[Bug]: `device.launchBrowser()` stops on `about:blank` when changing the page URL

Playwright version

1.12.2

Operating system

Linux

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chromium

Other information

• NodeJS v12.21.0

What happened? / Describe the bug

Using physical devices and ADB I want to use Playwright’s NodeJS API for browser automation.

I can get an AndroidDevice object and launch its browser using my script. But it stops here on a new page about:blank.

I use experimental Android API functions in my code, so maybe this is why I get this bug.

Code snippet to reproduce your bug

const { _android: android, chromium } = require("playwright");

(async () => {
    // get the list of all connected devices
    const devices = await android.devices();
    for(device of devices) {
        // in real example I start chromium remote debugging with the flag `--remote-debugging-port=${port}`, but for reading purposes I simplified the thing
        device.shell(`am start -n com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main`);
        // launch the browser to automate it afterwards
        const browser = await device.launchBrowser(); // from here, no more logging output, even using `console.log`
        const page = await browser.newPage(); // launches a new page stuck on `about:blank`
        
        await page.goto("https://google.com"); // not working

        await browser.close();
    }
})();
