File chooser API not working with electron

[ptc-aramachandra]

Using the following https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-filechooser to achieve handling of file chooser.

scenario: I have a browse button which will open a file chooser and i have to select a directory here.

As mentioned in the above API, I used this.page.waitForEvent('filechooser'), and it fails for me with a timeout saying not able to find the event page.waitForEvent: Timeout 30000ms exceeded while waiting for event "filechooser"

Any idea why this is not working ?

Looks like a dupe of #8278

Is there a solution for this ? Or is this a feature to include in the future ?

I don't think there's a solution; feel free to upvote the #8278 to get notified on the updates there!
