For the past week or so, Antigravity’s browser integration has not been working. The agent tries to access the tool, gets an error, tries again, and then reports to me that it can automatically test the changes it made because the tool isn’t working.
Agent report:
I attempted to navigate to http://localhost:3000/dashboard to inspect the layout as requested, but I encountered a repeated technical error with the browser environment:
Error: failed to create browser context: failed to install playwright: $HOME environment variable is not set
This error indicates that the browser tool is unable to initialize correctly in the current environment because Playwright (the underlying browser automation tool) is not properly installed or configured, specifically due to a missing $HOME environment variable.
As a result, I cannot:
-
Navigate to the dashboard.
-
Capture screenshots of the layout.
-
Inspect the DOM structure or CSS properties of the elements.
I recommend checking the environment configuration or ensuring the browser service is properly set up before retrying this task.
I reported this via the in app feedback form, but haven’t heard squat back yet.
