Debugging of Playwright Tests: During development of Test cases or fixing Test cases, we need to Debug Test case to understand where Test case is failing Let us understand different ways: 1. CMD 2. VS Code Extension 1. CMD: In CMD there are 2 options: --ui and --debug 1.1 npx playwright test --ui : This will show execution flow and traces during execution as well as before and after execution 1.2 npx playwright test --debug: This will pause the execution and we can proceed step by step to next step 2. VS Code Extension: Using VS Code Extension, we can simply right click test or file or suite and can run test cases in debug mode. I personally feel VS Code Extension is more useful option for debugging. Regards PrinceAutomationDestination
