I am currently building tests in playwright, we use playwright UI to run the tests.

I would like to avoid adding the same if condition with assertion in different tests. Example:

Using playwright test generator recording the element .But it always pick in build locator like getByRole, getByText.somehow we have to use locator .
Is there any way we can skip this and pick only page.locator instead of page.getByRole

enter image description hereI am new to Playwright. I am trying to run my playwright test in windows 10 machine from commandline . I am unable to run my test due to a app selection pop up. Here is an image.

PS C:RaihanAutoPlaywright> npx playwright test
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rmdir ‘C:RaihanAutoPlaywrighttest-results’

So I just created a new project using Playwright version 1.17.132 and I am having the following issue:
I just added a new spec file exercise1.spec.ts; for some reason, it is not appearing in UI Mode and is also not running when I use npx playwright test. I also noticed that if I added new code to the example.spec.ts file, which is the default file, that file disappears from UI mode, but when the default code is added back, the spec appears again. My path is correctly set up in the configuration file: testDir: './tests',. I am not sure what else to look at. Can someone tell me what could be occurring or what else I should look at?

Playwright has documentation about how to parametrize tests from using project/fixture options:

Windows 10, using latest Node JS and VS Code versions. Installed Playwright Test for VS Code. The Testing sidebar is missing options; i.e. Show browser or Trace viewer, Pick locator, Record new, etc.

I have encountered a weird issue while testing a specific page on a website. All the tests work as expected, capturing a screenshot to a file works fine, but at some point, after the page gets rendered, the UI on Trace Viewer gets distorted. Reproduces both for Chrome, Firefox and Safari browsers. This is how the page looks like on Trace Viewer, a weird mix of the current page the test navigated to, and the previous page. Has anyone encountered this issue?
