1.0.5 version doesn't work on Linux OS

[DmytroKryvoruchenko]

Which Umbraco.Community.Sustainability version are you using?

1.0.5

Which Umbraco version are you using? For example: 10.8.0 - don't just write v10

13.3.2

Bug summary

If I run Umbraco locally on Windows machine everything works fine, but when I run it on Azure (Linux container) I see that Umbraco can't start. In logs I see this issue:

2024-12-12T14:03:06.588709125Z Failed to install browsers
2024-12-12T14:03:06.588764928Z Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, mkdir '/home/site/wwwroot/\ms-playwright'
2024-12-12T14:03:06.664750747Z Unhandled exception. System.Exception: Playwright exited with code 1

2024-12-12T14:03:06.664809050Z at Umbraco.Cms.Core.DependencyInjection.UmbracoBuilderExtensions.AddComposers(IUmbracoBuilder builder)

Could you fix that?

Steps to reproduce

1. Install 1.0.5 package
2. Try to run Umbraco on Linux

Expected result / actual result

Expected result: Umbraco runs without issues
Actual result: issue on startup

Hey @DmytroKryvoruchenko! I've just started pushing v1.0.6 which has a hotfix in for this, should resolve your issue!

[DmytroKryvoruchenko]

Thank you @rickbutterfield, I will try it and let you know how it works.

[DmytroKryvoruchenko]

@rickbutterfield yes, now we can run it Azure web app on Linux, but some playwright dependencies are missing.

When I run sustainability in Umbraco I see following error:
{
"ExceptionMessage": "

}

Can you help me fix that?

UPD: I see that: Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) returns empty string.
ms-playwright is created in root folder and browsers are installed on Azure web app on linux.

I'm also running into this issue.

Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData does not exist on Linux, hence why it returns an empty string.
Perhaps it's possible to check for the current operating system and to set installation path based on that?

Hey @DmytroKryvoruchenko @GunsRoseSS please can you give v1.0.7 a try and see how things are working now? Thanks!

[DmytroKryvoruchenko]

hi @rickbutterfield thanks, I will try and provide you a feedback.

Hi all,

I don't think any form of code changes will fix this. The issue is that on Linux servers Playwright requires a pre-install before .NET can run a project that uses Playwright.NET. So the error will always occur before the code gets executed..
I never really found a good way to automate the Playwright install on a Linux App Service. I'm quite certain it's impossible to do in a pipeline and I'm not going to manually install Playwright every time we need to deploy.

Personally, we have managed to modify the package by having a private API run all of the Playwright/Co2.js stuff. Our Umbraco site only needs to make a call to our API and so we won't need to install Playwright anymore.

Perhaps not the cleanest solution, but we needed a quick fix.

Hi @rickbutterfield , still no luck, the same issue.

@GunsRoseSS Interesting, thanks for you inputs. Could your solution be put into a PR? I'm thinking that maybe a configuration could be added to use an external service like you did. Then this could be used in Linux hosting use-cases.
