Here is the definitive, consolidated guide for setting up Playwright on Arch Linux (WSL).
This summary skips the trial-and-error we just went through and provides the "Happy Path" to get everything working in one go.
📋 Prerequisites
- WSL 2 (Recommended).
- Proxy (Optional): If you are behind a proxy, remember to use
sudo -Eto preserve environment variables.
🚀 Step 1: System Prep & Node.js
First, ensure your package database is fresh (fixes 404 errors) and install Node.js.
# Update system and install Node.js/npm
# Use -E if you have https_proxy set in your shell
sudo -E pacman -Syu nodejs npm
📦 Step 2: Install System Dependencies (The Critical Step)
Do not use npx playwright install-deps (it fails on Arch). Instead, install these packages manually. This list includes all the X11, Graphics, and Network libraries required by Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.
sudo -E pacman -S --needed \
git \
nss \
nspr \
libdrm \
alsa-lib \
mesa \
gtk3 \
at-spi2-core \
pango \
cairo \
gdk-pixbuf2 \
libx11 \
libxcomposite \
libxdamage \
libxext \
libxfixes \
libxrandr \
libxcursor \
libxi \
libxrender \
libxcb \
freetype2 \
fontconfig \
ffmpeg
🛠️ Step 3: Initialize Playwright
Set up your project and download the browser binaries (these are separate from the system libs above).
# Create project directory
mkdir my-tests && cd my-tests
# Initialize (Select TypeScript/JavaScript as preferred)
npm init playwright@latest
# If prompted to "Install Playwright browsers", select True.
# If you need to install them manually later:
npx playwright install
✅ Step 4: Run Tests
You are now ready to run.
npx playwright test
💡 Troubleshooting Cheat Sheet
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
install-deps fails |
Ignore it. It only supports Ubuntu. Use the pacman command in Step 2. |
libxxx.so not found |
You are missing a package. Use pkgfile libxxx.so to find the Arch package name. |
| 404 Errors (Pacman) | Your mirrors are out of sync. Run sudo pacman -Syu to refresh. |
| Browser won't launch | Ensure nspr and nss are installed (included in Step 2). |
| GUI/Headless issues | If visual mode fails, try xvfb-run npx playwright test. |
