[Bug]: testIdAttribute via config does not take effect in globalSetup function

[dcaldastp]

Version

1.43.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a test id attribute

import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';

export default defineConfig({
  use: {
    testIdAttribute: 'pw-test-id',
  },
});

2. Create a test that uses page.getByTestId(...)
3. Use page.getByTestId(...) in globalSetup function (probably the same happens for the teardown function)

Expected behavior

page.getByTestId(...) works seamlessly across setup/teardown functions and specs.

Actual behavior

I need to execute

import { selectors } from '@playwright/test'
selectors.setTestIdAttribute('pw-test-id')

In order for the selector to work as expected.

Additional context

This is working as expected. If you would like your setup to be affected by the config, use project dependencies instead.

I'll try updating the docs to make this clear.
