I maintain a number of Playwright tests for work and recently ran into a frustrating issue. I set up my new desktop recently and everything was running great but I was having issues getting intellisense to work for my Playwright stuff. At the top of all of my tests I was getting the dreaded:
|
|
```shell
|
|
Cannot find module '@playwright/test' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)
|
|
```
|
|
error when hovering over:
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { expect, test } from '@playwright/test';
|
|
```
|
|

I did a bunch of searches online that mention making sure Playwright is installed properly using `npx playwright install`. In my case I knew everything was set up and we use yarn workspaces for our project anyway. Well fortunately all of this was working on my Thinkpad so I started trying to compare everything. I had the Playwright extension installed already. I use [VSCodium](https://vscodium.com/) instead of VSCode but that doesn't matter in this case. Then I wondered if maybe, just maybe it was a TypeScript issue so I looked at the version running on my Thinkpad. It was an older version than what was running on my desktop. I switched it on my desktop to use the workspace version and voila, everything started working!

In case you are curious, the version I was having problems with was `TypeScript 5.7.2` and the version that works for me is `TypeScript 5.5.4-sdk`.

If you aren't sure how to change this setting, open a TypeScript file in your editor and look for `TypeScript` in the lower right hand toolbar. Their should be a pair of `{}` next to it. Clicking the `{}` will open the menu.

This is the same for VSCode as well. |
