[SOLVED] /usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol

Hi, I'm trying to make playwright work on my arch linux installation.

playwright requires you to download precompiled browsers that it stores in `.cache/ms-playwright/`

tree ~/.cache/ms-playwright/ -d -L 2
~/.cache/ms-playwright/
├── chromium-1060
│   └── chrome-linux
├── ffmpeg-1008
├── firefox-1403
│   └── firefox
└── webkit-1837
    ├── minibrowser-gtk
    └── minibrowser-wpe

9 directories

Unfortunately, trying to run tests with playwright went through a lot of installation issues, the last one I was not able to solve:

1. (Solved) I had to install flite and compile additional flite libraries
   The error was

   Error: browserType.launch: 
       ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
       ║ Host system is missing dependencies to run browsers. ║
       ║ Missing libraries:                                   ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_grapheme_lang.so.1                  ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_grapheme_lex.so.1                   ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_time_awb.so.1                       ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_us_awb.so.1                         ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_us_kal.so.1                         ║
       ║     libflite_cmu_us_rms.so.1                         ║
       ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

   and the fix was

   yay -S flite
   
   git clone https://github.com/festvox/flite.git
   cd flite
   ./configure --enable-shared
   make
   make get_voices
   
   cd build/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib
   for file in libflite_cmu_grapheme_lang.so.1 libflite_cmu_grapheme_lex.so.1 libflite_cmu_time_awb.so.1 libflite_cmu_us_awb.so.1 libflite_cmu_us_kal.so.1 libflite_cmu_us_rms.so.1; do
   sudo cp $(pwd)/$file /usr/lib/
   done

2. (Still not solved) now that it finds flite libs, I face the following error:

   ~/.cache/ms-playwright/webkit-1837/minibrowser-wpe/MiniBrowser --inspector-pipe --headless --no-startup-window
   ~/.cache/ms-playwright/webkit-1837/minibrowser-wpe/bin/MiniBrowser: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_string_free_and_steal

   and I have abolutely no clue on how to find the problem and solve it…

   Any advice?

Re: [SOLVED] /usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol

set LD_DEBUG=files before running the command, I'd bet you find a bad glib2 library somewhere.

As for flite, you'll want to package that if you want it installed globally.

Re: [SOLVED] /usr/lib/libgstreamer-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol

Thanks @Scimmia,

I had to delete the following libs from playwright custom browsers to fallback on system versions:
