Why
A literal host pins the test to one environment and leaks internal hostnames into a repository that may become public. baseURL belongs in playwright.config.ts, where the environment picks it.
What to do instead
Use a relative path and let baseURL resolve it: await page.goto(‘/login’). Set baseURL per project in playwright.config.ts from an env var. For API calls, use the request fixture’s configured baseURL rather than a literal host.
Examples
// ✗ no-hardcoded-urls
await page.goto('https://staging.internal.acme.com/login');// ✓
await page.goto('/login');
