[Bug]: Playwright test cases failing in Linux Alpine

Playwright version

master commit

Operating system

Linux

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Other information

Java -> openjdk11 OS -> Linux Alpine

What happened? / Describe the bug

No test case is running inside Linux Alpine Image. The error is thrown while creating Playwright object (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create(options)) . It looks like the Java process (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-java/blob/master/playwright/src/main/java/com/microsoft/playwright/impl/PlaywrightImpl.java#L40) is unable to find the node executable in Linux environment.

On further checking it was found that the UNIX executable was indeed present at the location. Is Java playwright incompatible with Alpine image?? [We have also disabled browser installation through playwright]

Code snippet to reproduce your bug

apk add maven
apk add openjdk11
apk add curl
pk add unzip
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk
mkdir /tmp/pw-java
Copy code base to /tmp/pw-java
cd /tmp/pw-java
./scripts/download_driver_for_all_platforms.sh
mvn install

Relevant log output

[ERROR] /tmp/playwright-java-17845343579725696111/playwright.sh: line 3: /tmp/playwright-java-17845343579725696111/node: not found

Can anyone state whether the above resolution makes sense ? Can we get an option for providing custom node.js path?

Did you try playwright.cli.dir that I mentioned above? It should give you what you want. Instead of having the driver extracted into a temp dir line /tmp/playwright-java-17487154887695204898 you’d extract/copy it manually into a directory, replace node.js with a binary that works on Alpine and leave js files intact.

Thanks a lot! This worked 😃
