[Bug]: Codecept with Playwright e2e tests throws connection refused error in Github Actions

[RashmiRamdas]

I'm trying to run e2e tests in parallel with workers (run-workers) in Github Actions in headless mode and getting this error

browserContext.storageState: net::ERR_FAILED at https://localhost:3000/ at Playwright._after
Some of the tests run successfully before throwing this error.
I have observed this error only on Github Actions and works fine on local

browserContext.storageState: net::ERR_FAILED at https://localhost:3000/
    at Playwright._after (/data/runners/node_modules/codeceptjs/lib/helper/Playwright.js:434:50) {
  name: 'Error'
}

perhaps the url is not proper? http://localhost:3000/ instead of https

[RashmiRamdas]

URL is correct, it is https://localhost:3000/showcase. Some of the tests pass with this config and some random tests fails with above error.

Also, created ticket with playwright microsoft/playwright#15642 for this issue. They have confirmed its related to codecept module as there is no Playwright._after in the stock Playwright library.

Is this still valid?

    // close other sessions
    try {
      const contexts = await this.browser.contexts();
      const currentContext = contexts[0];
      if (currentContext && (this.options.keepCookies || this.options.keepBrowserState)) {
        this.storageState = await currentContext.storageState();
      }

      await Promise.all(contexts.map(c => c.close()));
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
    }

    // await this.closeOtherTabs();
    return this.browser;

Currently all storageState activity is wrapped in try/catch block

Same issue with bitbucket pipelines

[mosaadm]

any updates on this ?

[Emad-Armoun]

Are there any updates on this?

[achisholm]

Arrived here via microsoft/playwright#15642. I'm experiencing this same issue on playwright v1.29.2 when I run a github action

[AyoCodess]

any updates, we have the same issue in GitHub actions only. everything works well locally

[coskunuyar]

my action is giving up on playwright :)

[kobenguyent]

Closed for now! Feel free to reopen if you still encounter the issue with latest version and would be nice to provide a sample code to reproduce the issue.
