Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

• The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
• All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
• All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
• A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
• Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
  it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.

Thanks for the first pass on this. I think it needs to be expanded a bit before it's ready. I would like to see an additional type besides image that is uploaded and that test to ensure that the correct number of items is in the media directory before filtering and then at each step of the way (i.e. if an mp3 is uploaded along with the two images, check that there are 3 normally, 1 with audio, 0 with video, and 2 with image)

[aaronjorbin]

Also, it would be nice to not only test the grid view but also test the list view

[jayson31]

Hi @aaronjorbin I have made the requested changes. Can you please recheck?

[swissspidy]

Generally with Playwright one should avoid using CSS class locators as much as possible. Use methods such as getByRole instead.

@swissspidy I have updated the locators except one as it does not have any additional attributes to refer to.
