browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at /home/runner/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1084/chrome-linux/chrome

I had to upgrade from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 to support Debian 12 here pass-culture/pass-culture-app-native#5550

However, I started to have this error :

browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at /home/runner/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1084/chrome-linux/chrome

I tried to add a step before with yarn playwright install :

yarn run v1.22.19
$ /home/runner/work/pass-culture-app-native/pass-culture-app-native/node_modules/.bin/playwright install
Done in 0.42s.

I expect yarn axe-storybook --build-dir $BUILD_DIR to pass.

Environment :

• GitHub action Image: ubuntu-22.04
• node: v18.18.2
• npm: 9.8.1
• yarn: 1.22.19

Do you have any clue ?

Oh, seems like Playwright requires a manual install of browsers now, which I forgot about 😬

@kopax-polyconseil, after adding a step for yarn playwright install what happens when you try running axe-storybook-testing, what happens? It's still broken?

Had the same problem... You need to execute npx playwright install before running the axe-storybook command for the first time. Should this maybe be reflected in the Readme?

Yes, definitely. I was waiting to make sure that fixed it for Kopax. But I'll go ahead and add it.

Here's where playwright's behavior changed, I think: microsoft/playwright#26672.

Also realized adding a dep on @playwright/browser-chromium will automatically install it. I'll add that + instructions on installing other browsers.

Should be fixed in v7.1.3, and I've added a note about installing browsers.

Thanks for the report, and let me know if you run into any other issues 🙏
