• Operating System: Windows 11
• Browser: -
• Other info:
  • VS Code: 1.78.2
  • Playwright Test for VSCode: 1.0.11

Source code

Link to the GitHub repository with the repro

https://github.com/rothsandro/repro.playwright-vscode

Steps

1. Create a new folder and run npm init -y
2. Run npm init playwright@latest and accept all default values
3. Open the folder in VS Code
4. Install Playwright Test for VSCode extension
5. Open the Playwright panel to see all tests

Expected

The extension should show the example test.

Actual

• No tests are shown
• A toast "Please install Playwright Test ..." is shown

The problem only occurs with the latest version 1.34.1 of Playwright. It works when installing the previous version 1.34.0

Same here (Apple M1 MacBook Pro, macOS Ventura 13.4, vscode v1.78.2, PW Test for vscode v1.0.11).

Also seeing this on Ventura 13.3.1, vscode 1.78.2, Playwright 1.34.1, vscode PW Test extension v1.0.11.

I noticed this error in the vscode output tab under the "Window" section:

[error] [Extension Host] SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'u', "undefined" is not valid JSON

This might be caused by #23203, which changed the import path used by the extension here from @playwright/test/cli to @playwright/test/lib/cli (the "./cli": "./cli.js" entry was deleted from package.json).

Same problem for v1.34.2

Works fine for me with v1.34.2
