- this file is used to set up the test environment by setting the username and password for saucedemo.com
- and is executed from the playwright.config.js file with the globalSetup keyword
- once executed, the file creates the sauceDemoLogin.json file, that will be used in further tests
- the sauceDemoLogin.json file is then put at the top of each individual test such with this:
     - test.use({ storageState: 'sauceDemoLogin.json'});
