Hi Nicolas,

I found that trying to run on an older nodejs version caused this type of error, I had a similar issue when node 18.0 was the latest version and I was on node 16.0.

I don’t know what the officially supported nodejs versions are, and couldn’t find it on the playwright or Browser Library sites :disappointed:

As nodejs version 22.11 is the latest LTS version and 23.2 is the current version I’ll suggest updating to one of these and see if that resolves your issue.

Dave.

are you working for cooporate and you are running your tests on work computer

I know that it is a low probability root cause but who knows (maybe because yesterday i have seen due to IT policy that’s why ):

Could be proxy issue

i am seeing this line multiple time formatted in the same way. is it concatenated because when you did a copy paste ?

It might be due to a misconfiguration in your environment variables, likely in TEMP, TMP, or PATH

could you check please , paste this commands in your terminal and see :
echo %TEMP%
echo %TMP%
echo %PATH%
