The same commands works fine on Ubuntu 22:

removing build/bdist.linux-x86_64/wheel
Fetching https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/driver/playwright-1.51.1-linux.zip

I guess the issue is that there's no https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/driver/playwright-1.51.1-windows.zip ?

Do you know which URL it is downloading? There is https://playwright.azureedge.net/builds/driver/playwright-1.51.1-win32_x64.zip

It works on our bots: https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-python/actions/runs/14180604249/job/39725669034#step:4:590 - weird.

@mxschmitt Thanks! :)

It looks like the issue was that I killed the process (or my connection dropped) while playwright-1.51.1-win32_x64.zip was being downloaded, so I ended up with only a partial ZIP file.

setup.py contains these lines of code, so the ZIP file wasn't redownloaded when I ran python -m build --wheel the second time:

if os.path.exists("driver/" + zip_file):
  return

Deleting driver\playwright-1.51.1-win32_x64.zip and rerunning python -m build --wheel fixed the issue.

Would it make sense for setup.py to download the entire ZIP file before writing it to disk?

we could e.g. write into a .tmp file and then move the .tmp file to the actual location - that should probably fix that?

@mxschmitt Sounds good to me! :)
