Running basic test throws "Host system is missing dependencies"

[Waterstraal]

I followed the get started and have the following files:

foo.spec.ts

import { it, expect } from '@playwright/test';

it('is a basic test with the page', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://playwright.dev/');
  const name = await page.innerText('.home-navigation');
  expect(name).toBe('🎭 Playwright');
});

package.json

{
  "name": "e2e-playwright",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "npx folio --param screenshotOnFailure"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@playwright/test": "^0.152.0"
  }
}

Running npm run test throws the following error:

> npx folio --param screenshotOnFailure

    Note: use DEBUG=pw:api environment variable and rerun to capture Playwright logs.

Thanks, @waterstraal. While Chromium and WebKit are working for you, Firefox is missing system-level dependency. To fix this, you can install the Visual C++ redistributable package. We will explore bundling this dependency so it doesn't need to be manually configured. I'll open an issue on the Playwright repo and close this one. We can re-open if you have any issues.
