With 19.3.1 docker image its asking to install chrome

[aliasgerkw]

Describe the bug
Hello,

I pulled latest docker image locally docker pull ghcr.io/marketsquare/robotframework-browser/rfbrowser-stable:19.3.1 and executed my own requirement txt (having only few differences from default)

After doing rfbrowser init when I am triggering pabot command getting error

Error: browserType.launch: Chromium distribution 'chrome' is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome
Run "npx playwright install chrome"

To Reproduce

$ rfbrowser init
======================================================================
Installing node dependencies...
Installing rfbrowser node dependencies at /home/pwuser/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/Browser/wrapper
npm warn config production Use `--omit=dev` instead.

Installing browser binaries to /ms-playwright
npx --quiet playwright install
rfbrowser init completed

and run pabot command
pabot --processes 10 --pabotlib tests

Expected behavior
Suite should start on chrome browser with default configs, I assume this docker is equipped with all playwright browser dependencies and should not require any new installations.

Installation directory /home/pwuser/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/Browser/wrapper does not contain the required files for. unknown reason. Investigate the npm output and fix possible problems.

Getting further more errors while running requirements.txt with desired libraries

Trying this with 19.1.2 version also sometimes throwing

Error: browserType.launch: Chromium distribution 'chrome' is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome
Run "npx playwright install chrome"

I can see rfbrowser clean-node and rfbrowser init executed properly

I can not reproduce the issue.
When I do:

docker pull marketsquare/robotframework-browser:19.3.1

and then do:

docker run -v ./atest/:/test  -t marketsquare/robotframework-browser:19.3.1 bash -c "robot --outputdir /test/output /test"

from https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframework-browser/tree/main/docker folder all works.

Thanks @aaltat for the response
Did you tried pabot command?

[aliasgerkw]

@aaltat I am still facing this with pabot command

I did a docker pull for 19.4 version
I am already doing npx playwright install-deps before running pip3 install -q -r requirements.txt

TC_001:       | FAIL |
17:28:50  Parent suite setup failed:
17:28:50  Error: browserType.launch: Chromium distribution 'chrome' is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome
17:28:50  Run "npx playwright install chrome"

Do I need to explicitly install after requirement txt and rfbrowser init?

If you are using Browser library docker image https://hub.docker.com/r/marketsquare/robotframework-browser/tags?page=1&ordering=last_updated then you don’t need to install Browser library dependencies, they are installed. If you are using some other image then you need to install it yourself.
