Issue where Playwright is not running all test files

Hello,

I'm not sure what's going on but whenever I run npx playwright test without any arguments, it is only running a single test file (the last test file I was writing) instead of all test files. However, when I run npx playwright test --list, it will show all the test files, as expected. I am using @playwright/[email protected] and [email protected]. Please help!

This thread is trying to answer question "Why is Playwright only running a single test file instead of all test files?"

It can be a config issue…. I would suggest you to check value you have mentioned in testdir parameter in config file. Refer to below link for details

https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testproject#test-project-test-dir

I have confirmed I have the testDir config option set correctly. I have it set to './e2e' which is where all my tests reside. Here is an example of the directory structure:

Here is my playwright.config.ts file

Update: I removed the test file it keeps running against and tried npx playwright test again and it ran against all files. When I re-added the test file again, it went back to running against just that test file.

I just tried renaming the test file too, but it still runs only against that same test file, but with the new name...

perhaps you're using test.only?
