[QUESTION] `failed to launch chromium` error while running `npx jest` within Dockerfile.bionic

Context: I am using this container https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/master/docs/docker/Dockerfile.bionic

After running the container, install all dependencies successfully, I have the following error:

Command used to run the container:

docker run -it --name playwright  -v "C:\myProject\web":/home mcr.microsoft.com/playwright bash

Command used to install project dependencies:

npm install 

Command to run tests:

npx jest 

Error:

root@f542143afa64:/home/e2e_tests# npm run test

catalogue-testing-framework-with-playwright@1.0.0 test /home/e2e_tests npx jest

Error: Failed to launch chromium because executable doesn't exist at /root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-827102/chrome-linux/chrome
Try re-installing playwright with "npm install playwright"
Note: use DEBUG=pw:api environment variable and rerun to capture Playwright logs.

Any idea to what is going wrong here? thx

@aslushnikov on a different note where would it be a good place to start a conversation around playwright and openlayers (https://openlayers.org/) testing? My team is building apps that are using openlayers as base for maps and build the application on top of that (layers). We would like to use some playwright APIs to interact with openlayers (e.g zoom in , draws polygons , select points etc.) I was able to do some very basic interaction using puppeteer using but not totally satisfied … however it seems harder with playwright… Do you guys have any suggestion/recommendation to tests map with playwright?

Hi @fasatrix I’m also interested in testing OpenLayers with Playwright. Did you achieve to draw a point and move it on the map with Playwright?

@fasatrix but actually let me try fixing our docker image…
