playwright-pnpm-workspace

name	playwright-pnpm-workspace
description	Use when running Playwright tests in this repo (luna.mbt) and either the test fails to discover specs ("did not expect test.describe()" / "two different versions of @playwright/test") or you're adding a new playwright config under astra/ or sol/. Captures the version-skew between root and per-package @playwright/test pins.

playwright-pnpm-workspace

Purpose

luna.mbt root pins @playwright/test@^1.58.2, but astra/package.json and sol/package.json independently pin ^1.59.1. Running pnpm exec playwright from the repo root resolves the older root-level version, while spec files imported from astra/e2e/ or sol/e2e/ resolve the newer per-package one. Playwright crashes with "did not expect test.describe()" because the registered test type and the discovered file disagree on which copy of @playwright/test they're holding.

This skill records which command to use for which directory and avoids burning a CI cycle on a version-skew bug.

When to use

• Adding or running a playwright config under astra/e2e/ or sol/e2e/
• Seeing Playwright Test did not expect test.describe() to be called here at test discovery
• Adjusting @playwright/test versions across the monorepo
• Wiring a new just test-… recipe that drives playwright

Workflow

Pick the runner based on where the spec lives
