I want to install Playwright in Dataiku

Hello Dataiku community,

I'm trying to use Playwright in a Python code environment on Dataiku DSS.
I added playwright to the "Packages to install" section of my environment, and it installs correctly.

However, when I run my code, I get the following error:

rustCopierModifierBrowserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at ~/.cache/ms-playwright/...Please run 'playwright install'

I know that on a local setup (like VS Code), after doing pip install playwright, you also need to run playwright install once to download the actual browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit).

How can I run playwright install inside a Dataiku code environment?

• I tried using the Resource initialization script, but it's interpreted as Python, not shell.
• I also tried launching it via subprocess.run(...) in Python, but it fails silently or due to permissions.

Thanks in advance!

Please note the Windows version of Dataiku is provided for testing purposes and not all features may work. I would suggest to use Selenium which is known to work under Dataiku and can control Chrome via the Chrome Driver:

Actually, i managed to make it work with subprocess. You can write it on your ressources in order to have playwright.

import subprocess
import sys

subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "playwright", "install"])
