How do you specify a test folder/path with Playwright?

Question

I want to be able to specify a folder where my tests live so that Playwright doesn't try to run tests from all folders. Is there a way to tell Playwright to only run tests from a specific folder?

You can do this using the testDir config option. For example:

// playwright.config.ts
import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  testDir: './tests/playwright',
};

export default config;

It's also possible to do this by providing a folder when running playwright from the command line:

npx playwright test path/to/tests/playwright

Note, this won't stop tests from running outside this directory.

@FiddleFreak Let's say I have some tests in ./test and ./.example, I set testDir to ./tests, and run playwright test. Are you saying the tests in ./example would run as well? If not, could you clarify?

This works for me. There's a comment from Fiddle Freak in another thread that clarifies that this did work after all, there was some env variable getting in the way for them.
