Playwright Runner - VS Code Extension

Run Playwright test script with a single click from the editor itself.

In this video blog post, Kaushik introduces a VS code action extension that he has built called "Playwright Runner". He explains that the extension is a simple and easy-to-use tool for running Playwright tests in VS Code. Kaushik mentions that the extension is an open-source project and provides a link to the GitHub repository where the source code can be found.

To use the extension, Kaushik demonstrates how to install it from the VS Code extensions marketplace. He then shows the process of running a Playwright test by commenting out the test match in the Playwright config file and selecting the "Execute Playwright Test" option from the context menu of a test case.

Kaushik also mentions that the extension currently only supports Playwright tests and not Jest tests, but invites viewers to comment if they have a requirement for Jest support. He concludes the video by sharing his future plans for the extension and encourages viewers to show their support by leaving ratings and feedback on the extension in the marketplace.

Overall, the video provides a brief overview and tutorial on how to use the Playwright Runner extension in VS Code for running Playwright tests.
