IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS ISSUE?

a few weeks ago I started have a problem where when I create a new test the “run test” icon does not show up in the gutter and the test does not show up in the list of test in the side menu where all the tests are listed for the .spec file. The only way to run the test is to exit VSCode and open it again, then the test appear and I can run them.

I submitted a bug in github and got a response that, I interpreted, as the team having fixed the bug. But there was not comments. When I responded asking when the update would be available (via npm). I haven’t heard anything.

I joined the plawright discord server where you are supposed to be able to ask questions…. but I cannot. I sent a dm to one of the ambassadors – probably busy – but haven’t heard anything.

my environment:

Windows 11 Pro – os build: 22631.3593
VSCODE – 1.89.1 (user setup)
“@playwright/test”: “^1.44.1”
angular 16.1.7

github bug: [Bug]: Run Test (play icon/button) does not appear next to new test w/out relaunching VSCode #30943

I’m trying to run a new test with playwright. I have to reboot visual code in order to see the “run/play” icon.
