Playwright – Notes after a week of use

The playwright e2e tests are significantly easier to work with than cypress.

While developing the tests using the playwright test --ui option makes developing the test really easy.
You get to see what is happening at each step and can simply copy the final url to allow experimentation.

The only drawback is that on CI you can’t always see the server logs. This can be alleviated by adding small healthcheck endpoints.
