I would like to run automated Playwright tests with Github Actions. I created a cronjob for this, but it has no effect. What else should I consider? Here is the content of my .github/workflows/playwright.yml:
name: Playwright Tests
on:
push:
branches: [ main, master ]
pull_request:
branches: [ main, master ]
schedule:
- cron: '12 14 * * Mon-Fri'
jobs:
test:
timeout-minutes: 60
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions/setup-node@v2
with:
node-version: '14.x'
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Install Playwright Browsers
run: npx playwright install --with-deps
- name: Run Playwright tests
run: npx playwright test
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
if: always()
with:
name: playwright-report
path: playwright-report/

The run came 2 hours late. Patience is required here.
In the future, if you have to create cron jobs, I can recommend crontab.guru. Its UI is simple to create effective cron schedules.
