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 More commonly, `/bin/bash` can be quite out of date.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 |
