If a test is skipped with a reason, the reason is not shown.

Sample test code:

test.beforeAll(async ({ browser }) => {
  await test.step(
    "Check if flag is on",
    async () => {
      const page = await browser.newPage();
      const flag=false;
      test.skip(!flag, "Cannot run suite.");
      await page.close();
    },
  );
});

Actual Result: The skip reason Cannot run suite. is not shown in the skipped test in RP. Playwright html report shows the skipped reason for the test.

Hello @quldude ! Thanks for the issue. Actually we don't have special space in RP to show skipping reason. Should we add it to the test as a log message or part of the test description? Will it suit you this way?

Could you add it in item details tab?

Also if a test has multiple annotations, could you add them as well in the same tab?

Thank you for the suggestion. We need to discuss your request in detail internally because the RP product collects test automation results from different platforms and languages. AFAIK, most test platforms don't provide annotation output to the reporter, and based on that we can't add a playwright-specific thing as a core feature. At the moment, we have three ways to add meta information to tests, regardless of their language and platform: attributes, description, logs. Since the Item Details tab already contains a description of the element, I think it's easiest to store the skipping reason and perhaps other annotations there.

I'm fine with adding meta data to description field. Also keep in mind description field shows the error message if a test fails.
