I have an automated test suite at my workplace for an Electron application, and I try to run the tests, but the test runner unexpectedly stops and gives me this error:

Error: worker process exited unexpectedly (code=7, signal=null)

node:internal/test_runner/harness:35
      throw err;
      ^

Error: Process failed to launch!

Node.js v18.14.0

I have searched everywhere on the internet on this error. Does anyone else encounter this?

I tried to run the tests and expected them to run and not fail.

I reinstalled the playwright packages from NPM several times.

I removed the entries in the package.json and package-lock.json and reinstalled the packages from NPM.
