How to manually specify path to browser that should be run?

I have a problem with my playwright after restarting app on AWS EB as you can see

Mar  7 15:20:22 ip-10-249-15-251 web: at async /var/app/current/node_modules/@crawlee/browser-pool/browser-pool.js:274:37 {
Mar  7 15:20:22 ip-10-249-15-251 web: name: 'BrowserLaunchError',
Mar  7 15:20:22 ip-10-249-15-251 web: [cause]: browserType.launchPersistentContext: Executable doesn't exist at /home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright/ch                                    romium-1097/chrome-linux/chrome

my app is trying to run chromium under above path, but I don't have that version installed I have this:

sh-4.2$ pwd
/home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright
sh-4.2$ ls
chromium-1105  ffmpeg-1009

sh-4.2$ pwd
/home/webapp/.cache/ms-playwright
sh-4.2$ ls
chromium-1105  ffmpeg-1009

I'm not sure why this is happening is this because im using meta package crawlee: 3.7.2 without caret (^) and underneath its updated to the newest version? also playwright: 1.4.1 where newest is 1.4.2

Try to update to latest crawlee and playwright versions. Also try to use playwright: "*" in package.json
