[Feature] Extend tsconfig and babel configuration

[btvanhooser]

I'm using @playwright/test with typescript in a project that already uses typescript, so I've made a 2nd tsconfig. I was previously using Jest which has ts-jest to handle the TS related configurations. Is there anything in the Playwright Test Runner where I can set that as well, or would I need to use ts-node or something of the like to be able to set a path other than the default "./tsconfig.json"?

Playwright should respect your tsconfig, could you provide more details on what your expectations are and what happens instead?

So in my project, I have a tsconfig.json and a tsconfig.e2e.json because I need different configurations for the e2e sub project, but when running playwright test runner it's unclear how to set the config path to point to the e2e config. I tried diving through the PlaywrightTestOptions class/interface and the CLI options and it wasn't clear how to set that.

I'm trying to migrate from the jest-playwright-preset pattern and there you can set the path via the jest config. I'm just trying to see if the same can be be done with this runner.

The playwright test-runner does so far not use your own tsconfig or babel configuration. I will keep it open and mark it as a feature-request so we can add support for it.
