Describe the bug

1.20 CLI does not work, 1.19 works just fine

[mxschmitt]

Could you try rebuilding your project?

[Mertsch]

@mxschmitt I am pretty sure I did, but indeed it fixed the issue. Or reinstalling the package (as I reverted to 1.19).

Same issue here.

@304NotModified does a rebuild work for you?

[304NotModified]

Wont help. Tried that indeed.

[304NotModified]

This is with windows and .net 5 by the way

[mxschmitt]

what about dotnet clean and then dotnet build?

[chriswelles]

Same problem here. dotnet clean and then dotnetbuild did not resolve it. Tried touching the files as referenced in #2069, but that doesn't resolve things either. Using .NET 6 on windows with latest VS 2022. I've rolled back to 1.19.1 for the time being.

This was a few days ago, and unfortunately, I'm not actually sure that it was showing the ./innerCli error or not at the end. There was a null exception of some sort trying to complete the Playwright.CreateAsync() call.

[mxschmitt]

(We'll publish a new version with a fix later today)

[304NotModified]

@mxschmitt
It the fix already live? What is the version? I cant find it!

[304NotModified]

Is this fixed in 1.20.2?

[mxschmitt]

@304NotModified yes it should be fixed.
