How to run python playwright on Azure Cloud using Python

Question

I'm trying to deploy timer trigger function that extracts data from web. I'm using playwright to access. My code runs as expected on my local machine. However when I tried to deploy on cloud it says:

Result: Failure Exception: Exception: ================================================================================ "chromium" browser was not found. Please complete Playwright installation via running "python -m playwright install" ================================================================================ Stack: File "/azure-functions-host/workers/python/3.8/LINUX/X64/azure_functions_worker/dispatcher.py", line 353, in _handle__invocation_request call_result = await fi.func(**args) File "/home/site/wwwroot/AsyncFlight/__init__.py", line 21, in main browser = await p.chromium.launch() File "/home/site/wwwroot/.python_packages/lib/site-packages/playwright/async_api/_generated.py", line 9943, in launch raise e File "/home/site/wwwroot/.python_packages/lib/site-packages/playwright/async_api/_generated.py", line 9921, in launch await self._impl_obj.launch( File "/home/site/wwwroot/.python_packages/lib/site-packages/playwright/_impl/_browser_type.py", line 73, in launch raise not_installed_error(f'"{self.name}" browser was not found.')

I have checked my consumption plan and my os on cloud is Linux and"azureFunctions.scmDoBuildDuringDeployment" is set to true. I have included playwright in my requirements.txt. Don't know what I'm missing. Please help!!

Thankyou
