[Feature]: Support configuring playwright.config searching in playwright-vscode about playwright HOT 4 CLOSED

For very large multi-package projects, the vscode extension takes a long time to search for playwright test files (> 5 minutes).

This sounds very long indeed. Have you tried running npx playwright test for such project and see if it works faster? It could be that requiring the source files takes significant time. If the problem is with the search of config, could you share an example project?

Unfortunately, the projects that I work with are all private so I can't share them.
Running individual tests via console commands works well as they target the exact test.

What kind of files does your repository contain? Would e.g. ignoring gitignore help you?

Might be a bit advanced, but have you tried to run the extension locally in debug mode to figure out of that specific line is causing the delay?

Could you try version 1.1.1 which we just released? Its a rewrite of a lot of internals, just to double check that this version is still causing trouble for your setup. Thanks!
