[Feature]: VSCode extension: better feedback for error in playwright.config

[scottdrichards]

🚀 Feature Request

If there are errors in playwright.config (for me I had a bad path for a reporter) playwright fails to run. When running npx playwright you get decent feedback but in the "Testing" toolbar, it just says "No tests have been found in this workspace yet. [Install Additional Test Extensions]". Perhaps the extension is not allowed to report anything better when it errors but it would be nice to see.

Having an "Output" for the extension would be helpful as well. I looked and didn't see any "Output" for "Playwright" in the console drawer.

Example

At a minimum: "Playwright encountered an error"

Better: "Playwright encountered an error: 'Cannot find module './reporters/performanceReporter.ts'"

Best: "Playwright encountered an error: 'Cannot find module './reporters/performanceReporter.ts'" [button to take you to terminal to see full errors]

Motivation

I spent a good deal of time trying to figure this bug out, the wording made me think there was a problem with the extension, not playwright itself.

Are you on the latest version of the extension? Here is what I see in the problems view when the config is trying to import something that is not available:

If the error does not show up there, can you share a repro with us?
