pm2-test-services

You can manage PM2 services for Playwright test reports by using an ecosystem configuration file to start, stop, and restart persistent artifact servers, ensuring observable test services during local development.

Viewing logs across multiple PM2 test services is handled through a single interface using the PM2 logs command, allowing you to monitor trace viewers and test report servers concurrently from one terminal.

Generating dynamic workspace URLs for Playwright test artifacts in Codespaces or Coder environments is achieved by running a dedicated URL generation script, providing deterministic access to deployed test services.

Running Playwright report servers without manual restarts is possible by defining them within a PM2 ecosystem configuration, which orchestrates persistent background processes and handles automatic service monitoring.

A PM2 ecosystem configuration is required to enforce a deterministic workflow for starting, monitoring, and accessing multiple Playwright test services, providing consolidated log management and structured process control.

Using PM2 for Playwright test artifacts instead of static file servers enables centralized process management, consolidated log viewing across multiple services, and dynamic workspace URL generation for cloud environments.
