Introducing Playwright Support for Nx

The blog post announces the release of a new plugin, @nx/playwright, which integrates the Playwright end-to-end testing framework into Nx workspaces, facilitating testing across multiple browsers and mobile viewports. Playwright automatically performs actionability checks and generates HTML test reports, enhancing developer experience by supporting modern rendering engines like Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox. The post provides a detailed guide on creating a new Nx React workspace with Playwright and demonstrates how to add it to an existing Nx workspace, including setting up configurations for both standalone applications and monorepo setups. Additionally, it offers practical examples of writing and running Playwright tests, along with insights into applying configurations for existing applications, thereby illustrating the simplicity and efficiency of using Playwright for web app testing in Nx environments.
