I've recently merged a change that should help address this. If you can, I'd ask you to test with the pre-release version https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Playwright/1.13.0-next-1. If not, what you can do, it manually copy the driver (.playwright folder inside the bin/debug/net5.0) to the publish folder.

I also had the same error Driver not found: /app/.playwright/node/linux/playwright.sh with version 1.12.0. I can confirm that this issue no longer occurs in my container with version 1.13.0-next-1.

@leehmanQQ thanks for validating! Closing this issue.

I am still getting this issue in 1.38.0, has there been a regression?
