🚀 Feature Request: Add --skipServe option to @nx/playwright:playwright executor

[kirstilynn]

Description

The current @nx/playwright:playwright executor automatically infers and runs the devServerTarget before executing Playwright tests. While helpful for local development, this behavior creates friction with remote testing scenarios where the application is already deployed and running — and the dev server should not be started.

The @nx/cypress:cypress executor supports a --skipServe option to address this exact problem. It would be great to have equivalent support in the Playwright executor.

---

✅ Proposed Solution

Add support for a --skipServe option (or a corresponding skipServe boolean in the executor schema). When provided, the executor should skip launching the devServerTarget, even if one is defined or inferred.

Example usage:

nx run <e2e-project>:e2e --skipServe --ENV=<env-name>
