First I run pnpm exec playwright install --with-deps which seems to install all browsers

But when I run the tests, I get a set of errors from Playwright saying it can't find Chrome, Webkit nor Firefox.

the errors all look like this, only the referenced browser and its path changes:

It seems like Playwright is looking at the wrong paths.

e.g For Chromium the install path is /home/runner/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium-1134, but it seems like Playwright is looking for it on the path /home/runner/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium_headless_shell-1161/chrome-linux/headless_shell

Any ideas on how to fix this?

btw: When running pnpm exec playwright install --with-deps this is logged in the Github Actions run: Switching to root user to install dependencies....
