I have been trying to start playing with playwright, and after I create a file and type in traminal.

npm init playwright@latest

type hopopa@C10953 tau-playwright % npm init playwright
Getting started with writing end-to-end tests with Playwright:
Initializing project in '.'
✔ Do you want to use TypeScript or JavaScript? · JavaScript
✔ Where to put your end-to-end tests? · tests
✔ Add a GitHub Actions workflow? (y/N) · false
✔ Install Playwright browsers (can be done manually via 'npx playwright install')? (Y/n) · true

Initializing NPM project (npm init -y)…
Wrote to /Users/opopa/Downloads/tau-playwright/package.json:

{
  "name": "tau-playwright",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

If I type the same command with sudo it works. BUT after I try to do anything like. create a folder in VS Code, ore even save what code i wrote, i have a perrmision error.

Unable to write file '/Users/opopa/Downloads/tau-playwright/tests/trello.spec.js' (NoPermissions (FileSystemError): Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/opopa/Downloads/tau-playwright/tests/trello.spec.js')

All the folders have read/write permissions, I think is a problem with playwright.

Can you please help me?

I first tried to delete vs code and installed it back, I checked the permissions of VS Code, but the problem is not with the VS code because if i try to save a normal html/ js/ py file it works. When I use playwright has a problem.
