Why Use This Image?

Setting up Playwright in a dev container typically requires installing both system-level dependencies and browser binaries, which can be slow and error-prone. This image ships with everything pre-installed so your container starts ready to run Playwright tests — no extra setup steps needed.

Update Cadence

This image is rebuilt automatically every Tuesday at midnight to pick up the latest base image updates, security patches, and Playwright releases.

Vulnerability Reporting

A Trivy report is generated aside of the image.

The workflow generates trivy-report.json for the exact pushed manifest digest and attaches it to the image as an OCI artifact with type application/vnd.aquasec.trivy.report.v1+json.

• Reported severities: HIGH, CRITICAL
• Scope: OS packages and language libraries
• --ignore-unfixed is enabled
