Yeah I don't think unit testing would be useful. I don't think though that integration tests etc are useless though, more so now that it is possible to test the UI states too. I didn't know playwright to be fair, I read it "automatically" generates tests? Maybe I did misunderstand
There's a VS Code extension that records the steps you took and creates the test for you. But more often than not, you would have to make some changes too.
It doesn't generate them, you still have to write them. Ignore the marketing, look at the actual docs, same as any other framework.
There's a few other frameworks, I just prefer playwright because I'm used to it.
