This error is not specific to test, as getting same error for all the tests.
How do we resolve the issue?

@udit0802 stable channel hasn't been released on Linux yet; you can use msedge-dev and msedge-beta instead.

Sure will try out, which one would be more preferable dev or beta?

I have tried out with msedge-beta but facing the following error :

browserType.launch: Chromium distribution 'msedge-beta' is not found at /opt/microsoft/msedge-beta/msedge
Run "npx playwright install msedge-beta"

I've tried both of your suggestions but no resolution. Any other options?
