Cannot run CodeCeptJS - Playwright on a RedHat Server

[jbergeronjr]

What are you trying to achieve?

Running Codeceptjs with Playwright on a RedHat 8 server.

What do you get instead?

> codeceptjs run --plugins allure --grep "localtest"
/root/qa/node_modules/playwright-core/lib/server/recorder/javascript.js:181
      var  test= require("@playwright/test").test;var  expect${options.deviceName ? '= require("@playwright/test").expect${options.deviceName ? ';var  devices' : ''} = require("@playwright/test").devices' : ''};;
                                                                                                                                                 ^

I encountered the same and suspected that's from playwright yet codeceptjs.

[jbergeronjr]

I was thinking the same, I went ahead and posted in the the playwright repo as well. Works perfectly fine locally but as soon as its on a server no dice. Did you have any success running on a server Peter?

[kobenguyent]

This happens on my local unfortunately so i need to do some trick to make it work. 😄

[jbergeronjr]

If anyone else has an idea with this.. Folks at playwright think its a problem with Codecept
