[Bug]: Cannot choose files for <input type="file" /> when using remote browser

[lhfmartin]

Version

1.58.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone my repo: https://github.com/lhfmartin/lihkg-snapshot-viewer
2. git switch feature-use-docker-browser-for-tests
3. pnpm i
4. pnpm test
5. You should see that 3 tests fail with the error TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

The error happens on the Github Actions pipeline too: https://github.com/lhfmartin/lihkg-snapshot-viewer/actions/runs/22018054724/job/63622672363

Expected behavior

I expect that the error TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined will not be thrown

Actual behavior

The tests fail with the error TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined

Additional context

The error is due to f.path in

playwright/packages/playwright-core/src/client/elementHandle.ts

Line 292 in 0bd3717

const files = localDirectory ? (await platform.fs().promises.readdir(localDirectory, { withFileTypes: true, recursive: true })).filter(f => f.isFile()).map(f => platform.path().join(f.path, f.name)) : localPaths!;

The path attribute in the Dirent object is deprecated a few versions ago and is removed in node.js 24. It should be replaced with parentPath
