📄 Description

Summary

This environment variable is used by Playwright to configure where to install browsers. If specified, the given directory is used instead of the OS-specific cache folder. For compatibility with existing Playwright installations, and better control over where these binaries are installed, check the same environment variable in PlaywrightBinProvider.

See the Playwright docs for more details on how this works.
