Why such setup does not record anything for Trace Viewer Playwright?

Question

Why such setup does not record anything for Trace Viewer Playwright? I'm trying to record files for Playwright Trace Viewer but after running:

mvn exec:java -e -D exec.mainClass=com.microsoft.playwright.CLI -D exec.args="show-trace trace.zip"

trace is empty. Am I doing something wrong? This is an example test setup which I'm using:

public class TestSearchPage {

    static Playwright playwright;
    static Browser browser;

    BrowserContext context;

    @BeforeAll
    static void launchBrowser() {
        playwright = Playwright.create();
        browser = playwright.chromium().launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions()
                .setHeadless(false)
                .setSlowMo(500));
    }

    @AfterAll
    static void closeBrowser() {
        playwright.close();
    }

    @BeforeEach
    void createContextAndPage() {
        context = browser.newContext();
        context.tracing().start(new Tracing.StartOptions()
                .setScreenshots(true)
                .setSnapshots(true)
                .setSources(true)
        );

        //page = context.newPage();
    }

    @AfterEach
    void closeContext() {        
        context.tracing().stop(new Tracing.StopOptions()
                .setPath(Paths.get("trace.zip")));        
        context.close();
    }

    @Test
    void shouldSearch() throws InterruptedException {

        Page page = browser.newPage();
        SearchPage searchPage = new SearchPage(page);
        searchPage.navigate();
        ...      
    }
}

I made a mistake: instead of browser.newPage() should be

Page page = context.newPage();
