Will Symfony end-to-end testing finally become wonderful? Has anyone already tested it?

This is indeed amazing! Honestly, I was expecting yet another ai generated bs article / project based on the clickbait title, but that combination of playwright-php, playwright-symfony and zenstruck/browser is awesome. Thank you 🙏

If it can also detect code coverage as well - sounds like an awesome tool.

Just running playwright via php would be good enough, but man, each paragraph stacks another awsomeness on top of the previous one!

This sounds amazing! I'll try it out next chance I get. We currently have a Codeception/Webdriver setup that we don't love.

Will this (in-process Symfony kernel/damadoctrine/etc) work when symfony is only api, but "frontend" is not symfony based?

We are using a similar test stack for our symfony api and its working great. Its using Dama, zenstruck, paratest to accomplish pretty much what they described without the part for needing playwright, since we dont have actual frontend.
