[Bug]: Playwright Test: Electron Apps - errors on Run Test mode

[midleman]

Version

1.48.1

Steps to reproduce

Requirements: must have Playwright Test vscode plugin installed.

1. Clone my repo at: https://github.com/midleman/play-button-repro
2. Run yarn
3. Run test via command line: npx playwright test
4. Verify test runs without error - PASS
5. Click on Tests Explorer > Debug Test button
6. Verify test runs without error - PASS
7. Click on Tests Explorer > Run Test button

8. Verify test runs without error - FAIL, electron is unable to launch

   Error: Process failed to launch!
   
   Error: electron.launch: Process failed to launch!

Expected behavior

For electron apps, I should be able to launch/run tests via any of the following options:

• command line
• run test mode (playwright test plugin)
• debug test mode (playwright test plugin)

Actual behavior

I'm unable to run tests with Run Test play button for Electron apps specifically.

Additional context
