[BUG] - Error: Failed to download chromium ETIMEDOUT, cannot install

Context:

Playwright Version: 1.8.0
Operating System: Linux
Node.js version: 14
Browser: Chromium
CI Platform: Azure DevOps
Location: UK

Apologies, this is unrelated to the Playwright codebase but wouldn’t know where to go otherwise, I’m running an NPM install to grab Chromium from within a bionic:playwright container using Azure DevOps and it’s returning a timeout when trying to download the executable.

Error: Failed to download chromium, caused by deasync@0.1.20 install /__w/1/s/investor-zone/node_modules/deasync Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 13.107.246.13:443

So this only seems to be occurring in an Azure Pipeline, Locally it’s fine.

The URL the pipeline would be trying to download from would be: https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/chromium/844399/chromium-linux.zip

This works fine locally. Browsing to the IP Address directly is what returns that message. However doing a nslookup on ‘https://playwright.azureedge.net’ with the IP you get back also comes back with the same error page.

I’m now thinking because of that this might be an networking issue out of Azure DevOps. I’m investigating this now. I will update this when I’ve run some tests on the build agents.

Same problem here trying to install the latest version (1.12.2) with NPM. yarn add playwright doesn’t work as well!

This is bad for new users, they will try to install playwright following the docs npm i -D playwright, and it will not work.

The error that I encounter was the following:

npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c node install.js
npm ERR! (node:22337) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to download chromium, caused by
npm ERR! Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 13.107.246.33:443
npm ERR!     at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1146:16)

Is this out of service since February?
