Browser launch throwing error after upgrading to Node20 for AWS Lambda

[PrinceT078]

I upgraded my lambda to Node 20 and tried using playwright-aws-lambda but throws below error:

/tmp/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libnspr4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Anyone facing the same? Could it be linked to runtime error similar to https://github.com/JupiterOne/playwright-aws-lambda/issues/74

I got things working by swapping to sparticruz + playwright-core

const chromium = require('@sparticuz/chromium');
const { chromium: playwright } = require('playwright-core');

    // In your handler route...
    const browser = await playwright.launch({
      args: chromium.args,
      executablePath: await chromium.executablePath(),
      headless: chromium.headless,
      chromiumSandbox: false,
    });
    const context = await browser.newContext();

    const page = await context.newPage();
