[Bug]: electron.launch: Process failed to launch on Bitbucket pipeline

[Aenardhil]

Version

1.41.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Push my repository with my .yml file with this content:
   `# Configuration for bitbucket pipeline testing

image: node:18.18.0

pipelines:
  default:
    - parallel:
        - step:
            name: Code test electron
            size: 2x
            script:
              - apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl libglib2.0-dev libnss3-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxss-dev libasound2-dev && apt-get clean 
              - cd electron-desktop
              - npm install
              - npm run electron:build
              - npm run test:debug:linux
            caches:
              - node
definitions:
  services:
    docker:
      memory: 7128`

test:debug:linux calls this: "test:debug:linux": "DEBUG=pw:browser npx playwright test", 

And the test:

import { ElectronApplication, _electron as electron } from 'playwright';
const { test, expect } = require('@playwright/test');

let electronApplication: ElectronApplication;

test.beforeAll(async () => {
	// set the CI environment variable to true
	process.env.CI = 'e2e';
});

test.beforeEach(async () => {
	try {
		electronApplication = await electron.launch({
			args: [ 'dist/main.js' ],
			env: {
				...process.env,
			} as any,
		});
	} catch (error) {
		// console.error('Error launching Electron application:', error);
	}

});

test('app should not be packaged', async () => {
	const isPackaged = await electronApplication.evaluate(async ({ app }) => {
		// This runs in Electrone's main process, parameter here is always
		// the result of the require('electron') in the main app script.
		return app.isPackaged;
	});
	expect(isPackaged).toBe(false);
});

test.afterEach(async () => {
	await electronApplication.close();
});

2. wait until de execution of the steps in the pipline are finished

Expected behavior

The test has to be passed.

Actual behavior

Try doing xvfb-run npm run test:debug:linux since Electron asks for an X server but there is none.

With this xvfb-run i got this new error instead:

With this xvfb-run i got this new error instead:

What exactly is not working?

Can you share complete reproduction, so that we could try it locally?
