camofox-browser/scripts/postinstall.js

#!/usr/bin/env node
// Postinstall: download Camoufox binaries and verify the cache is populated.
//
// Why a script instead of an inline `npx camoufox-js fetch`:
//   1. Cross-platform: avoids POSIX-only `VAR= cmd` shell syntax (Windows
//      cmd.exe does not honor it).
//   2. Defends against PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD=1 inherited from
//      the user's shell or a CI/Docker base image. `camoufox-js` honors
//      that flag by convention (same env name as `playwright`'s skip flag),
//      which leaves the binary cache empty and makes the server crash at
//      runtime with "Version information not found".
//   3. Verifies the cache after fetch and prints a warning with actionable
//      remediation if the binary is still missing — the server will fail
//      at startup, but install itself succeeds so plugin installs don't break.
//
// Exit behavior:
//   Always exits 0. Download failures produce warnings, not hard errors.
//   This ensures `npm install` succeeds in environments where the binary
//   download is blocked (CI, firewalls, plugin installs that only need the
//   JS tooling). The server prints a clear error at startup if the binary
//   is missing.
