[BUG] Failed to create driver when using in sbt plugin

[gmkumar2005]

System info

• Playwright Version: [1.40.0]
• Operating System: [macOS] (Not tested on other os. It is fair to assume this issue exists on all OS)
• Browser: [All]
• Other info:

Expected
The playwright drivers should be loaded and open the browser when running in an sbt plugin.

I am using playwright in an sbt plugin. It fails to load the driver with following error
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.net.URL.toURI()" because the return value of "java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(String)" is null

Actual

I am using playwright in an sbt plugin. It fails to load the driver with following error
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.net.URL.toURI()" because the return value of "java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(String)" is null

The root cause seems to be due to the way class loader is used in the DriverJar.Java
The function getDriverResourceURI() is using a classloader from current Thread
ClassLoader classloader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

sbt is not able to provide all the libraries inthis class loader. It works with DriverJar.class.getClassLoader()

Can this function getDriverResourceURI() be updated to use the class loader as in DriverJar.class.getClassLoader()

Sounds like a problem with sbt as it works in regular environment. Providing more context on how you use Playwright and how this can be reproduced, ideally with a minimal repro that we could run locally, would help us better understand what's going on. I don't know what sbt is, but it sounds like some environment that would be out of scope for the project. With that said, if you have an idea for the fix we accept contributions.

I fixed this issue by writing a custom DriverJar. I changed the classLoading logic to DriverJar.class.getClassLoader() .
To make it work system property is setup as below.

System.setProperty("playwright.driver.impl", "jsenv.DriverJar")
