Description

Tried searching for a way to stop triggering google analytics on every scenario that gets run () having three different viewports also triggers a visitor for each test). This is probably an easy thing to do, but not really succeeding in this.

I sadly do not have any way to exclude my local machine from the google analytics.

I tried adding following in playwright/onBefore.js but this is unsuccessful. Any tips?

`browserContext.route('*.google-analytics.com', request => request.abort());`

Research direction

Start with the attempted route in playwright/onBefore.js and inspect how BackstopJS initializes browser contexts for each scenario and viewport. Verify the change by running scenarios and confirming that Google Analytics requests are not triggered.
