timeout on beforeEach error?

I have a beforeEach step where I'm throwing an error. (literally throw new Error("nope")). However, the playwright runner doesn't fail the step immediately. Instead it waits and times out after 30seconds.

const { describe, beforeEach } = test;

describe("Given I am signed in as Barb, from YourCompany", () => {

    beforeEach(async ({ page, context, sa }) => {

        throw new Error("nope");```

How do I get Playwright to fail the test immediately?

```2) [webkit] › super-admin.test.js:20:13 › Given I am signed in as Barb, from YourCompany › When I create a club › Then I can see the club listed in the admin view page
