Node dependencies not being found after updating playwright from 1.37 to 1.38

I went quickly through the changes, but couldnt find anything relevant.. https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/compare/release-1.37...release-1.38

You can try npm ls fs-extra to check if you've installed it correctly. Then try npm install fs-extra.

@apis3445 thanks for replying, npm ls fs-extra shows: "PS C:\DATA\git\g3-basics-demo-application\clients\test\playwright> npm ls fs-extra playwright@1.0.0 C:...\clients\test\playwright └── fs-extra@11.1.1"

and running "npm install fs-extra" doesn't help either 😦

Maybe it's somehow related to https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/26614 ? - it's the only issue I see related to node dependencies between 1.37 and 1.38

(I'm using node 18.2.0)

Try npm i @types/fs-extra since only the types are missing. We don't depend on this package.

@mxschmitt thanks for your reply, tried it, but still no luck 😦 Please also mind that:

1. I have a package.json file both in ...\clients\ and ...\clients\test\playwright\ folders (the latter being for the pw tests)
2. The only thing I'm doing is:

• npm install -D @playwright/test@1.38 -> it stops working (as in the image - node is looking for dependencies in the wrong folder upstream), then
• npm install -D @playwright/test@1.37.1 -> it works again ...

this is my "working" 1.37.1 package.json: `{ "name": "playwright", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "playwright": "npx playwright", "test": "npm run playwright test", "test:trace": "npm run test -- -- --trace=on & npm run test:report", "test:report": "npm run playwright show-report" }, "keywords": [], "author": "", "license": "ISC", "devDependencies": { "@playwright/test": "^1.37.1", "axios": "^1.2.1", "csv": "^6.1.0", "csv-parse": "^5.3.3" }, "dependencies": { "fs-extra": "^11.1.1", "lodash": "^4.17.21" } }

and this is the not working one, 1.38: { "name": "playwright", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "playwright": "npx playwright", "test": "npm run playwright test", "test:trace": "npm run test -- -- --trace=on & npm run test:report", "test:report": "npm run playwright show-report" }, "keywords": [], "author": "", "license": "ISC", "devDependencies": { "@playwright/test": "1.38", "axios": "^1.2.1", "csv": "^6.1.0", "csv-parse": "^5.3.3" }, "dependencies": { "fs-extra": "^11.1.1", "lodash": "^4.17.21" } } `

any ideas, anyone? 😦

we solved it, finally, there was another tsconfig file in the project messing with import paths

good thanks for share the solution
