[Question]: Codegen Timeout In Playwright Version 1.20.1 , Net6.0

[yangbocheng]

Your question

I have a question about codegen, when i use "pwsh .\playwright.ps1 codegen" or "playwright codegen" , allways failed because of Timeout in Version 1.20.1

I don't know how to deal with it.
//here is info
But if run codegen with playwright - 1.17.3 , chorme will start and record operation correctly after 10s.
And if i test playwright in c#code, then chorme auto start correctly both in version 1.17.3 and 1.20.1

await using var browser = await playwright.Chromium.LaunchAsync(new BrowserTypeLaunchOptions
{
      Headless = false,
});
//other codes....

Hey! This timeout is very weird, which Windows version are you using? Could you try reproducing it in version 1.20.2? (contains a bunch of bug fixes)

[yangbocheng]

windows setting:
Windows10 Professional
version 1909

i have test codegen with PlayWright 1.20.2, but it's the same as version 1.20.1

actually，when i test codege with version 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, i have seen a white area show in top-right desktop after about 12 seconds ( i konw it should be the record-window), But after about 5 seconds, the white area disappeared. then after about 6 seconds, i can see the timeout problem in Powershell

Setting the following environment variables might yield to more errors/warnings: DEBUG=pw:browser,pw:api,pw:protocol.

Does normal Playwright as a library work for you?

[yangbocheng]

hello, normal Playwright as a library run well when in Visual Studio.

And Here is logs of codegen in powershell

I'll fold this one into a meta bug #13631.

@yangbocheng does it work for you if you start it with Administrator rights?

[yangbocheng]

@mxschmitt thanks, but now everything just run well. I have test version 1.20.2 again and version 1.21.0 with Net 5.0 and Net 6.0 , the codegen just start quickly well(i don't konw why) .
If I can reproduce the problem, I'll report back

Thanks for your work, the version 1.21.0 is really good,
