Runtime of `ng new` on a GitHub CI Ubuntu machine increases from 2min to 41min

[JLHwung]

Command

new

Is this a regression?

• Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version

The previous version in which this bug was not present was

21.2.9

Description

Compared with @angular/cli@21.2.9, Babel's angular-cli e2e test, now runing @angular/cli@21.2.10, has increased from 2 min to 41 min. I think one of the bottleneck is yarn playwright install --with-deps which invokes apt and pulls many Ubuntu dependencies.

Currently Babel e2e test runs npx -p @angular/cli ng new --defaults ngx --package-manager yarn --skip-git --skip-install, are there an option to instruct @angular/cli to completely skip the playwright install?

Minimal Reproduction

Run npx -p @angular/cli ng new --defaults ngx --package-manager yarn --skip-git --skip-install on a GitHub CI Ubuntu machine

Exception or Error

N.A. But the task takes way longer than normal expected.

Can you try using —-skip-tests?

playwright is not part of a newly generated project. Is there another step being executed in the CI process?

[alan-agius4]

Looks like playwright is being installed as part of the e2e setup of babel.

https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/223072a9b2c64be54ab2d3e9911b676f2c32c318/scripts/integration-tests/e2e-angular-cli.sh#L34

Closing as this is not actionable

Thank you, here is the full e2e test: https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/223072a9b2c64be54ab2d3e9911b676f2c32c318/scripts/integration-tests/e2e-angular-cli.sh

So yarn playwright install --with-deps is indeed in the script. It is likely that it is not related to @angular/cli (It might be a coincident that our e2e test become time-consuming right after @angular/cli@21.2.10 was published yesterday. I will investigate.

[JLHwung]

Can confirm it is not related to @angular/cli update, sorry for the noise.
