Devtools make Playwright testing more difficult

TanStack Devtools version

0.9.2

Framework/Library version

React v19.2

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

We just recently upgraded from using @tanstack/react-query-devtools and @tanstack/react-router-devtools to integrating them into the new @tanstack/react-devtools. However, this upgrade started to fail our Playwright E2E tests that did selections for IDs of items since they also show up in the query devtools when using defaultOpen: true. This lead us on a bit of a goose chase before realizing it was the devtools getting selected. This is obviously only a problem when doing tests locally with the devtools enables, but it is something we do quite often. For now setting defaultOpen: false on all plugins work, but it feels like a sad workaround. display: none on the #tanstack_devtools also work, but that breaks opening it without even more nasty hacks.

Commencez par reproduire le problème avec TanStack Devtools 0.9.2, React 19.2, Playwright et query devtools configuré avec defaultOpen: true. Comparez les sélections de Playwright avec les devtools activés et masqués ; le travail est terminé lorsque les devtools restent utilisables et que les sélecteurs des ID d’application ne sélectionnent plus de contenu des devtools.
