[Question]: Custom test id attr

[mturoci]

Your question

I would like to configure custom date test attribute, but the docs seem to confuse me a bit. It shall be possible to specify via a test config (not able to find anything related to this, a hyperlink would solve this) or via playwright.selectors.set_test_id_attribute which is also not clear where it's coming from.

After a bit of digging, I found out the playwright obj is a fixture so maybe something that could be better described in the docs as well?

Yes, the docs are currently wrong for the language ports. In Python you can use e.g. the playwright fixture and use it to call playwright.selectors.set_test_id_attribute("..."). The easiest is to do it inside a session fixture with auto=true so its only done once when you are using pytest-playwright.

Yep, that's what I ended up doing.

Any plans on supporting a config similar to the JS counterpart though?

We have a feature request for it here: microsoft/playwright-pytest#69
