[BUG] Unable to install chrome in the npx playwright install chrome step when building Dockerfile

Context:

• Playwright Version: 1.15.2
• Operating System: Windows
• Browser: Chromium
• Extra: Dockerfile build

@BeforeAll
    void launchBrowser() {
        playwright = Playwright.create();
        browserIncognitoModeHeadless = playwright.chromium().launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setChannel("chrome").setHeadless(true).setArgs(Arrays.asList("--disable-dev-shm-usage")));

Error { tests_run_playwright | message='Chromium distribution ‘chrome’ is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome tests_run_playwright | Run “npx playwright install chrome” tests_run_playwright | name='Error tests_run_playwright | stack='Error: Chromium distribution ‘chrome’ is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome tests_run_playwright | Run “npx playwright install chrome”

2. If add command 'npx playwright install chrome' in docker - I get an error:

yes, it worked, thanks a lot

it is not installing the chrome even with escalated rights:

This is a different problem (not docker) please open a new issue for that. It may be failing if you are behind a firewall, see this docs.
