This is correct error - added const in line 4:
If incorrect code removed error persist:
With hoover on error:
The problem disappears when navigating to Testing | TEST EXPLORER | Refresh Tests

Additional context
All plugins except the Playwright Extension were turned off. All updates have been applied.
Sometimes several actions on the code need to be executed to trigger this error. It occurs on multiple machines, both Windows and macOS.
This bug appeared in previous extension releases, but recently it has been occurring frequently.
Use of W11 virtual machine can be needed: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/33531#issuecomment-2471339282
