[BUG] Cannot launch compiled electron application

[jperl]

Context:

• Playwright Version: [email protected]
• Operating System: Mac
• Node.js version: v12.18.3
• Browser: Electron

Code Snippet

Throws error: Exception has occurred: TypeError: Cannot read property 'evaluateHandle' of undefined

const { electron } = require("playwright-electron");
(async () => {
  const app = await electron.launch(
    "/Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack"
  );
  await app.close();
})();

Works with spectron

const { Application } = require("spectron");

(async () => {
  const app = new Application({
    path: "/Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack",
  });
  await app.start();
  console.log("title", await app.client.getTitle());
  await app.stop();
})();

Describe the bug

It seems the issue is that _nodeElectronHandle never resolves causing the _onPage to throw an error.
