow

1. Create Playwright Workspace

using Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright;
using Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright.Models;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define workspace
var workspaceData = new PlaywrightWorkspaceData(AzureLocation.WestUS3)
{
    // Optional: Configure regional affinity and local auth
    RegionalAffinity = PlaywrightRegionalAffinity.Enabled,
    LocalAuth = PlaywrightLocalAuth.Enabled,
    Tags =
    {
        ["Team"] = "Dev Exp",
        ["Environment"] = "Production"
    }
};

// Create workspace (long-running operation)
var workspaceCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetPlaywrightWorkspaces();
var operation = await workspaceCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-playwright-workspace",
    workspaceData);

PlaywrightWorkspaceResource workspace = operation.Value;

// Get the data plane URI for running tests
Console.WriteLine($"Data Plane URI: {workspace.Data.DataplaneUri}");
Console.WriteLine($"Workspace ID: {workspace.Data.WorkspaceId}");
