Issue with updating dockerfile to use Microsoft.Playwright

I’ve tried everything I can think of from the docs and googling to update this Dockerfile to properly install Playwright when building, but I can’t seem to get playwright install to work. It may be due to my only intermediate knowledge of Docker.

Can anyone tell me what an updated Dockerfile would look like? I got past the battle of getting dotnet tool commands to work. There also seems to be an is sue with the tools path inside a Docker, but even when I got that fixed playwright install would still fail because I am building the project in a source image.

Current Dockerfile I am using with <PackageReference Include="PlaywrightSharp" Version="0.192.0" />

This Dockerfile works (and the same solution works with the release version of the CLI/LIB even though the below is using the previous). It still has to reference the playwright install via the full path because the playwright executable is not being put in the path when the global tool is installed.

You can also ignore the final RUN command, this is just something I had to do because of the interim copy and some permissions shenanigans caused by the security in my org’s k8s cluster.

I’m also having the same issue. Anyone managed to find a solution?
