[Bug]: 'The parameter is incorrect' at System.ConsolePal.SetConsoleInputEncoding(Encoding enc)

[Adam Woods]

Version

1.42.0

Steps to reproduce

Install Rider version 2022.3.0
Install Rider version 2023.3.4
Within any project, Debug (Not run) a test with the following line of code
var playwright = await Playwright.CreateAsync();

Expected behavior

Playwright to initialise in both versions when run in debug mode.

Actual behavior

Playwright raises an exception but only in Rider 2023.3.4 when in debug mode,

Additional context

Exception thrown

System.IO.IOException: The parameter is incorrect.

Additional
We are unable to start any tests with a parameter is incorrect in StdIOTransport.cs:line 175. The issue seems to be encoding from the console. Although despite all Windows and Rider settings pointing to encoding that matches UTF-8 - we still seem to hit this. We can execute tests in run mode, but not in debug mode. There appears to be no obvious settings that have changed between Rider versions - but it is unclear where Playwright gets the encoding setting from. Out of 6 team members, only 1 can run in the latest Rider version.

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

Can you share a repro where it fails? @mxschmitt could it be related to the recent changes in the encoding?

Thanks @yury-s ,two files attached.

ExampleProject.zip
Sample project which is failing. NUnit 3 is targeted but the same happens for NUnit 4, so considered out of scope.

A recording showing me debug a test in newer and older versions of Rider at the same time. Might be helpful.

Cheers
