Although very common, bash is not guaranteed to be located at `/bin/bash`. NixOS is an example of this. More commonly, `/bin/bash` can be quite out of date. An example of this is MacOS's version of `bash`. This realistically won't affect Playwright but it's worth noting. You can technically update MacOS's system version of bash but you need elevated permissions to do so. By using `/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `/bin/bash` we can execute Playwright's bash scripts in like NixOS and generally improve the selection behaviour for bash in other systems too. Some discussion of why it's worth favouring `/usr/bin/env bash` over `/bin/bash`: - Discusses `/bin/bash` missing in NixOS: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/add-bin-bash-to-avoid-unnecessary-pain/5673 - Some general commentary on why `/usr/bin/env bash` is favoured: https://askubuntu.com/a/1402721 - Points out how old bash is in MacOS: https://itnext.io/upgrading-bash-on-macos-7138bd1066ba Improves situation at #5501
Tool for printing .exe and .dll dependencies on Windows
This is similar to ldd on linux in that loads specified files and tries to
resolve all DLLs referenced by it, printing in the formar <lib name> => <full path> | "no found"
To minimize dependencies we link all C runtime libraries statically, there is
still one dynamic dependency on dbghelp.dll which is supposed to be preinstalled
on all Windows machines.
Build instructions
Open PrintDeps.sln solution in Visual Studio 2019 and build x64/Release configuration. We
currently commit output binary into bin/PrintDeps.exe and bundle it in every npm.
