This GitHub Action parses Playwright test results from a JSON file and sends a formatted report to a Slack channel using an Incoming Webhook. It is designed to help teams monitor test outcomes directly in Slack, providing quick insights into test failures and successes.

• Test Result Summarization: Summarizes the test results showing the number of passed and failed tests.
• Failed Test Details: Lists only the failed tests
• Optional Artifact Link: Includes a downloadable link to test artifacts if provided.

• results-json-path: Required Path to the JSON file containing Playwright test results.
• artifact-url: Optional URL to the test artifact for downloading directly from Slack.

SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: Required The Incoming Webhook URL provided by Slack.
