[Question] What's the correct usage of setTestIdAttribute?

Hi, team. I have a custom test id attribute and I don’t understand the right place to set it (where to call selectors.setTestIdAttribute). I tried to do it in global-setup script, but alas. I don’t really want to wrap getByTestId function and set the test id before it, but that’s the only way I see right now.

It would be nice:

• add configuration parameter for custom test id;
• update the docs and provide more examples.

Thanks in advance!

        use: {
          testIdAttribute: 'data-pw',
        }

I’ll update the docs…

I think docs should be updated on following page too.

• https://playwright.dev/docs/locators#define-explicit-contract-and-use-data-test-id (This statement is false? Playwright has dedicated support for id, data-test-id, data-test and data-testid attributes.)

Edit: Maybe similarly here:
