I can't reproduce, for me it looks like this:

➜  1509 git:(master) ✗ npx playwright test --debug

Running 1 test using 1 worker
    1) [chromium] › feature-a.spec.ts:3:6 › get started link ─────────────────────────────────────────

    Test was interrupted.

    Error: page.goto: Test ended.
    Call log:

To open last HTML report run:

  npx playwright show-report

Do you interact with the Inspector by any chance or just run the command, wait a bit and then do command + c?

[Nav-2d]

Hi @mxschmitt - You don't need to interact with the inspector...just run the command and wait a bit and then do CTRL+C.
I see the same logs as you do but the browser and inspector is still present in the dock.

Also, I recently updated my mac to 15.0 so that could be an issue too.

[mxschmitt]

I cannot reproduce, I'm also on 15.0, waited also a couple of minutes - could you try to reproduce it on a fresh project via npm init playwright@latest? Which Terminal are you using? VSCode or normal one?

[Nav-2d]

Ok thanks Max. I will try to restart my mac (good old solution) and create a fresh project and update here later.

I am using VSCode terminal

Thanks @Nav-2d! Responding this to clear the unread flag from our triaging system. Once you post the update we will take a look!

[Nav-2d]

Works fine on a fresh project but still not working on my existing project. Tried re-installing node_modules and playwright browsers but no luck.

Oh well, I will keep debugging and will update here. Please feel free to close the issue and thanks for the help.
