Startup error with Firefox

[lune-stone]

I'm not sure of what changed to introduce this issue, and it may just be my own box.

Firefox started throwing this error on startup: "Gah. Your tab just crashed." The same code was working this last week.

Error: ErrorResponded(ErrorMessage { name: "Error", message: "Page closed", stack: "Error: Page closed\n    at FFSession.<anonymous> (/home/user/.cache/ms-playwright/playwright-rust/driver/package/lib/server/firefox/ffPage.js:97:31)\n    at Object.onceWrapper (events.js:420:28)\n    at FFSession.emit (events.js:314:20)\n    at /home/user/.cache/ms-playwright/playwright-rust/driver/package/lib/server/firefox/ffConnection.js:175:43" })

playwright-rust: 0.0.20
playwright binary: ms-playwright/firefox-1250
firefox: 89.0b6
os: arch linux

Chromium appears to work, but sadly is not an option for my use case.

I've tried deleting the playwright cache and re-downloading but the issue remains.

When I tried the dev branch it failed with Error: Arc(Serde(Error("missing field `utils`", line: 0, column: 0))).

I switched to java to see if the issue was present there as well. Using com.microsoft.playwright:playwright:1.11.0 which packages the same firefox-1250 I also get the same error:

Exception in thread "main" com.microsoft.playwright.PlaywrightException: Error {

Updating to 1.14.0/firefox-1281 or higher gets past the error. So it is likely this will be resolved when the dev branch gets merged.

master and dev branches are not compatible. The dev branch is in active development, so please use the one released as 0.0.20.

I want to know what it means firefox-1250 doesn't work with java client, please try here.

rm -r /tmp/build-playwright-rust ~/.cache/ms-playwright/playwright-rust/driver
git clone https://github.com/octaltree/playwright-rust
cd playwright-rust
make test

Also, any minimal code that doesn't work is welcome.

    let title: String = page.title().await?;
    println!("{}", title);
    Ok(())
}

I want to know what it means firefox-1250 doesn't work with java client

firefox-1250 is the version that 0.0.20 uses as seen by

$ ls ~/.cache/ms-playwright/ | grep firefox
firefox-1250

I wanted to know if this issue was part of this rust port, or a general issue with firefox-1250 so I wrote the same test code using playwright-java

import com.microsoft.playwright.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try (Playwright playwright = Playwright.create()) {
            Browser browser = playwright.firefox().launch(new BrowserType.LaunchOptions().setHeadless(false));
            Page page = browser.newPage();
            page.navigate("http://playwright.dev");
            System.out.println(page.title());
        }
    }
}

and when using an older playwright-java version (1.11.0) that matches the firefox version (firefox-1250) the same issue occurs (see my previous comment for output), but with newer version (playwright-java & firefox) the issue goes away. This leads me to believe that once playwright-rust updates the dependency it will start working again. I would also guess that this issue is specific to my own os setup, but I haven't tried to confirm that.

I tested this again with the 1.25 branch and it worked without issues this time. I'm aware it's a work in progress, but at least it gives me a work around without having to write a replacement myself.
