Will fix it and install your browsers as expected.
I am attempting to install Playwright but cannot get past the following error when trying to run a basic test:
Failed to launch chromium because executable doesn't exist at /Users/danawoodman/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-799411/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium
Try re-installing playwright with "npm install playwright"
Note: use DEBUG=pw:api environment variable and rerun to capture Playwright logs.

The file ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-799411/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium does not exist but this folder does ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-799411/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/Frameworks/Chromium\ Framework.framework. Not sure why it is looking in the wrong location?
I have ran yarn add playwright and the package appears to install successfully. I've also tried to manually run node node_modules/playwright/install.js which gives me:
Removing unused browser at /Users/danawoodman/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-799411
Downloading chromium v799411 - 118.1 Mb [====================] 100% 0.0s
I've also attempted to remove node_modules, yarn.lock and ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright to reset things to a clean state but nothing is working. I'm at a losss for what to do and Googling/searching issues doesn't get me anything useful.
I don't think there is anything particularly unique with my setup.
Is there a way to better troubleshoot why I can't get Playwright to work?
