GH Actions: playwright.sh and node: Permission denied

Repro step:

1. Step a Python project on GitHub using GH Actions to install playwright-python on the CI machine
2. While running python -m playwright install, you might see

I can only install playwright drive by using this workaround:

sudo chmod +x /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.9.2/x64/lib/python3.9/site-packages/playwright-1.9.2-py3.9-linux-x86_64.egg/playwright/driver/playwright.sh
python -m playwright install

In addition, after working around this issue, I also found another issue where no permission for node:

It is permission issue due to the use of sudo Try this config:

name: 'Python package: Scylla'

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      max-parallel: 2
      matrix:
        python-version: [ 3.9 ]

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: microsoft/playwright-github-action@v1
    - name: Set up Python ${{ matrix.python-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      with:
        python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: |

        sudo apt-get install libgnutls28-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev -y
        pip install -r tests/requirements-test.txt
        pip install -e.
        python -m playwright install
    - name: Lint with flake8

@kumaraditya303 Thanks a lot!

It works!

Could you share the location of playwright.sh? I couldn’t find it but would like to take a look.
