@BrunoQuaresma for instance, on your Mac:

coder start my-workspace
git clone https://github.com/coder/coder coder
cd coder/site
pnpm install
pnpm run playwright:remote my-workspace
# Above command gives you a shell in your workspace where you simply run tests like normal:
#   pnpm run playwright:test

I thought it was going to allow me to run the test on my workspace using the browser on my local machine

That's exactly what this does.

Rephrase, I thought it would just require Chrome on my local machine. Having to set up the other things is what usually made it hard for me in the past to get it working.

So why do I need to install extra things - from what I could see - besides Chrome only?

Because playwright decided to write their own API vs using plain Chrome DevTools Protocol. 😔

@BrunoQuaresma @mtojek I rewrote the script/setup a bit now, added docs, hopefully it's a bit clearer and easier to use.
