Hi, how can I run playwright tests in azure pipelines? It keeps telling me that the browsers are not installed. I got this
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: New Manifest for tool
inputs:
command: custom
custom: 'new '
arguments: tool-manifest
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: Install Playwright CLI
inputs:
command: custom
custom: 'tool '
arguments: install Microsoft.Playwright.CLI
# task to build the projects
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: Run Playwright Install
inputs:
command: custom
custom: 'tool '
arguments: run playwright install
# then I use "dotnet test" to test my projects
the error message is this
Host system is missing dependencies to run browsers. ║
║ Please install them with the following command: ║

However, I'm missing a full example here as the path is not correct.
This thread is trying to answer question "How can I run Playwright tests in Azure Pipelines and resolve issues with missing browsers and incorrect paths?"
try to investigate this doc https://playwright.dev/dotnet/docs/ci#azure-pipelines
I think this documentation is wrong
- script: dotnet build --configuration Release
displayName: 'Build'
- script: pwsh bin/Debug/net6.0/playwright.ps1 install --with-deps
When we build with the Release configuration, the second path should be bin/Release
and not bin/Debug
. Also, bin/...
is not the root path. So it would be awesome to have a working example in the documentation as I'm struggling with the paths.
Fixed the paths, another error popping up

Failed to install browsers

Well yea. I cannot install the browsers on the agent because we need a project for getting the playwright.ps1 and the browser files. Kind of unlucky architecture here 🥹
