[BUG] Unable to run playwright scripts on Jenkins

[gauravgandhi1315]

Context:

• Playwright Version: [what Playwright version do you use?] - 1.19.0
• Operating System: [e.g. Windows, Linux or Mac] - Mac
• Node.js version: [e.g. 12.22, 14.6] - 12.22.0
• Browser: [e.g. All, Chromium, Firefox, WebKit] - Chromium
• Extra: [any specific details about your environment] - It runs fine locally

const { test } = require('@playwright/test');
const { SimResults } = require('../selectors/simulationResults');
const playwright = require('playwright');

test.describe('Output Edit', () => {
  test('Simulations page', async ({ page }) => {
    for (const browserType of ['chromium', 'firefox', 'webkit']) {
      const browser = await playwright['chromium'].launch();
      const context = await browser.newContext();
      const page = await context.newPage();
      await page.goto('https://www.google.com');
      await page.click(SimResults.SimResultPage.simPage(2));
    }
  });
});

Describe the bug I have playwright_download_host=https://.../repository/playwright-raw-proxy in .npmrc file and downloading is working fine.

This might be a duplicate of #12075. Firefox would not launch using the Docker image. It was fixed in 1.19.1.

The problem was that for Firefox there is now an extra dependency needed,

[gauravgandhi1315]

@daddyman Im running on chromium and not using Docket image. Locally it runs fine on chromium but on Jenkins. it is not running and i see browserType.launch: without any error

[daddyman]

@gauravgandhi1315 If you use 1.19.1 does it fix it?

[gauravgandhi1315]

Im using 1.19.0

[gauravgandhi1315]

let me try with 1.19.1

[gauravgandhi1315]

@daddyman Same error with 1.19.1

[gauravgandhi1315]

I have tried to add executablePath as PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=/jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/*but getting this error

browserType.launch: Failed to launch: Error: spawn /jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/ EACCES

[dgozman]

Your Jenkins machine is missing some dependencies. The error message has a suggestion of what you should add to your Jenkins pipeline before running Playwright:

Host system is missing a few dependencies to run browsers.
Please install them with the following command:

     sudo npx playwright install-deps

@dgozman It doesn't say that anymore after I added executablePath look at the last comment

[dgozman]

Well, I guess there is nothing at that PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH location? I strongly suggest to let Playwright handle the browsers path itself, and just install the dependencies with sudo npx playwright install-deps.

[gauravgandhi1315]

@daddyman Im running in enterprise jenkins and sudo npx playwright install-deps ask for password which I can't enter. Not sure how to handle it and Im using location of PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH where it was downloaded. Look below:

Playwright build of chromium v965416 downloaded to /jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-965416 Playwright build of ffmpeg v1007 downloaded to /jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/ffmpeg-1007 Playwright build of firefox v1316 downloaded to /jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/firefox-1316 Playwright build of webkit v1609 downloaded to /jenkins/.cache/ms-playwright/webkit-1609

I have been stuck with this issue for very long time. I would really appreciate if you can help me.

[dgozman]

But the original issue is with dependencies, not with the actual browsers. Browsers on linux do not work without dependencies installed.

Try running npx playwright install-deps without a sudo - perhaps you don't need sudo on your Jenkins machine?

Alternatively, run npx playwright install-deps --dry-run. This will print the dependencies that are required for Playwright browsers to run. You can then add them to your Jenkins machine/image by any other means you prefer, instead of running install-deps command.

I hope this helps!

[gauravgandhi1315]

@dgozman yes, originally I was getting npx playwright install-deps but then I added executablePath and Im seeing a different error now. Look below complete logs:
