Headed Browser without having XServer running.

Hi all, I'm completely new to playwright. I'm trying to run a headed test to see the browser do its thing but I keep getting this error (image attached) and can't seem to figure out a solution. The test works fine when I make it headless: true or use that xvfb-run command but fails when headless: false.

This thread is trying to answer question "How can I run a headed test in playwright without XServer?"

You won’t be able to run tests in headed without xvfb. If your intention is to see what’s happening in browser, headless mode is fine, you could record a video or trace to see what’s happening in the tests in headless mode
