Is it possible to launch playwright browser "headless:false" in a docker container.

[kunal0810]

I am running the playwright in a docker container where i am trying to take screenshot .
I tried to run the code locally it run fine. when i run it inside docker it is not running.
Argument i passed inside browser.launch() is "headless:false". as the website is not supporting headless browser.

There is no display in docker container so if you run headful browser you should use xvfb-run, something like xvfb-run node <your script>

the website is not supporting headless browser.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? You should be able to run it in headless mode (especially in a container) and take a screenshot just fine, if it doesn't work we should fix it. Btw, which browser is this?

You should check that issue #2609

export DISPLAY=:99
Xvfb $DISPLAY -screen 0 1920x1080x24 &

I'd also recommend using xvfb-run --auto-servernum to run command with a random display number:

xvfb-run --auto-servernum npm run test
