Version

1.45.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up barebones Playwright example.
   • npm init playwright@latest
2. Run the Playwright command with both 'grep' and 'ui' CLI options.
   • npx playwright test --grep 'has title' --ui
3. Notice that the UI mode opens with all tests, not just those matching the 'grep' pattern.

Expected behavior

When using bothgrepanduiCLI options, the UI mode should only display tests that match the specifiedgreppattern.

Actual behavior

When using bothgrepanduiCLI options, the UI mode displays all tests, not just those matching the specifiedgreppattern. It seems that thegrepCLI option is ignored entirely when theuiCLI option is also used.

Additional context

These two CLI options worked well together in version 1.42.1. They stopped working together via CLI from 1.43 onward.

These two options do work together if you specifygrepas an option in the Playwright config file, rather than specifying it command line, and then use theuiCLI option alone. This will open the UI mode filtered to only tests that match thegrepoption specified in the config.
