Environment

Using Github ubuntu-latest machine

Same issue here. Looks like an issue with the packages.microsoft.com registry and not necessarily related to Playwright. Since Playwright is a Microsoft product here's to hoping they can escalate this issue internally.

Same issue here - we're running in Azure DevOps Pipelines and seeing this:

> npx playwright install --with-deps

Yeah, same issue here, my Build Pipeline is failing since I can't install playwright on GitHub Actions anymore.

You can apply the workaround mentioned here actions/runner-images#9733 (comment)

add this line before running playwright install sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list

run: |
  sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
  npx playwright install --with-deps

Edit: Seems fixed so the workaround shouldn't be needed anymore

The problem has disappeared for us.

This was a registry outage that is fixed now: microsoft/linux-package-repositories#130 (comment)

Closing as per above.
