Version

1.44.0

Steps to reproduce

Does this also happen with a newly created project?

Ideally we have something which we can run locally in order to reproduce this bug, thanks for your understanding!

[mjeruzal427]

@mxschmitt Yes, it does. I've initialized a brand new playwright project by using the command:

npm init playwright@latest

The project was not modified by me at any step.

With the latest (1.1.1) extension available "Run Test" buttons do not appear for example.spec.ts:

After rolling back to previous version of extension (1.0.22) the buttons are available:

We noticed the same thing when we upgraded. On further investigation we found that we need to set the Projects we wish to have included in the test runner:

This configuration was stored then on /.vscode/settings.json.

hey @mxschmitt 👋
Experiencing something similar. I suspect it happens when you have mutliple projects on your config pointing to different folders (e.g.

{
   name: 'foo'
  testDir: '.projects/foo
},
{
   name: 'bar'
  testDir: '.projects/bar
},

only foo will be picked up. you will also that in the tests explorer - only first project.

(PS only tested extension v1.1.0 but PW is on 1.43.1. It will take couple more days before we will upgrade)

I had a similar issue and found this post (also have multiple projects) For me it was also skipping my global setup for whatever reason. However using what @dsayerm posted with the projects toggles seems to have fixed it for me at the moment. Is that a new feature? I don't recall seeing that one before

Update: ^^^ That is new functionality +++ see this other issue -> #30808

With the latest (1.1.1) extension available "Run Test" buttons do not appear for example.spec.ts:

@mjeruzal427 can you share screenshot of the Playwright Test extension sidebar in that case?

[mjeruzal427]

@yury-s list of tests is stuck on "Loading..." forever. Also, I don't have any options available under "Projects" section as @dsayerm and @jtgober suggested.

[vladkrasn]

Yeah this seems to be tied to the new Projects tab in the extenstion. Would be nice if Play button appeared even if the project is disabled

[yury-s]

@mjeruzal427 Could you please share console output from Developer Tools console, you can open it from command menu

And also Extension Host logs. From the command menu (Command+Shift+P on Mac): Developer: Show Logs... > Extension Host, and then copy the logs:

@mjeruzal427: what happens when you run it from the command line?

[mjeruzal427]

@yury-s, @pavelfeldman The problem has been resolved after I installed the latest version (1.1.5) of the extension. This issue can be closed now. Thank you.
