@mxschmitt For Raspberry PI there is aarch64 which is the new unstable version and armhf which is the older, curious to know which architectures are the part of this issue ?

I'll close this as not a goal for now.

I would love to see this! Have a PI I want to delegate some browser testing stuff to.

I made a Dockerfile to install playwright-python on Raspberry pi (chrome only).

I am very interested in this 👍

Is there a way to get it working for webkit as well since you were able to get it working with Chromium? @YNedderhoff also appears to be interested in this (microsoft/playwright-java#399)

I'm running raspbian on a raspberry pi 4b and changed the path playwright looks for chromium to the default chromium web browser that is included with raspbian. Playwright still expects to find chrome in /chromium-901522/chrome-linux so I just added those directories and moved all the files into the chrome-linux directory so the path looks like /usr/lib/chromium/chromium-901522/chrome-linux. You will also have to rename the file "chromium" to "chrome". Then I just use PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=/usr/lib/chromium node yourapphere.js. I imagine you could just copy the included chromium files somewhere else too as changing the directories makes it so the web browser no longer points to chromium.

For the record: Playwright v1.17+ supports Raspberry PI with arm - see 1.17 release notes
