Full release history

​
v1.7.1
March 2026
Added
  • Reporter version tracking - The reporter version is now embedded in every report, making it visible in the Checkly UI alongside your check results.
​
v1.7.0
February 2026
Added
  • Sensitive header scrubbing - HTTP headers like Authorization, Cookie, Set-Cookie, Proxy-Authorization, X-API-Key, and X-Auth-Token are now automatically redacted from reports and traces when scrubbing is enabled — no configuration needed. This prevents tokens and session cookies from leaking through network request data, even if their values aren’t registered as secrets. Disable with scrubbing: { sensitiveHeaders: false } or pass a custom list of header names to control which headers are redacted.
​
v1.6.1
February 2026
Fixed
  • System metrics memory readings - Fixed inaccurate memory usage and total memory reported in containerized environments.
​
v1.6.0
February 2026
Added
  • Test source code - The source code of each executed test and its dependency files (helpers, page objects, utilities) are now included in the report. View the exact test body alongside results in the Checkly UI.
  • System metrics - CPU and memory usage are sampled throughout the test run, helping diagnose resource-constrained failures.
  • Active duration - Reports now distinguish actual test execution time from total wall-clock time, so idle gaps from worker scheduling don’t inflate your numbers.
  • Prefix-based secret scrubbing - Environment variables starting with CHECKLY_SECRET_ are now automatically scrubbed from reports, traces, and logs. Customize the prefix or disable it via the scrubbing.prefix option.
Changed
  • Scrubbing now covers logs - Secret scrubbing now extends to reporter log entries, not just the JSON report and trace files.
​
v1.5.0
February 2026
Added
  • Test command - The test command is now automatically detected and shown in the Checkly UI. Override with the testCommand option or CHECKLY_TEST_COMMAND env var.
  • Job logs - CI job logs are now included in test session uploads.
​
v1.4.2
February 2026
Fixed
  • Missing credentials now show a clean warning instead of a stack trace. Other reporters continue working normally.
Changed
  • Improved summary table format.
​
v1.4.1
February 2026
Critical Bug Fix1.4.0 is deprecated. Use this version.
  • Fixed npm install failing with 404 error due to missing dependency.
​
v1.4.0
February 2026
Added
  • Secret scrubbing - Automatically scrub sensitive values from reports and trace files. Configure via the new scrubbing option:
    • envVars: Array of environment variable names whose values should be scrubbed
    • autoDetect: Auto-detect secrets from env vars matching common patterns (SECRET, KEY, TOKEN, PASSWORD, CREDENTIAL, AUTH, PRIVATE, API)
    • replacement: Custom replacement string (default: *********)
    • Set scrubbing: false to disable scrubbing entirely
createChecklyReporter({
  scrubbing: {
    envVars: ['API_KEY', 'DB_PASSWORD'],
    autoDetect: true,
    replacement: '[REDACTED]'
  }
})
  • Improved network and console data - Network requests now include detailed fields (domain, resource type, headers, timing, transfer/resource bytes). Console logs include location information. Resource types are automatically derived from Content-Type headers when not available.
Changed
  • Playwright 1.58 support - Now tested against Playwright 1.58.0.
​
v1.3.0
January 2026
Real-time test progress - Shows test results as they run with status icons, error details, and summary. Similar to Playwright’s list reporter. Disable with showProgress: false if using another reporter.Summary table - Displays per-project breakdown of test results with pass/fail/flaky/skip counts and pass rates. Disable with showSummaryTable: false.Automatic git detection - Automatically detects git information (branch, commit, author) in CI environments and locally.Test step code snippets - Includes source code context in test step reports. View the exact line of code that executed with surrounding context for easier debugging.
​
v1.2.0
January 2026
Breaking ChangesCredentials now required - Reporter requires Checkly credentials (apiKey + accountId) or explicit dryRun: true. Missing credentials now show clear error messages instead of silently skipping upload.If you’re not using Checkly Test Sessions, add dryRun: true to your config:
reporter: [['@checkly/playwright-reporter', { dryRun: true }]]
AddedImproved error messages for credential issues:
  • Shows both config option and environment variable (e.g., “apiKey / CHECKLY_API_KEY”)
  • Includes direct link to API keys settings page
  • Invalid API keys display “Authentication failed”
  • Wrong account IDs display “Access denied” with guidance
​
v1.1.0
January 2026
Note: This minor version contains breaking changes. Options API configurations in 1.0.x could lead to broken states, so we published this as a minor version and unpublished previous 1.0.x releases.
Breaking ChangesRemoved deprecated options - The following options are no longer supported and will throw an error if used:
  • outputFile - Use outputDir instead
  • testResultsDir - Use outputDir instead
  • outputPath - Use outputDir instead
ChangedSimplified options API - Introduced cleaner configuration:
  • outputDir - Directory for all output (JSON report and ZIP assets)
  • verbose - Enable debug logging
  • apiKey - Checkly API key (or use CHECKLY_API_KEY env var)
  • accountId - Checkly account ID (or use CHECKLY_ACCOUNT_ID env var)
  • sessionName - Custom session name (string or function)
  • dryRun - Generate report without uploading
Migration from 1.0.xIf you were using any deprecated options, update your configuration:
// playwright.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  reporter: [
-   ['@checkly/playwright-reporter', {
-     outputFile: 'results/report.json',
-     testResultsDir: 'test-results',
-   }],
+   ['@checkly/playwright-reporter', {
+     outputDir: 'results'
+   }],
  ],
})
​

  • Reduced package size
​
v1.0.3
January 2026
  • Fixed compatibility with Playwright’s TypeScript configuration loading mechanism
  • Reporter version now correctly displays in test session summary
  • CHECKLY_ACCOUNT_ID environment variable is now properly read for all features
​
v1.0.2
January 2026
  • Test session creation is now properly awaited before uploading results, fixing intermittent upload failures in CI environments
  • Sharded test execution now works correctly when using playwright merge-reports command
  • Default projects now preserve their empty name correctly
  • Output types now re-export from @playwright/test/reporter with Checkly augmentations for _checkly property
​
v1.0.0
January 2025

Migration from 0.x
// playwright.config.ts
+import { createChecklyReporter } from '@checkly/playwright-reporter'

export default defineConfig({
  reporter: [
-   ['@checkly/playwright-reporter', { outputFile: 'results/report.json' }],
+   createChecklyReporter({ outputDir: 'results' }),
  ],
})
