Fix parametrise https ignore

[adskyiproger]

Overview

This pull request adds support for configuring Playwright's HTTPS error handling via the IGNORE_CA environment variable. When IGNORE_CA=1 is set, Playwright will ignore HTTPS errors such as untrusted, self-signed, or staging CA certificates. This improves test stability when running in environments that use certificates not trusted by default (e.g., Let's Encrypt staging, test CA, or self-signed certs).

Details

• In Playwright configuration, ignoreHTTPSErrors is now set based on the value of process.env.IGNORE_CA.
• When IGNORE_CA=1, Playwright will skip certificate trust errors during browser tests.
• No functional change for environments that use publicly trusted certificates or do not set this environment variable.
• This setting is particularly useful in CI/CD pipelines and staging environments.

Motivation & Context

• GitHub Actions and other CI runners use fresh environments that do not trust staging/test/root CAs by default.
• Previously, Playwright tests would fail on domains using non-public or staging certificates.
• Developers and CI jobs can now toggle HTTPS error handling without modifying code/config between environments.

Usage

Set the environment variable IGNORE_CA=1 in your CI job or local environment to enable this behavior:

env:
  IGNORE_CA: '1'

Or via the command line:

IGNORE_CA=1 npx playwright test

Example Change

// Ignore HTTPS errors if IGNORE_CA=1 (for CI/staging SSL)
ignoreHTTPSErrors: process.env.IGNORE_CA === '1',

Additional Information

• No breaking changes.
• No impact on production or environments with trusted certificates.
