Playwright test debug fails with error

[algot]

The simplest playwright test from Getting Started manual fails on debugging

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Setup the simplest playwright test as described in https://playwright.dev/docs/intro#first-test

1. Create new folder
2. Run npm init -y
3. Run npm i -D @playwright/test
4. Create file test.spec.ts with following content:

import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test";
test("basic test", async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto("https://playwright.dev/");
  const name = await page.innerText(".navbar__title");
  expect(name).toBe("Playwright");
});

5. Press 'Run Test' button in code lens - test passed successfully.
6. Press 'Debug test' button in code lens - test failed to execute

Hey @roggenbrot can you help me with this?

[roggenbrot]

I'm currently on vacation with no access to a windows system for another week

[roggenbrot]

It seems that on windows the executables are not located in node_modules\.bin\ . Can you check if a symlink to the real location of playwright solves the issue?

[roggenbrot]

jestjs/jest#3750

[felixjb]

@roggenbrot I ended up not looking much into it but now I'm back. The problem is: I don't have a Windows setup to reproduce this bug =/

Also, there is another issue #53 that seems to be related to this one.

Can you help me with this one?

[roggenbrot]

I have also no windows installation 😊

I have the same issue with jest on node 16.14.12.

When I click on "Run Test", following command is invoked

node_modules\.bin\jest App.test.ts --testNamePattern="Binance"

When i click on "Debug Test", following command is invoked

cmd /C "set "NODE_ENV=test" && set "NODE_OPTIONS=--require "c:/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/resources/app/extensions/ms-vscode.js-debug/src/bootloader.bundle.js" --inspect-publish-uid=http" && set "VSCODE_INSPECTOR_OPTIONS={"inspectorIpc":"\\\\.\\pipe\\node-cdp.17492-6.sock","deferredMode":false,"waitForDebugger":"","execPath":"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe","onlyEntrypoint":false,"autoAttachMode":"always","fileCallback":"C:\\Users\\MATTEO~1.PIC\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\node-debug-callback-46e3eb920ccac4a0"}" && "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" .\node_modules\.bin\jest App.test.ts --testNamePattern Binance --runInBand "" "

In the first case launching node_modules\.bin\jest in the console, cause windows to actually start node_modules\.bin\jest.cmd and the process will execute successfully.

In the second case at the end of the command appears this strange combination "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" .\node_modules\.bin\jest.
.\node_modules\.bin\jest file is passed to nodejs runtime but it is not a javascript file, it is a linux shell script. Nodejs is not able to process that file.
