VERSION
  artillery/2.0.22 linux-x64 node-v22.13.0

1. Running this command:

docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/scripts artilleryio/artillery:latest run /scripts/scenario.yml

Expected the test to run. Instead I got this:

Running this command:

cd examples/browser-playwright-reuse-authentication
docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/scripts --entrypoint /bin/sh artilleryio/artillery:latest 
cd /scripts
npx artillery run scenario.yml

I expected to see this happen:

I expected the test to run

Instead, this happened:

Need to install the following packages:
artillery@2.0.22
Ok to proceed?

I was able to make this work by setting NODE_PATH:

FROM node:22-bookworm
LABEL maintainer="team@artillery.io"

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install bash

WORKDIR /home/node/artillery

COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm --ignore-scripts --production install && npm install @playwright/test
RUN npx playwright install --with-deps chromium

COPY . ./
ENV PATH="/home/node/artillery/bin:${PATH}"
ENV NODE_PATH=/home/node/artillery/node_modules

ENTRYPOINT ["/home/node/artillery/bin/run"]

how come the docu says "The Playwright engine is built into Artillery and does not need to be installed separately." but the docker image is unable to find playwright?

EDIT:
I have looked deeper into artillery docu and now I understand the concept of accessing playwright scripts inside of a container.

For anyone wondering:
So basically all you need to do is have a artillery wrapper (.yaml) file which executes the playwright scripts.
