[Bug]: reponse.* calls still visible in test report

[kvnschlndt]

Version

1.50.1

Steps to reproduce

This issue was not fully resolved: #33558

In case you use route.fetch()
and then get the response json/text from it, the steps are still visible:

Expected behavior

This steps should not be visible in test report.

Actual behavior

I can still see this steps in the report.

Additional context

Probably allow some configuration to remove specific steps from test report?
Then everybody can hide not needed steps in their reports without required fixes from you side.

Closing as stale.

Simon Knott (@Skn0tt) why do you just close this bug?
I guess there are a lot of people awaiting this.

Its pretty clear from the screenshot how this thing is reproduced.
Here is some snippet:

import { test } from '@playwright/test';

test('Noisy test report', async ({ page }) => {
 await page.route('', async (route) => {
 const response = await route.fetch();

 const body = await response.text();

 await route.fulfill({ body });
 });
 await page.goto('https://google.com');
 await page.waitForTimeout(5_000);
});

There you see that steps are created for calling response.text(). The same happens for response.json().

If steps between the requests are happening the test reports become very noisy and a lot of entries are created.

Now that's a good repro I can work with, thank you.
