playwright-java inside Docker RuntimeException: Failed to create driver

When using playwright-java https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-java
in Java/Spring

  @PostConstruct
  void init(){
    LOGGER.info("Initializinig Playwright with Chromium ...");
    Playwright playwright = Playwright.create();
    browser = playwright.chromium().launch(); // Page.pdf only supported in headless Chromium
  }

I get Exception (See log below). I understand that I need to find a way to look inside running container temp .sh file, I would expect Java app using playwright-java running inside microsoft.com/playwright/java container (of the same v1.35.0) should just work.

    The problem was because I was trying to run linux/amd64 images on M1 mac (Apple MacBook with ARM-based Apple Silicon).

    Once switchedc to run everything as ARM architecture: linux/arm64, the problem went away. The exact cause is unclear, but most likely pure JDK issue.

    Some hints for using docker images:

    Having envvar DEBUG=pw:install gives more Playwright logging related to browser install and connection.

    ARG BASE_IMAGE_ARCH=amd64
FROM mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/java:v1.35.0-jammy-${BASE_IMAGE_ARCH}

...

ENV PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=true
ENV DEBUG=pw:install

    With such Dockerfile it is still easy to try both arm64 and amd64

    please refer to this framework: https://github.com/susnigdha1/PlaywrightTestAutomationFramework, I have added example of how to use Springboot, Cucumber, Junit5, Maven and Docker.
