I have multiple test files in a specific folder with extension spec.ts. How I can run a particular file with Playwright?
Currently for configuration is set as the test folder and will run all files (tests) from it:
testDir: './smokeTests',
I assume that there is some option in the config file, but I'm not sure which one.
Use testMatch in config:
testMatch:['sampleTest.spec.ts']

npx playwright test sampleTest.spec.tsThis comment should be an answer for permanence:
npx playwright test path/to/your-specific-test.test.js
will run one file with the path path/to/your-specific-test.test.js.
Wildcards like * are allowed to run multiple files and directories can be used to run all tests in the directory.
Keep the default testMatch pattern in mind when naming test files.
If the file name is unique:
npx playwright test testFile.spec.ts
If the file name is not unique:
npx playwright test uniquePath/testFile.spec.ts
projects: [
{
name: "login",
testMatch: /loginTests.spec.ts/,
},
]
Note that this testMatch is within a dedicated playwright project, this way you avoid changing the global configuration.
