[Command line flag that runs all "failures" from the last run]

Whenever I have a failure in playwright it is very expedient to use the --debug flag, however combing through the list of successful tests is time consuming and writing out the specific test on the command line is also tedious. I could write a shell script to handle something like this, but I assume it would be useful for others as well.

I could imagine it operating something like this:

3 failed
20 passed
npx playwright test --debug --failures

Then debug mode is initialized using only the failed tests.

Another implementation could be a “last” flag which could accept [“failures”, “flaky”, “success”, ?] to enable wider functionality and room to grow for new use cases. The “last” would be a reference to the last test run.

isn’t this a use case for the retries config option? This will re-attempt failed tests, hence there should ideally be no need for this --failures argument.

“Retries” does not allow for code modification since it only retries immediately after failure. A “failures” flag would be a quality of life enhancement for local development. Skipping all tests that passed would expedite read-eval-print cycles common with hands on playwright usage.

Really needed feature. It’s hard to re-run failed tests from the suit manually
