Playwright Check Suites are currently in Beta. Join the Slack community to get live updates on feature development and get help getting started.
You can define a new group, or associate a Playwright Check Suite to an existing group.

​
Steps

​
1. Create a group for your checks

To define a new group, create a group file, for example website-group.check.ts. 
import { CheckGroup } from 'checkly/constructs'

export const myGroup = new CheckGroup('production-group', {
  name: 'Production group',
  logicalID: 'production-group',
  activated: true,
  muted: false,
  locations: ['us-east-1', 'eu-west-1'],
  tags: ['mac', 'group'],
  environmentVariables: [],
  apiCheckDefaults: {},
  concurrency: 100,
  runParallel: true,
  retryStrategy: RetryStrategyBuilder.linearStrategy({
    baseBackoffSeconds: 30,
    maxRetries: 2,
    sameRegion: false
  }),
})

2. Associate the group to the check

When specifying your Playwright Check Suite, you can reference the new or existing group, using its name: 
import { defineConfig } from 'checkly'

const config = defineConfig({
  logicalId: 'checkly-website',
  projectName: 'checkly-website',
  checks: {
    playwrightConfigPath: './playwright.config.ts',
    playwrightChecks: [
      {
        name: 'Critical Tests',
        logicalId: 'critical-tests',
        pwTags:'critical',
        frequency: 10,
        locations: ['us-east-1',],
        groupName: 'Production group', // use the name of the group you created
      },
    ],
  },
  cli: {
    runLocation: 'us-east-1',
  },
})

export default config

​
3. Deploy to apply the changes

npx checkly deploy --preview # confirm what will be deployed
npx checkly deploy           # deploy
You can now see your Playwright Check Suite in your group.
