From 3c0b9fa2b183f648345cff1c010fdf7ffa653147 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: GitHub Actions Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2026 16:44:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve Playwright browser executable not found errors in CI MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Root causes: 1. Browser cache was restoring corrupted/stale binaries from previous runs 2. 30-minute timeout insufficient for fresh Playwright installation (10-15 min) plus Docker/health checks and test execution Changes: - Remove browser caching from all 3 browser jobs (chromium, firefox, webkit) - Increase timeout from 30 → 45 minutes for all jobs - Add diagnostic logging to browser install steps: * Install start/completion timestamps * Exit code verification * Cache directory inspection on failure * Browser executable verification using 'npx playwright test --list' Benefits: - Fresh browser installations guaranteed (no cache pollution) - 15-minute buffer prevents premature timeouts - Detailed diagnostics to catch future installation issues early - Consistent behavior across all browsers Technical notes: - Browser install with --with-deps takes 10-15 minutes per browser - GitHub Actions cache was causing more harm than benefit (stale binaries) - Sequential execution (1 shard per browser) combined with fresh installs ensures stable, reproducible CI behavior Expected outcome: - Firefox/WebKit failures from missing browser executables → resolved - Chrome timeout at 30 minutes → resolved with 45 minute buffer - Future installation issues → caught immediately via diagnostics Refs: #hofix/ci QA: YAML syntax validated, pre-commit hooks passed (12/12) --- .github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml | 96 +++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 69 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml b/.github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml index b37951fc..937ccbf8 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ jobs: if: | (github.event_name != 'workflow_dispatch') || (github.event.inputs.browser == 'chromium' || github.event.inputs.browser == 'all') - timeout-minutes: 30 + timeout-minutes: 45 env: CHARON_EMERGENCY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CHARON_EMERGENCY_TOKEN }} CHARON_EMERGENCY_SERVER_ENABLED: "true" @@ -200,15 +200,29 @@ jobs: - name: Install dependencies run: npm ci - - name: Cache Playwright browsers - id: playwright-cache - uses: actions/cache@cdf6c1fa76f9f475f3d7449005a359c84ca0f306 # v5 - with: - path: ~/.cache/ms-playwright - key: playwright-chromium-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }} - - name: Install & verify Playwright Chromium - run: npx playwright install --with-deps chromium + run: | + echo "⏳ Installing Playwright Chromium (with system dependencies)..." + echo "Start: $(date -u +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')" + npx playwright install --with-deps chromium + INSTALL_EXIT=$?
