THis looks like a temporary issue of Playwright. Let's wait for them to release M1 support

[stordopoulos]

@DavertMik, I opened an issue on Playwright and @mxschmitt made this comment:

It seems like it's not an issue on Playwright side. When you create a project with npx create-codeceptjs . you get the following dependency @codeceptjs/ui which refers to Electron 7.2.4 so it installs a very old version of Electron which is around a year old. Back then Electron builds provided no separate M1 compilation target.

Indeed the reference in codeceptjs /ui /package.json points to "electron": "^7.2.4". Having said that, maybe using caret (^) is not the best way forward to Electron. Maybe using latest is preferable, since that's probably the version we want to work with anyway.
