On ubuntu bionic 1.4.2 works, but 1.5.0 and 1.5.2 I get this error:

/node_modules/playwright/lib/client/connection.js:138
            throw new Error(`Cannot find parent object ${parentGuid} to create ${guid}`);
            ^

Error: Cannot find parent object BrowserContext@cd1cd86f076f4a2719ebd1d3dd1a42cb to create Frame@61a33d06ce441dac1aa262f34707d3ec

I cannot test earlier versions on my mac since I updated to Big Sur.
