Is there a Test Explorer for Playwright?

I am looking for a tests explorer for Playwright that has a GUI, similar to what Cypress has (as shown in the screenshot). That is, an interface that allows you to visualize and run your tests, but I find that in Playwright you can only run the tests from the command line or IDE. Any leads? Cypress Test Explorer

I don't think that Playwright has that option yet. But the closest thing that you can get is the Playwright Inspector.

To open the test in the Playwright Inspector UI, you have to run the command

  • Debugging all Tests: npx playwright test --debug
  • Debugging one test: npx playwright test example --debug

You will get a screen like this where you can visually see the test execution with test steps:

Another Option would be the Playwright Test extension for VS Code. You can visualize the test execution like this:

Another option would be the Playwright Cloud by LambdaTest. It is a paid tool but has a free tier. But it is exactly what you are looking for:
