cannot run browser tool

[ibagur]

I have followed the instructions and installed gptme on macos 14.6.1 as per:

pipx install gptme[browser]
gptme '/shell playwright install chromium'

The default model used is claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 (latest). However when trying to run the example gptme 'find out which is the latest ActivityWatch version from superuserlabs.org', I get the following error:

WARNING:gptme.chat:Failed to read URL http://www....BrowserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist at /Users/inigo/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-1134/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

I checked the directory and apparently Chromium is installed, but there is a discrepancy in the directory path, as the installation is 1140 instead of 1134:

/Users/inigo/Library/Caches/ms-playwright/chromium-1140/...

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks!

UPDATE: I manually changed the directory name under .../ms-playwright/´from chromium-1140tochromium-1134` and now it's fine. A bit dirty but it worked.

Weird.

I get the error whenever updating playwright, but doing a playwright install with the right version of playwright fixes it. I thought gptme '/shell playwright install chromium' would always use the same playwright version as the one in the venv used by gptme, but I guess not?

Side-note: I'm kinda tired of Playwright, as its a bit overkill for most browsing, so I've investigated adding lynx support instead, which is a lot faster, cleaner output, and more lightweight (but less capable): #205

Glad you found a workaround!
