Implement new E2E environment once its ready in Woo platform

[tomalec]

Userdeveloper story

While trying to add admin-e2e-tests, I encountered some problems with e2e-environment while trying to fix them I got notified that e2e-environment is actually deprecated, and there is a new solution being baked: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/tree/trunk/plugins/woocommerce/e2e, but still not ready for extensions yet.

Once, something ready and stable for extension use will appear, we'd better implement it, as probably by that time, our dependencies will get pretty far behind.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

We cannot update Jest to 28, due to e2e-environment dependencies problems

How to reproduce the problem

See woocommerce/woocommerce#33852, woocommerce/woocommerce#33828, woocommerce/woocommerce#33827

Describe the solution you'd like

Wait for an E2E solution with clear setup instructions to be prepared, for the Woo extensions. Then just follow the instructions to implement it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Revive e2e-environment by trying to push updates and fixes there
2. Try adopting Playwright solution today

Technical

Acceptance criteria

Unknowns

• When the new solution would be released for external use?
• We would have to balance the costs of additional effort for early adopting & contributing to the platform and working with stale, legacy, non-supported e2e-environment

Out of bounds/rabbit holes

I can't find that now

Update - Found this thought

@tomalec is there an internal project you can point me to, I can't seem to find anything

Ok I think I found some recently closed ones that are likely related

But so far, it's all for woocommerce/woocommerce nothing stable for extensions
