Hey Playwright creators! 👋 I'm running into a frustrating issue with Playwright and Chromium, and I could really use some help. Here's what's going on: The Error:

Error processing batch: 
"errorName": "BrowserLaunchError",
"errorMessage": "Failed to launch browser. Please check the following:
- Try installing the required dependencies by running `npx playwright install --with-deps` (https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers).

The original error is available in the `cause` property. Below is the error received when trying to launch a browser:

browserType.launchPersistentContext: Executable doesn't exist at /home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1117/chrome-linux/chrome

The Situation: - Playwright is looking for Chromium in

/home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1117/chrome-linux/chrome

- But I actually have Chromium installed at

/home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1140/chrome-linux/chrome

My Question: How the hell can I specify which Chromium version Playwright should use? 🤔 I don't want to specify this in ENV since I want it to work out of the box and use playwright version that it install Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out over here! 😫 Thanks in advance!

Hey, running

npx playwright install --with-deps

should fix this - it will install the correct version of chrome that playwright expects. You may also try to update your

playwright

dependency,

chromium-1117

is pretty old, the latest playwright [uses](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/packages/playwright-core/browsers.json)

chromium-1142

@ondro_k I cannot run this command since I’m running it on AWS EC2 -> elasticbeanstalk which use Fedora underneath Playwright support only Ubuntu (—with-deps will run apt command underneath - Ubuntu package manager) Fedora (therefore Amazon Linux 2, uses yum as package manager) I already installed in other script all packages that are installed with —with-deps flag)

aaah, I see. Can you try to run

npx playwright install

(without

--with-deps

)? I tested it on my Fedora and it worked. It still uses ubuntu binaries but it should work fine even on Fedora:

BEWARE: your OS is not officially supported by Playwright; downloading fallback build for ubuntu20.04-x64.

But I don’t have issue with installing chromium I have problem that playwright is looking for directory called chromium-1117 (I develop on windows machine and npx plawright install chromium —with-deps download chromium-1117 - I guess it’s the newest version for windows) And when I run npx playwright install chromium on Linux it will download the newest one for Linux which is chromium-1140 So this is my issue that my playwright code is looking for chromium version that is the newest on windows and not Linux

just to make sure...is your

package.json

and

package-lock.json

same on both machines?

Of course… why? @ondro_k

it looks like you're using different playwright versions...if you run

npx playwright --version

, do you get the same versions on both machines?
