🚨 Playwright Issue - Only Partial Tests Running

T SRIKANTH — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 05:00:23 +0000

Hi everyone 👋
I’m facing an issue in Playwright.

🧪 Situation:
I have a total of 101 tests, but only 10 tests are executing when I run:

npx playwright test

However, when I check with:

npx playwright test --list

It correctly shows 101 tests, but execution still runs only 10.

❌ Problem:

No tests are skipped
No failures shown
No obvious filtering applied

📌 What I verified so far:

No test.skip
No test.only (checked manually)
No intentional grep filter used
Tests are all valid and detected in --list

🧪 Command used:

npx playwright test

💡 Issue:
Only a small subset (10 tests) is actually executing even though all 101 are detected.

If anyone has faced this before or knows what could cause this (config issue, project setup, or hidden filter), please help 🙏
