damn…I never believed in testing UI. maybe I haven’t build anything that complicated. but I can see playwright being useful the testing and debugging long forms.

Definitely a big fan of Playwright Codegen. And it’s def one of the tools that I use all the time to create my test code. 💯
But the selectors, actions and assertions are only a “best-effort” and Playwright can only know so much about what you’re wanting to test.
It’s recommended to inspect and look at the resulting output. :)
