Problems with playwright in Docker

[Guerdal]

Describe the bug By launching a new project with the latest version published on March 31 at 2:22 PM, access to the model via ollama works fine. Devika gives me a plan to create the snake game code in python then tries to search the Internet with DuckDuckGo and at this point an error message appears in console :

devika-backend-engine-1  | Please use the Async API instead.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launcher devika in docker : docker compose up -d
2. Click on New Project
3. Select DuckDuckGo in WebSearch
4. Select an Ollama Model (Deppseekcoder for me)
5. Write 'Write a snake game in python'
6. Wait the process and See error

Expected behavior Devika use Chromium or Firefox to made searches

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux Mint 21.3
• Browser Firefox
• Version 124.0.1

@darcome @Guerdal

Can you replace in the devika.dockerfile

RUN playwright install --with-deps

to:

RUN playwright install
RUN playwright install-deps

and between:

USER nonroot
WORKDIR /home/nonroot/devika

add:

RUN playwright install

should looks like:

USER nonroot
RUN playwright install
WORKDIR /home/nonroot/devika

then run:

docker compose up --build

Please let me know if it works.

Hello I have already made this change in devika.dockerfile, I think the problem came with #24 and the use of socket.io. But maybe I'm wrong. And my lack of skills in python code can't help me to correct this :-)

[darcome]

I am running devika without docker and I have run those commands manually but it didn't solve the problem.

Let me know if you want me to run some commands to give you some logs or info

So current has the async playwright so it is working but not sure about docker file. I'll update when we have perfect docker files
