[Bug]: playwright install is broken when installing 1.51.0 from microsoft conda channel #2791
Description
Version
1.51.0
Steps to reproduce
I personally prefer to use
pixi, but have verified the behavior is consistent on other conda-compatible environment managers, e.g.micromamba.
Example steps
- Install
pixihttps://pixi.sh/latest/#installation - In an empty directory, run:
$ pixi init
$ pixi project channel add --prepend microsoft
$ pixi add microsoft:playwright- The
pixi.tomlmanifest file now reads:
$ cat pixi.toml
[project]
authors = ["Charles Stern <62192187+cisaacstern@users.noreply.github.com>"]
channels = ["microsoft", "conda-forge"]
name = "scratch"
platforms = ["osx-arm64"]
version = "0.1.0"
[tasks]
[dependencies]
playwright = ">=1.51.0,<2"- The
playwrightpython package is importable without error
$ pixi run python3 -c "import playwright"- But
playwright installis not runnable, throwing:
$ pixi run playwright install
Traceback (most recent call last):

version = "0.1.0"
[tasks]
[dependencies]
playwright = "<1.51.0"- ...resolves this issue, allowing us to run the following command without error
$ pixi run playwright installExpected behavior
I would expect playwright install to be runnable without error when installing the latest playwright via the microsoft conda channel.
Actual behavior
playwright install is not runnable for the latest release on the microsoft conda channel, seemingly due to a lack of packaging the nodejs dependency.
Additional context
One possibility to protect against regressions on the fix might be to include playwright install in the test commands here:
Lines 41 to 42 in 256635b
I am happy to contribute a fix if someone can point me in the right direction. TBH, it's a little confusing to me why this might be the case, given that the meta.yaml recipe does not seem to have changed too recently.
Thank you all for your support, I love working with playwright!
