This pull request significantly expands and modernizes the Selenium Grid documentation for Playwright on Sauce Labs. The update provides clearer guidance, introduces language-specific setup examples, and emphasizes best practices for test configuration and reporting. The documentation is now more comprehensive, user-friendly, and actionable for developers integrating Playwright with Sauce Labs.

Major documentation improvements:

  • Expanded Setup Guidance

    • Added a new "What You'll Need" section, listing prerequisites for using Playwright with Sauce Labs, including account requirements, supported browsers, and links to relevant resources.
    • Clarified that Playwright connects via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and mentioned upcoming native WebSocket support.
  • Multi-language Example Setups

    • Introduced detailed, tabbed code examples for JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, Python, and .NET, demonstrating recommended fixtures/extensions for connecting Playwright tests to Sauce Labs. Each example includes links to demo repositories and highlights best practices for session management and reporting.
    • Added environment variable-based setup instructions for all supported languages, with code snippets for each.

Best practices and troubleshooting:

  • Best Practices Section
    • Added guidance on running tests in headed mode, setting meaningful test metadata, and leveraging recommended fixtures

@edlavalette-sl, would it make sense to rename the section to "Remote Execution" and add a redirect from web-apps/automated-testing/playwright/selenium-grid/ to web-apps/automated-testing/playwright/remote-execution/?
