Getting Started with Playwright and VS Code

Let's get started with Playwright using the VS Code Extension. In this video we will walk though how to install the extension, then install Playwright and browsers needed, and go over what was installed. Then we will take a look at the example test and run the test while viewing it in the browser, and then learn how to run our tests in different browsers.

Hello, I do not want to use TypeScript. I either want to use python instead. Can I do it on Playwright extension using VSCode

[ThanhTuNguyen-ww]

Is there any ways to make this work with extend function in the test function. VSCode couldn't recognize the test as long as I extend it with i18n

when will you start playwright with Java Sessions?

npm : The term 'npm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the
name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Hello, im new to VS code and I have a few questions thought you could answer.

1. Do i need to install playwright in every folder i create? Whenever i create a new folder, i dont see them inside the test explorer.
2. Should test files should only be created in the tests folder? I created .ts files in other folders but i cant run them.
3. Whenever I rename the test file or rename the folder, I cant run them in the text explorer. So does this mean i cant rename my test scripts?

Thanks.
