[Bug]: playwright.config.ts - updateSnapshots: "missing" will always make the test fail, when there is no existing snapshot

[radekcols]

Version

1.44.1

Steps to reproduce

1. have some test with toHaveScreenshot() method
2. delete the current snapshot (if there is any)
   3 . in playwright.config.ts file have updateSnapshots set to "missing"
3. the test from point 1 will fail. the new snapshot will be created, though and next run will be successful

Expected behavior

new snapshot should be created and the test should pass

Actual behavior

the test will always fail.

Additional context

pls note, that if we set updateSnapshots to 'all', the new snapshot will be also created, but the test will pass.
