[Bug]: `@playwright/experimental-ct-react` does not export `package.json`, which breaks VS Code extension

[glacius-mitchell]

Version

1.45.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Start a fresh Debian dev container in VS Code.

2. Install Node.js via the instructions at https://github.com/nodesource/distributions?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-instructions-deb.

3. Enable Corepack via sudo corepack enable.

4. Initialize a Playwright project via pnpm create playwright. Note that it uses @playwright/test.

5. Install the Playwright Test extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-playwright.playwright).

6. Go to the Testing tab and observe that tests/example.spec.ts is listed as expected.

7. Run pnpm remove @playwright/test && pnpm add --save-dev @playwright/experimental-ct-react.

8. Go to the Testing tab and observe that tests/example.spec.ts is no longer detected when using @playwright/experimental-ct-react instead of @playwright/test.

Expected behavior

I expect the Playwright Test extension for VS Code to work the same whether I'm using @playwright/test or @playwright/experimental-ct-react.

Actual behavior

The Playwright Test extension for VS Code works with @playwright/test but not with @playwright/experimental-ct-react.

Additional context

If we take a look at https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-vscode/blob/v1.1.7/src/playwrightFinder.ts#L33, we see that the VS Code extension is trying to load @playwright/experimental-ct-react's package.json file as follows:

packageJSONPath = require.resolve(path.join(packageName, 'package.json'), { paths: [process.cwd()] });

This is fine for @playwright/test since it exports package.json:

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/4089f4593b3430dda5e4aca28119c50b71bd85e7/packages/playwright-test/package.json#L17-L27

However, this doesn't work for @playwright/experimental-ct-react since it doesn't export package.json:

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/4089f4593b3430dda5e4aca28119c50b71bd85e7/packages/playwright-ct-react/package.json#L17-L30

Indeed, if we run that line of code in a test script, we encounter the following error:

Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: Package subpath './package.json' is not defined by "exports" in /workspaces/debian/node_modules/@playwright/experimental-ct-react/package.json

Suggested fix

The fix should be as simple as adding a "./package.json": "./package.json" entry to the exports section of @playwright/experimental-ct-react's package.json file.

Note that you'll probably want to do the same for the other @playwright/experimental-ct-* packages as well.
