Code Snippet

import { test } from '@playwright/test';

const testDomain = 'https://dev-playwright-debug.pantheonsite.io/';

test('Fix the login', async ({ page }, workerInfo) => {
  await page.goto(`${testDomain}user/login`);
  await page.locator('input[name="name"]').fill('administrator');
  await page.locator('input[name="pass"]').fill('password');
  await page.locator('input:has-text("Log in")').click();
  await page.locator('h1.page-title:has-text("administrator")');
  await page.goto(`${testDomain}admin/structure`, { "waitUntil": "networkidle"});
  await page.waitForSelector('h1.page-title:has-text("Structure")');
});

Describe the bug

When I run the test above using WebKit, it crashes with the following error:

    page.waitForSelector: Target closed

Chrome + Firefox work fine.

The test logs in to a standard Drupal 9 site as an administrator and navigates to an admin page, but Playwright/webkit crashes before the page can be loaded.

The test used in the site is the current release of Drupal 9 freshly installed with no modifications. The JS is limited to some basic jquery and the standard Drupal boilerplate. Logging in to this website in Safari normally on desktop or mobile works fine. More context in this Stack Overflow question

Yesterday, after updating all packages on ubuntu to the latest versions, I no longer get this problem; the webkit tests resolve normally as expected. Unfortunately, I’m not sure of which package was updated to fix the issue, but I’ll close this out as it seems to be OS-specific and the result of packages interfering with each other.

@dgozman Thanks.

First, I tried /home/anon/.cache/ms-playwright/webkit-1616/pw_run.sh:

1. Go to https://dev-playwright-debug.pantheonsite.io/user/login with “administrator” “password”.
2. After logging in, in the toolbar that appears at the top of the screen, click “Structure”.

The page immediately crashes with this error in the terminal:

Gdk-Message: 12:44:19.464: Error reading events from display: Broken pipe
Gdk-Message: 12:44:19.464: Error reading events from display: Broken pipe

I also tried npx playwright wk which produced the same result, although this didn’t print out any particular errors.

I should note I’m running Playwright on the latest release version of Windows 11 via WSL2/Ubuntu.
