[BUG] Browsers will not start in GitLab pipeline

[radekBednarik]

Context:

• Playwright Version: 1.10.0
• Operating System: docker image mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:bionic
• Node.js version: as in the image
• Browser: [Chromium, Firefox]
• Extra:
  • Playwright is running using jest, jest-playwright and jest-playwright-preset

jest-playwright config

If there is something, I should do regarding CI or test runner setup, I am at loss what it is.

Pls help :)

@radekBednarik Is it mandatory to run in headless=false?
This error is due to headless mode.

In case of headless=true - I believe you won't have it.

[radekBednarik]

@hananmalka hi, well, according to their documenation, their docker images should have xvfb in and should handle headful mode. and secondly, in headless, I am getting a bunch of different errors, I do not want to get into right now

[mxschmitt]

Could you try using the following Docker image instead? mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.10.0-focal (soon we have it like that also updated in the docs) - it could solve the issue when the non-tagged variant is locally in the cache and oudated.

[radekBednarik]

Hello @mxschmitt , I tried running this image in headful and headless as well.

1. Headfull mode errors:

[aslushnikov]

Hey @radekBednarik,

I tried to repro this here: https://gitlab.com/aslushnikov/playwright-repro-for-6415/-/pipelines

However, the pipeline worked just fine - browsers all launched and printed their user agents. I didn't use jest-playwright though; should I? If I should, what would be the minimal test that fails for you?

[radekBednarik]

Hello @aslushnikov is it possible to pm you? The repo which I am trying to run on gitlab is private, since it was POC for for a 3rd party.
Otherwise i will need a bit of my off time to try to prepare something.
