An error is thrown:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:553
      throw e;
      ^

Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: Package subpath './lib/program' is not defined by "exports" in /[...]/node_modules/playwright-core/package.json

Node.js v20.6.1

Additional context

I have tested this both locally on macOS 14.3.1 and in CI (Ubuntu 20.04) - same result. If I run the same command using version 1.41.2 everything works.

[DRichter-r]

It seems there is a missing export in the playwright-core/package.json

I think adding the export "./lib/program": "./lib/cli/program.js" might fix this problem.

The fix will be a part of 1.42.1 patch release.
