[Bug]: Cannot run non bdd tests using the same fixtures

[viktor-silakov]

Given

A project with a mixture of BDD and non-BDD tests.

When

Running non-BDD tests that utilize fixtures based on playwright-bdd:

import { test as base } from 'playwright-bdd';
...
...
export const test = base.extend<...>({
...
});

Then

The following error occurs when a test uses these fixtures:

Error: BDD config not found for testDir: ...

Expected Result

BDD and non-BDD tests should be able to run independently without interference.

Reproduction Demo URL

None provided.

Environment

Node - v22.4.0
Yarn - 3.2.4
playwright-bdd - 8.1.0

Priority Level

Critical

When some tests are not BDD, you can setup their fixtures based on Playwright's test, e.g.:

import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
...
// for non-BDD tests
export const test = base.extend<...>({
...
});

Does this approach work for your setup?
And could you describe more the use-case, when you need to run both bdd and non-bdd tests together?

When some tests are not BDD, you can setup their fixtures based on Playwright's test, e.g.:

No, I can't, we use both the scripting approach and BDD like with sharing the same fixtures (e.g.: PO, and some other objects for electron testing)

And could you describe more the use-case, when you need to run both bdd and non-bdd tests together?

There are two kinds of test solutions e2e tests for full-stack QA and some DEVs that use mix of test that use low level approaches and HL together, this is very important for us.

BTW: I have downgraded to 7.5.0 all works well.

Ok! Could you create a minimal demo based on playwright-bdd-example?
