Focal Groups 🧪
E2E
@ironprogrammer highlighted that the PR to prerelease Playwright test utils — aka @wordpress/e2e-test-utils-playwright — has been merged, and is slated for release with Gutenberg 15.8 🎉. He noted that this facilitates inclusion of the package in other test suites, and expressed hope that it would eventually contribute toward improved E2E coverage in WordPress.
@oglekler wondered how well Playwright worked in WP admin, outside of the editor context. She referred to reports of Quick Edit rows disappearing after an update, and whether an E2E test could help identify this.
@ironprogrammer clarified that the release of the @wordpress/e2e-test-utils-playwright package was in response to several requests from community members who wished to use it, and encouraged continued exploration regarding previous discussions about Cypress.
