Can we launch web firefox. For me it is laynching the nighty

[arjaiswa]

How to launch web firefox in windows container?

[aslushnikov]

We don't have much experience with windows containers; maybe someone from community can help? So far I'll mark this as P3. Please upvote the issue so that we can see how many people are affected!

[puagarwa]

https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/14792 could be related issue.

[mxschmitt]

I can sometimes repro with this repo: https://github.com/mxschmitt/playwright-windows-containers# Logs: https://gist.github.com/mxschmitt/a0b5a6b70a42530c6cbabd8ada57d612 version: 1.25

Page.setInitScripts does not resolve.

[aslushnikov]

For the record: we didn't manage to reproduce with the mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022 as the base image.

[pavelfeldman]

This should not be moved beyond 1.26

[mxschmitt]

For me this looks like a bug in the Windows Docker container image. If you do something as simple as New-Item C:\foo.txt -ItemType file before running Playwright with Firefox it works as expected.

@arjaiswa can you try the Windows Server images?

mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022

Yes, mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022 is working.

[arjaiswa]

Sure . I will test this .

Closing for now since it seems like the pure Windows image seems misbehaving, with mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022 it works as intended.

[mxschmitt]

Reopening to keep the investigation going.

See for the last repro here: https://github.com/mxschmitt/playwright-windows-containers

[pavelfeldman]

This works for me on Playwright v1.26

[dgozman]

For the record, running the following in PowerShell before starting Playwright seems to work around the issue:

#Start-Process -FilePath 'C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\ms-playwright\firefox-1352\firefox\firefox.exe' -ArgumentList '--headless --screenshot shot.png about:blank' -Wait

[dsladek]

I had same problem, and when I change image to mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:win10-21h1-preview it seems to be working now ;)
