The reason for needing to clearly state ".ts" in import statements for TypeScript when using the Playwright framework is to ensure that the TypeScript compiler knows what type of module it is importing. Since Playwright is written in TypeScript, its module files have a ".ts" extension. By specifying the ".ts" extension in the import statement, the TypeScript compiler can properly locate and compile the module. Without this specification, the compiler may assume that the module is a JavaScript file and attempt to compile it as such, leading to compilation errors.
