[Feature]: Can I somehow change the directory for saving screenshots?

[ViaMay]

Your question

I used this https://playwright.dev/java/docs/test-snapshots function
Can I somehow change the directory for saving screenshots?

[pavelfeldman]

Which language are you using? This page you refer to is for Java, it should not have test-snapshot section./

I assume you use JavaScript. Snapshot paths are not configurable when you are using expect.toMatchSnapshot. But you can page.screenshot({ path }) into any desired location.

Could you share more about your use case?

[ViaMay]

@pavelfeldman Yes I used JavaScript. Can you give an example of how you can save screenshots one level higher than the current test?

[mxschmitt]

It's not possible currently, the snapshot files when using toMatchSnapshot are always next to the actual test file (-snapshots directory). Why does this not work for you?

[ViaMay]

@mxschmitt it works but it is not convenient. I want to create a shared library of screenshots. And for different tests to refer to it. Now that not possible (

[dgozman]

This sounds like a feature request for more control over expected screenshots.

[ViaMay]

@dgozman Thanks!

@pavelfeldman hi, very upset that this fix will not be included in the next release. Tell me whether to wait for him at all?
