[Python] When running playwright in docker.Error:BrowserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist...

I created a Dockerfile with this content

FROM python:3.11-slim

# Install requirements
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget tar openjdk-17-jre
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install gcc libsnmp-dev iputils-ping -y \
&& pip install --upgrade pip \
&& apt-get -y install curl \
&& apt-get clean


# Install allure
RUN wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/releases/download/2.30.0/allure-2.30.0.tgz && \
tar -zxvf allure-2.30.0.tgz -C /opt/ && \
ln -s /opt/allure-2.30.0/bin/allure /usr/bin/allure && \
rm allure-2.30.0.tgz

# Create workdir
WORKDIR /usr/workspace

# Copy the dependencies file to the working directory
COPY ./requirements.txt /usr/workspace

# Install Python dependencies
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# Install playwright
RUN playwright install --with-deps chromium


and I use docker-compose to run it.

version: "3.7"

services:

image: tests:v1

context: .
dockerfile: Dockerfile

command: /bin/sh -c 'python3 -m pytest -v -m $MARKS --alluredir=./allure-results --node_id="$NODE_ID"'

everything runs locally without problems, but when it runs in CI on gitlab-runner, an error occurs

playwright._impl._errors.Error: BrowserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at /.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1134/chrome-linux/chrome


chromium is installed in the installation logs

Chromium 129.0.6668.29 (playwright build v1134) downloaded to /root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1134


I tried to install chromium in different ways, the result is the same, everything is fine locally, but when in gitlab-runner, there is always an error. Gitlab-runner itself is just a shell

RUN playwright install chromium
RUN playwright install --with-deps chromium
RUN playwright install-deps chromium
