See defaultIgnore and ignore for reference.

This is something I miss coming from Testing Library. In our projects at work we would configure defaultIgnore to something like "script, style, [data-test-hide], [data-test-hide-content] *". This allows us to easily exclude large irrelevant sections of markup from all test assertion failure output.

As an example, we have an embedded SVG at the top of the output in some cases, and every test failure looks something like this:

Caused by: VitestBrowserElementError: Cannot find element with locator: getByRole('form', { name: 'Deposit' }).getByText(/has been added to your balance/i)

<body>






  <div>
    <svg
      data-test-hide="true"
      id="uqn-t"
      viewBox="0 0 20 20"
    >
      <style … />
      <defs … />
      <rect … />
      <rect … />
      <rect … />
      <rect … />
      <g … />
    </svg>
    <div>
      <nav … />
      <section … />
      <nav … />
      <h3 … />
      <form … />
      <h3 … />
      <form … />
      <div … />
    </div>
  </div>
</body>...```

This sounds useful to have. Can you create a feature request?

If this is only for filtering error output, we can port createDOMElementFilter plugin from https://github.com/testing-library/dom-testing-library/blob/a86c54ccda5242ad8dfc1c70d31980bdbf96af7f/src/pretty-dom.js#L85-L86

Testing library uses is as getByText, but that part might not work unless playwright supports similar features.

Sure, will do. For my part, I'm only interested in filtering error output.
