Looks not like a Playwright bug and more a bug in playwright-sand4rt.

Since https://github.com/sand4rt/playwright-ct-web/blob/master/playwright-ct-web/cli.js#L17 is using a different CLI than https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/packages/playwright-ct-react/cli.js#L18.

(since component testing is experimental, things like this are not covered by SemVer, yet).

I recommend filing an issue here: https://github.com/sand4rt/playwright-ct-web

Indeed, this issue is present in @sand4rt/experimental-ct-web. @ErwanPiaut, could you transfer the issue to that repository?

I'm following Playwright's release cycle to prevent occurrences like this, but i'm currently unable to upgrade due to #30269. While this is the first time this has happened in a year, be aware that similar situations may arise in the future
