It looks the environment variable DEBUG isn't being set correctly. I always forget how environment variables work in powershell. Maybe try it without the *? set DEBUG=pw:browser? You should see a bunch of logs starting with pw:browser.

Try it l like this:

$env:DEBUG="pw:browser"
node chrome.js

@JoelEinbinder I think your magic spell worked. Please see the below

I saw the same issue when I was using old version of playwright, it appears that version will crash if you are running tests in parallel (creating/closing pages/context in parallel)

[dgozman]

@Sonu5555 Unfortunately, the logs don't tell much. Perhaps, you could try running C:\Users\Sonu\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\chromium-854489\chrome-win\chrome.exe manually from the terminal, and typing the url yourself? I hope that it will crash in the same way. If so, you might get a crash stack in the terminal to paste here.

[Sonu5555]

@dgozman The browser has opened with the expected url. Below is the command used
C:\Users\Sonu\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\chromium-854489\chrome-win\chrome.exe https://letcode.in/

But how can i do the click function from the above code await page.click('a:has-text("Sign up")');

The Navigation failed because page crashed error means that the page process crashed. We tried running the script on our machine, but it does not crash, so the problem is most likely related to your setup. If you can trigger the crash (by launching the browser and clicking around manually) and give us a dump or stack trace, we'll be able to start looking at the cause. Otherwise, we don't have enough information to proceed.

To answer your question, just click normally with a mouse 😄

If clicking around does not trigger the crash, try launching similarly to Playwright (copied the command line from the log line above except for "--remote-debugging-pipe") and click more:

C:\Users\Sonu\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\chromium-854489\chrome-win\chrome.exe --disable-background-networking --enable-features=NetworkService,NetworkServiceInProcess --disable-background-timer-throttling --disable-backgrounding-occluded-windows --disable-breakpad --disable-client-side-phishing-detection --disable-component-extensions-with-background-pages --disable-default-apps --disable-dev-shm-usage --disable-extensions --disable-features=TranslateUI,BlinkGenPropertyTrees,ImprovedCookieControls,SameSiteByDefaultCookies,LazyFrameLoading --disable-hang-monitor --disable-ipc-flooding-protection --disable-popup-blocking --disable-prompt-on-repost --disable-renderer-backgrounding --disable-sync --force-color-profile=srgb --metrics-recording-only --no-first-run --enable-automation --password-store=basic --use-mock-keychain --user-data-dir=C:\Users\Sonu\AppData\Local\Temp\playwright_chromiumdev_profile-123456 --no-sandbox

@dgozman attached the video recording, no error while trying navigating manually

Unfortunately we can't act upon this unless we can repro locally. I have to close this.

@Sonu5555 if there's a script that we can run locally to repro this, please feel free to file a new issue!
