Running selenium with .Net

[karpikpl]

Hi @anthonychu,
I've been trying to follow your example and build an azure function with Selenium that uses chromium driver, but it keeps failing to start chrome.

Packages I used:

		<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver" Version="4.5.1" />
		<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDriver" Version="107.0.5304.6200" />
		<PackageReference Include="Selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium" Version="4.1.0" />

When I publish/build the application, chromedriver.exe is in the bin\debug and publish directories but azure function throws an exception

unknown error: cannot find Chrome binary OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException at OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError

I can see that binary is where it supposed to.
I've tested on consumption plans for both windows (chromedriver.exe) and linux (chromedriver). Any suggestions on the solution?

Error on premium app service plan Linux is slightly different and says that it could not start chrome service on port xxxx.

For playwright to work I had to run

/site/wwwroot/.playwright/node/linux-x64# ./playwright.sh install --with-deps

but playwright expects a different directory:
Exception while executing function: RunPlaywright Driver not found: /home/site/.playwright/node/linux-x64/playwright.sh so I had to copy .playwright to /home/site for it to work
