🏷️ Feature Request Type

New monitor

🔖 Feature description

As a user i want to run playwright tests with kuma in order to check more complex szenarios.

this is also available in other monitoring solutions:

• https://x.com/betterstackhq/status/1762496057148158211?s=46&t=U8zjU-fWbJNNX4kMhADeBA

✔️ Solution

In browser playwright tests. It’s ok, to copy them in a textarea, the best solution would be to connect a git repo to get the tests.

❓ Alternatives

None, without switching products or having a middleware to run tests.

I think what you are asking about (especially given the asked git integration) is likely better served by a CI-piepeline

[kaystrobach]

Agree. Git is completely optional. Main use case is very simple tests, like login to idm, open service.

The ci pipeline runs anyway. But can not run every minute etc.

other uptime checkers start to integrate these simple test case implementations to have better insights.

If it helps i can create a short video showing the use case. Please just tell me. Thanks

I too would love to see more complex checks available. I mentioned this on Reddit and was advised it was being tracked here. Currently Uptime Kuma has very limited use cases for me as all it can do is make sure my login pages are available. If Uptime Kuma had a way to log into these sites it could validate the site is actually working. The playwright integration changedetection.io is done amazingly well and a similar feature would add so much value to Uptime Kuma.
