Playwright e2e test runner doesn't run any tests

[jafaircl]

Current Behavior

When starting an Angular project with version 16.7.0-beta.x and using Playwright as the e2e test runner, no tests are actually run with the e2e command. They don't fail and no obvious errors are thrown. But, no tests are run.

Expected Behavior

The test runner should find and run at least the default test.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new workspace with npx [email protected] as an integrated monorepo with no initial apps.
2. Install the Angular plugin with npm install @nx/[email protected] --save-dev.
3. Create an Angular app with npx nx g @nx/angular:application. Choose all of the default options EXCEPT to use playwright as the e2e test runner. (I named the app "my-app").
4. Run npx nx e2e my-app-e2e.
5. Run npx playwright show-report dist/.playwright/apps/my-app-e2e/playwright-report and observe that no tests actually ran

Additional Information

I traced the issue to this line of code:

nx/packages/playwright/src/generators/configuration/files/playwright.config.ts.template

Line 19 in 0527925

...nxE2EPreset(__filename, { testDir: './<>' }),

Playwright is looking in ./<> rather than ./src for tests. Changing the folder to ./src fixes the issue. It's possible that #18558 may fix this behavior but I'm not sure. I'm happy to open a PR if not.

those issues will be fixed in #18559
