Vitest Browser Mode
Not part of recipe e2e. Vitest Browser Mode runs component tests inside a real browser via Vite. That is a different product surface from untestutils recipes (prepare → start → live URL).
| Track | Runner | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Recipe e2e (primary) | Vitest Node + Playwright / Playwright Test | Live URL from leaseTarget / harness |
| Nuxt unit | environment: 'untestutils' | In-process Vue/Nuxt |
| Browser Mode (optional, later) | Vitest browser provider | In-Vite UI components |
1.0 stance
- Classic Node + Playwright against a leased URL remains the primary e2e path.
- A dedicated Browser Mode package/helpers may appear after 1.0 if dogfood appears — it will not replace recipes.
- Do not mix Browser Mode config with the e2e
untestutils()plugin in one project.
