codecept info reports "Playwright not installed" under Bun because it shells out to `npx`

[mirao]

What are you trying to achieve?

Run codecept info (or the machine-info block printed by run --verbose) under Bun and get the installed Playwright browser versions reported.

What do you get instead?

playwrightBrowsers: "Playwright not installed" on an install where Playwright and its browsers are present and working.

getPlaywrightBrowsers() in lib/command/info.js hardcodes the Node package runner:

const info = execSync('npx playwright install --dry-run').toString().trim()

A Bun-only environment has no npx on PATH, so execSync throws and the catch reports Playwright not installed. That is a false negative rather than a visible error, which makes it look like a genuine misconfiguration.

Details

Reproduce with Bun installed and Node/npm absent from PATH:

$ PATH=/path/to/bun/bin:/usr/bin:/bin bun ./bin/codecept.js info <dir>
  bunInfo:  1.4.2
  playwrightBrowsers:  "Playwright not installed"

Expected:

  playwrightBrowsers:  "chromium: 148.0.7778.96, firefox: 150.0.2, webkit: 26.4"

The workaround currently needed is symlinking npx to bun in the image, which is fragile and shouldn't be required just to read a version string.

Proposed fix

Pick the package runner from the runtime that is actually executing rather than from whatever PATH happens to hold — bunx under Bun, npx otherwise — detected via process.versions.bun. This is the same detection already used for getRuntimeInfo() in #5700. bunx playwright install --dry-run resolves the local node_modules/.bin/playwright and produces output identical to the npx form, so parsePlaywrightBrowsers() is unaffected and Node behaviour is unchanged.

This is the only place CodeceptJS actually shells out to npx; every other occurrence under lib/ is documentation text.
