⚙️ Automating Allure Setup in Playwright
Install Required Packages

['allure-playwright', { resultsDir: 'allure-results' }]
]
Add Post-Test Script to Generate Report Automatically
→ Use package.json scripts to chain test execution and report generation:
"scripts": {
"test": "playwright test",
"report": "allure generate allure-results --clean -o allure-report && allure open allure-report",
"test:report": "npm run test && npm run report"
}
