Playwright Browser Derivations for Nix

This repository contains Nix derivations for Playwright browsers in multiple versions. It allows you to use the specific browsers that Playwright needs, independent of your nixpkgs version.

Why Use This?

• Flexibility: Upgrade Playwright independently from nixpkgs, don't be held back or forced to move in either way.
• Compatibility: Maintain consistency with pinned Playwright versions in npm or Python dependencies.
• Always Up-to-Date: I will try to keep up with playwright releases.

How to Use

• As a recipe:

  browsers = callPackage nix-playwright-browsers.recipes.${system}.v1_47_0

• As an overlay:

  let
      pkgs = import nipkgs {
          inherit system;
          overlays = [ nix-playwright-browsers.overlays.${system}.default];
      }
  in
  pkgs.playwright-browsers_v1_47_0

• Use the packages directly:

  nix build github:voidus/nix-playwright-browsers#playwright-browsers_v1_47_0

Dev Notes

The playwright definitions were generated by running pkgs/development/python-modules/playwright/update.sh in nixpkgs and copying over pkgs/development/web/playwright. As such, v1.47.0 works well probably, but others might not.

I'm not sure if this is the best approach, but I'll be using this in two of my projects so I guess we'll find out.
