[Bug]: Timing issues with dynamically generated tests. (Updated, originally thought this was a globbing issue) about playwright HOT 8 CLOSED

Amending this, since it appears to not be the dashes.

If I set the "testMatch to the full path to this file, Playwright does not find any tests:
CommandScript00.playwright-test.ts

However, if I change the testName and file name to this, it works:
cmdscript00.playwright-test.ts

I'm not sure if it's the capitalization (Running in "git bash" on Windows, or a file length issue.

Can you please share complete reproduction project, so that we could try it locally?

Talking to Yuri internally for a private repo.

I'm still working on understanding what the delineation between passing and failing cases is. It seems to be inconsistent. But "test.playwright-test.ts" always seems to pass, and longer names or those with "-" do not. I'll see if I can binary-search this to a length issue.

This is looking like a timing issue with dynamically generated test files. My "globalSetup" is writing a bunch of files, and these invoke functions which create the tests.

If I dynamically generate the files in "globalSetup", then I get "no tests found". But if I could the generated files to another name, then the tests are found.

It appears I've hit the same issues as this Stack Overflow post:

Can you extract relevant parts into a minimal project, so that we could run it locally and reproduce the issue?

I'm closing this issue, since I've fixed the timing issue. Opening another one about a weird globbing behavior.
