Steps

• [Run the test]
  playwright test --list

• tests marked with fixme/skip shouldn't be shown
  or
• only tests marked with only must be shown

Total: 1 tests in 1 file

Actual

Total: 2 tests in 1 file

import {test} from '@playwright/test'

test.describe("describe", () => {
    test("short spec", async ({page}) => {
        await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
    })
    test.only("short spec 2", async ({page}) => {
        await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
    })
})

Do you have a particular use case where this is necessary?

[dimkin-eu]

Having a pair of files with tests marked by '.only', I wanted to check the amount and content of tests to be run, but in place of 20-ish, I got a whole bunch of ~3000 cases. Handling fixme/skip would not be so significant.

We assume that .only is used just for debugging purposes and never committed to repository. Is your use case different, do you commit them to the repo?
