Vitest Output Format Example

file: src/recorder/player/playSimulators.test.ts

expected:
expected "spy" to be called with arguments: [ '#test-button' ]

received:
Received:

  1st spy call:

  [
-   "#test-button",
+   {
+     "selector": "#test-button",
+   },
  ]


Number of calls: 1

code snippet:
[
-   "#test-button",
+   {
+     "selector": "#test-button",
+   },
  ]

AI Prompt Example

Please help me fix the following Vitest test failure:

file: src/recorder/player/playSimulators.test.ts

expected:
expected "spy" to be called with arguments: [ '#test-button' ]

received:
Received:

  1st spy call:

  [
-   "#test-button",
+   {
+     "selector": "#test-button",
+   },
  ]

The test is expecting a string to be passed to the spy, but it seems we need to pass an object with a selector property instead. How should I fix this?
