azure-resource-manager-playwright-dotnet

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>  # Required: Azure subscription ID
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod  # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>  # For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>  # For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>  # For service principal auth (optional)

Authentication

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

// Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
    DefaultAzureCredential.DefaultEnvironmentVariableName
);
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:
// See https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-dotnet#credential-classes
// var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();
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}");

2. Get Existing Workspace

// Get by name
var workspace = await workspaceCollection.GetAsync("my-playwright-workspace");

// Or check if exists first
bool exists = await workspaceCollection.ExistsAsync("my-playwright-workspace");
if (exists)
{
    var existingWorkspace = await workspaceCollection.GetAsync("my-playwright-workspace");
    Console.WriteLine($"Workspace found: {existingWorkspace.Value.Data.Name}");
}

3. List Workspaces

// List in resource group
await foreach (var workspace in workspaceCollection.GetAllAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Workspace: {workspace.Data.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Location: {workspace.Data.Location}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  State: {workspace.Data.ProvisioningState}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Data Plane URI: {workspace.Data.DataplaneUri}");
}

// List across subscription
await foreach (var workspace in subscription.GetPlaywrightWorkspacesAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Workspace: {workspace.Data.Name}");
}

4. Update Workspace

var patch = new PlaywrightWorkspacePatch
{
    Tags =
    {
        ["Team"] = "Dev Exp",
        ["Environment"] = "Staging",
        ["UpdatedAt"] = DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("o")
    }
};

var updatedWorkspace = await workspace.Value.UpdateAsync(patch);

5. Check Name Availability

using Azure.ResourceManager.Playwright.Models;

var checkRequest = new PlaywrightCheckNameAvailabilityContent
{
    Name = "my-new-workspace",
    ResourceType = "Microsoft.LoadTestService/playwrightWorkspaces"
};

var result = await subscription.CheckPlaywrightNameAvailabilityAsync(checkRequest);

if (result.Value.IsNameAvailable == true)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Name is available!");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Name unavailable: {result.Value.Message}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Reason: {result.Value.Reason}");
}

6. Get Quota Information

// Subscription-level quotas
await foreach (var quota in subscription.GetPlaywrightQuotasAsync(AzureLocation.WestUS3))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Quota: {quota.Data.Name}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Limit: {quota.Data.Limit}");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Used: {quota.Data.Used}");
}

// Workspace-level quotas
var workspaceQuotas = workspace.Value.GetAllPlaywrightWorkspaceQuota();
await foreach (var quota in workspaceQuotas.GetAllAsync())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Workspace Quota: {quota.Data.Name}");
}

7. Delete Workspace

// Delete (long-running operation)
await workspace.Value.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

Key Types Reference

Type	Purpose
`ArmClient`	Entry point for all ARM operations
`PlaywrightWorkspaceResource`	Represents a Playwright Testing workspace
`PlaywrightWorkspaceCollection`	Collection for workspace CRUD
`PlaywrightWorkspaceData`	Workspace creation/response payload
`PlaywrightWorkspacePatch`	Workspace update payload
`PlaywrightQuotaResource`	Subscription-level quota information
`PlaywrightWorkspaceQuotaResource`	Workspace-level quota information
`PlaywrightExtensions`	Extension methods for ARM resources
`PlaywrightCheckNameAvailabilityContent`	Name availability check request

Workspace Properties

Property	Description
`DataplaneUri`	URI for running tests (e.g., `https://api.dataplane.{guid}.domain.com`)
`WorkspaceId`	Unique workspace identifier (GUID)
`RegionalAffinity`	Enable/disable regional affinity for test execution
`LocalAuth`	Enable/disable local authentication (access tokens)
`ProvisioningState`	Current provisioning state (Succeeded, Failed, etc.)

Best Practices

Use WaitUntil.Completed for operations that must finish before proceeding
Use WaitUntil.Started when you want to poll manually or run operations in parallel
Always use DefaultAzureCredential — never hardcode keys
Handle RequestFailedException for ARM API errors
Use CreateOrUpdateAsync for idempotent operations
Navigate hierarchy via Get* methods (e.g., resourceGroup.GetPlaywrightWorkspaces())
Store the DataplaneUri after workspace creation for test execution configuration

Error Handling

using Azure;

try
{
    var operation = await workspaceCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
        WaitUntil.Completed, workspaceName, workspaceData);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Workspace already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 400)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Bad request: {ex.Message}");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ARM Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}

Integration with Test Execution

After creating a workspace, use the DataplaneUri to configure your Playwright tests:

// 1. Create workspace (this SDK)
var workspace = await workspaceCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed, "my-workspace", workspaceData);

// 2. Get the service URL
var serviceUrl = workspace.Value.Data.DataplaneUri;

// 3. Set environment variable for test execution
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PLAYWRIGHT_SERVICE_URL", serviceUrl.ToString());

// 4. Run tests using Azure.Developer.MicrosoftPlaywrightTesting.NUnit
// (separate package for test execution)
