[Question] npx playwright install necessary with docker images?

See original GitHub issue

I’m attempting to speed up my circleci runs and am using the playwright focal images. If I don’t perform a npx playwright install step, the run will fail. Here’s a recent example

CircleCI Config: https://github.com/nasa/openmct/commit/c56fe6d8f34191e7de45db75e14459344adbd5d4

The circleci config’s playwright base image version matches the package.json playwright/test version of 1.21.1

I’m closing this bug as there is nothing else we can do on our end. I’ve sent a PR to the Rercy repo so they should be aware of the issue.
