[Bug]: Browser test screenshots are not generated (even with `--headed`)

[zackijack]

What Happened

When adding a Browser test, no screenshots are generated, even when running with the --headed flag.

Expected: screenshots to appear under tests/Browser/Screenshots.

Actual: no screenshots are saved, and when I manually create tests/Browser/Screenshots, the directory is deleted after running ./vendor/bin/pest.

How to Reproduce

Reproduce on an existing Laravel project or from a fresh starter with nunomaduro/laravel-starter-kit

1. Install dependencies and set up Laravel as usual

• Install dependencies and set up Laravel as usual
• run: npx playwright install

2. Run the tests with Pest

• ./vendor/bin/pest; or
• sail pest

3. Observe:

• No screenshots are produced in tests/Browser/Screenshots.
• If the Screenshots folder existed beforehand, it gets removed after the run.
