I had something similar. I didn't ghost them, I specifically called them and said I wasn't doing a day's worth of their work for free.
They wanted me to write a bunch of unit tests and other stuff. There was a list to do. It would have taken all weekend.
Mind you, this was to qualify to interview.
I told them I wasn't interested in working for free and said I'm terminating the interview process because of their ridiculous request.
