After some thought, I think soft assertions are a good fit for checking pre-conditions. For example, the code below has two assertions to make sure that the necessary data exists in the database. Thanks to expect.soft, the second one still runs even if the first one fails, which makes debugging easier.
import { test } from "@playwright/test";test.describe.configure({ mode: "serial" });test.beforeAll(async () => { expect.soft(await fetchTasks()).toHaveLength(2); expect .soft((await fetchMembers()).filter((member) => member.status === "free")) .toHaveLength(2);});test("The user can assign all the tasks if enough members are free.", () => {});
