Playwright not finding the browsers binaries

[ironicnet]

Hello team, currently we are running backstopjs with playwright.

We are running into a situation where the backstopjs is looking for some browsers binaries with a specific version. Meanwhile the playwright install is installing a different set of binaries.

Is there a way to sync them? This is almost how it looks in the pipeline: $ npx playwright install --with-deps

Chromium 109.0.5414.46 (playwright build v1041) downloaded to /builds//node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/chromium-1041 FFMPEG playwright build v1008 downloaded to /builds//node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/ffmpeg-1008 Firefox 107.0 (playwright build v1369) downloaded to /builds//node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/firefox-1369 Webkit 16.4 (playwright build v1751) downloaded to /builds//node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/webkit-1751

$ backstop test --config backstop.config.js

BackstopJS v6.1.0 Loading config: /builds//backstop.config.js COMMAND | Executing core for "test" createBitmaps | Selected 51 of 51 scenarios. Creating Browser No Playwright browser specified, assuming Chromium. COMMAND | Command "test" ended with an error after [0.072s] COMMAND | browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at /builds//node_modules/backstopjs/node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/chromium-1005/chrome-linux/chrome

Any idea how we can tell Playwright and BackstopJs which versions to use?

I think you can specify the executablePath inside engineOptions. This is what I have:

"engineOptions": {
        "executablePath": ".\\node_modules\\chromium-binaries\\src\\binaries\\chrome-win\\chrome.exe",
        "args": ["--ignore-certificate-errors", "--no-sandbox"]
 }

This was happening for me as well and I used this command to fix it: npx playwright install chromium or npx playwright install firefox - then backstop test worked
