page = await context.newPage();

await page.goto(GLOBAL_VARIABLES.baseURL);
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
await login(page, GLOBAL_VARIABLES.username, GLOBAL_VARIABLES.password);

});

// After all tests, close the page
test.afterAll(async () => {

//The user clicks on the "Create App" button to initiate the app creation process.
await page.locator("//span[normalize-space()=' Apps']").click();

@mitrananda This is a known issue. The workaround is to manually record/save video with the recordVideo api. Take a look at this guide, make sure to click the "Library" tab.

See also #14813 which has the same underlying cause.
