Summary

Playwright E2E tests fail because the frontend container is Alpine-based and doesn't support Playwright browsers out of the box.

Error

Error: browserType.launch: Failed to launch: Error: spawn /root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium_headless_shell-1208/chrome-headless-shell-linux64/chrome-headless-shell ENOENT

Root Cause

  • Alpine Linux uses musl libc instead of glibc
  • Playwright browsers require glibc
  • npx playwright install --with-deps tries to use apt-get (not available in Alpine)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Either switch to Debian-based Node image, OR
  • Install gcompat for glibc compatibility, OR
  • Run E2E tests outside container (on host)

Related

  • Quality gate requirement: E2E tests must pass
