Playwright 1.32 introduced a UI Mode (beta) accessible via the `--ui` CLI flag. It opens a dedicated window split into a test list panel and a debug panel similar to the Playwright tracer. Key features include running individual or grouped tests, a timeline scrubber showing browser state at each step, an actions tab for step-by-step navigation, and bottom-bar views for Source, Console, Network, and Log. The Source view highlights the exact line of code for each action and surfaces errors inline. Tests can be opened directly in VS Code from the UI, and the runner stays in sync with the codebase so fixes can be retried immediately.
