<p dir="auto"><strong>Describe the bug</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">*<em>During <code class="notranslate">npx playwright test --config=playwright.config.ts --project=Chromium</code> this error occurs even after attempting to upgrade to latest alpha build with Merge <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/14638" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/microsoft/playwright/pull/14638/hovercard">PR 14638 fix: hide DeprecationWarning of fd-slicer</a></em></p>
<p dir="auto">Buffer() keeps being thrown, I have zeroed down on data-driven JSON file causing the issue, why, I don't know. If I remove the JSON file the errors go away. I do not have dupe playwright or playwright/test versions installed.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's not a super major issue, but it is spamming my test output</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Minimum Reproducible Github Repository:</h2>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://github.com/cameracode/qa-automation-playwright">qa-automation-playwright</a></p>
<p dir="auto">See <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/14065#" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/microsoft/playwright/issues/14065/hovercard">Bug: DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues</a></p>
<p dir="auto">It would be helpful include the SHA256 sum of the browsers that are downloaded. That would allow the checking to ensure that the proper binary was downloaded as expected.</p>
<p dir="auto">Additionally, this would aid in integration with other tools that may have download caches to prevent duplicated downloads.</p>
