`@playwright/test: ^1.28.1` causes infinite delay on `npm install` with a message like `idealTree buildDeps`

[Bishwas-py]

Describe the bug

I created a sveltekit project, and while doing npm i the installation gets stuck infinitely. And whenever I removed @playwright/test: ^1.28.1 from package.json > devDependencies, it works well. ^1.25.0 version of @playwright/test works pretty well, but I believe ^1.28.1 has some issues.

Reproduction

Create a SvelteKit project

npm create svelte@latest new_sveltekit_project
✔ Which Svelte app template? › Skeleton project
✔ Add type checking with TypeScript? › Yes, using TypeScript syntax
✔ Add ESLint for code linting? … No / Yes
✔ Add Prettier for code formatting? … No / Yes
✔ Add Playwright for browser testing? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vitest for unit testing? … No / Yes

Install dependencies

npm install # this gets stuck

I doubt it's infinite, for 1.25, you might have the browser binaries cached already whereas for 1.28 they need to be downloaded along with the playwright package.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything we can do in create-svelte for it, if there's any issue it'd be in your package manager or playwright itself.
