Research direction

The issue points to Playwright's test-snapshots documentation and a Gherkin/BDD setup, but names no CodeceptJS files or tests. Start by reviewing the documented native snapshot flow alongside the repository's Gherkin and Playwright integration, then establish whether a supported example is possible and what a reliable completed setup would look like.

Description

stale

Hey everyone,

Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I cant find any proper way to use Playwrights native visual regression snapshots with a Gherkin BDD setup.
Doc here: https://playwright.dev/docs/test-snapshots

I am running my tests through Gherkin and BDD tooling, and everything works fine except the visual part. I would really prefer to avoid third party plugins and stay fully native with Playwright if possible.

Has anyone already managed to get this working in a clean and reliable way?

Any hint or example would be super appreciated. 😇
