I can’t run tests, even the example test from the docs

It doesn’t look we can help much here, so closing this.

For completeness, please remove the browser cache folder:

rm -rf /Users/itamar/Library/Caches/ms-playwright

And, from a fresh directory/project attempt https://playwright.dev/docs/library and report if it fails in the same way or if there is another error.

Thanks!
