CodeceptJS 4.x: Test hangs for a few seconds before end

[mirao]

Only 4.x is affected. It doesn't matter if you use tsx or ts-node.
3.x works fine

config codecept.conf.ts:

export const config: CodeceptJS.MainConfig = {
  tests: "./*_test.ts",
  output: "./output",
  helpers: {
    Playwright: {
      browser: "chromium",
      url: "http://localhost",
      show: true
    }
  },
  name: "esm",
  require: ["tsx/esm"]
};

test

Feature("My");

const {I} = inject();

Scenario("test something",  () => {
    I.say("Hello World" );
});

Expected result:

• The test is fast

Actual result:

• The test hangs for 5 secs before the end
