Playwright test runner adds -G shorthand

Introduced 2026-06-15 · score 0.95

HOW TO USE IT

When you need to exclude tests matching a pattern, run `npx playwright test -G <grep>`. `-G` is shorthand for `--grep-invert` and runs tests that do not match the regular expression.

npx playwright test -G "<grep>"

WHY THIS HELPS

Exclude matching tests from a Playwright test run using the command line.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Use `--grep-invert` to exclude matching tests.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.61.0
  • -G <grep> (alias: --grep-invert <grep>) (required): Regular expression; only tests that do not match it run.
