[BUG] Codegen not opening

See original GitHub issue

Context:

Playwright Version: 1.23.4
Operating System: Mac
Node.js version: 16.14.2
Browser: Chromium
Extra: Codegen

Code Snippet

npx playwright codegen https://google.com

Describe the bug

I’ve been trying to open codegen unsuccessfully. I’m seeing this behavior both via CLI and VSCode extension. When I run the command, I can see the Chromium app icon appear and bounce around, but after about 30 seconds it times out and produces these logs:

}

I have tried switching to latest Playwright version, but that didn’t work. I also tried switching versions and running npx playwright install but that didn’t work either.

I am, but it’s worked before and other coworkers can use it. Seems isolated to me… I’ll play around with some stuff since it doesn’t seem like a playwright issue. Thank you!

Is your device a corporate device, does it have security policies applied etc.?

You could also try npx playwright codegen --channel chrome https://google.com (requires that you have chrome installed).
