Hi, I am putting this PR out as a feeler to see if there's interested in
improving this error message, but the copy is by no means final and I am
open to improvement suggestions.
My intention here is to:
- Explain what a "focused item" is - that we're talking about a test and
it being focused is most likely down it using `only`
Are there other types of "items"? Are there other ways to make them
focused other than `only`?
- Explain why we're even in focused mode and how to control it
The default scaffolded Playwright config file includes a forbidMode
expression driven by whether `CI=1` is set.
I ran into this when trying to reproduce a CI issue locally so I had it
set and unknowingly entered focus only mode.
I wasn't aware this mode was a thing because I was using the default
configuration from `npm init` and did not familiarize myself with all
the options in it.
Is there a way to tell if we're in a TypeScript or JavaScript project in
this function? I would use that to display the configuration file name
with the right extension.

When contributing some test cases, I was a bit confused about if I should use `skip` and `fail`, the difference between the two, and how they interact with CI/CD tests passing or failing: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/1939#discussion_r413946012.
This is my attempt at explaining the difference, but feel free to edit to make it more clear and concise (and correct any inaccuracies).
