[Bug]: UI Mode - 1 minute very slow at start of ui mode due to watcher watching excessive files (esp. on windows) about playwright

[lukpsaxo]

I looked into using the test ignore within the watcher and I couldn't get a nice translation to what chokidar expects from playwright testIgnore, so if that's implemented I think it would have to be a function that then uses the code within projectUtils to work out if playwright expects the path to be ignored, so a bigger change. Let me know if this is something you are interested in supporting but only through a contribution and I can have a go at it.

Thank you for fixing this!

This is something we would like to support if possible, unless it turns out to be really hard. If you'd like to contribute, that would be wonderful! In this case, please file a new issue to track it.
