Doesn't work with playwright 1.31 and lighthouse 9

[grybykm]

I'm no longer able to run lighthouse because of: Cannot create new tab, and no tabs already open. since I've upgraded the playwright to v1.31. I'm still using lighthouse v9.

Maybe it is somehow related to chromium update or https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/issues/14736. I haven't tried switching to lighthouse v10 because after upgrading the lighthouse I'm getting:

    import log from 'lighthouse-logger';
    ^^^^^^

    SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Did anyone manage to upgrade to the latest playwright version and keep their lighthouse tests running?

I have the same issue

There are two ways to deal with this one:

• build a wrapper package around lighthouse and playwright-lighthouse to convert these packages from type module to normal ones. I have actually built one but decided to choose another
• upgrade the project to use type module

First, I built and published to npm a wrapper as a workaround but decided not to proceed further with it.

Finally, I've chosen the second option even though I had to change ALL the files in my project as far as it is more feature oriented.
