fix(test): import EventEmitter from 'events', not 'stream'#40872
Merged
Conversation
`EventEmitter` is the documented named export of `node:events`. It is not part of the documented public surface of `node:stream` — Node's CJS interop happens to expose it transitively, but strict ESM analyzers (e.g. Bun) reject the import as 'export not found'. Switching the import keeps behavior identical on Node and unblocks runtimes that perform strict ESM static analysis.

Summary
EventEmitteris the documented named export ofnode:events. It is not part of the documented public surface ofnode:stream— Node's CJS interop happens to expose it transitively (becausestream's prototype chain reachesEventEmitter), but strict ESM analyzers reject the import statically as 'export not found'.Switching
packages/playwright/src/runner/watchMode.tsto import from'events'keeps behavior identical on Node and lets strict-analysis runtimes load the test runner without choking on this import.
