Code Snippet

Help us help you! Put down a short code snippet that illustrates your bug and
that we can run and debug locally. For example:

import {_electron as electron} from 'playwright';

let electronApp = await electron.launch({args: [process.cwd()]});

const appPath = await electronApp.evaluate(async ({app}) => app.getAppPath());
console.assert(
    appPath === process.cwd(),
    `appPath expect value: ${process.cwd()}, but got ${appPath}`
)

await electronApp.close()

Describe the bug
Calling app.getAppPath() return wrong path in playwrite context. Here is repo with reproduction: https://github.com/cawa-93/issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath

1. Clone and install dependencies npm ci
2. Run node e2e.spec.mjs

$ node ./e2e.spec.mjs
{
  'app.getAppPath()': 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects',
  cwd: 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects\\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath'
}
Assertion failed

On my machine the app.getAppPath() function is expected to return C:\Users\kozac\Dev\temp-projects\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath but it always return a one level highter: C:\Users\kozac\Dev\temp-projects

You can also run same in pure electron context by electron .

$ electron .

{
  'app.getAppPath()': 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects\\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath',
  cwd: 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects\\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath'
}

This is reproduced by setting the absolute or relative path to the directory in which the manifest resides.

electron.launch({args: [process.cwd()]});
// or
electron.launch({args: ['.']});

If you set the path directly to the index file, then everything works as expected

electron.launch({args: ['./index.cjs']});

$ node ./e2e.spec.mjs
{
  'app.getAppPath()': 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects\\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath',
  cwd: 'C:\\Users\\kozac\\Dev\\temp-projects\\issue-playwrite-electron-getAppPath'
}
