Error running TestCafe Docker Image on GitLab CI job . Trying to execute automated end-to-end tests on BrowserStack

We're trying to run testcafe end-to-end tests on BrowserStack triggered by a gitlab CI job. However, we see an error:

Error: spawn /home/user/.browserstack/BrowserStackLocal ENOENT

We are following Option 1 - Use TestCafe Docker Image https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/continuous-integration/gitlab.html which adds an end-to-end testing job to our .gitlab-ci.yml file. We created a .base_e2e job base that is used in the e2e_dev job (see below)

We're also using the testcafe-browser-provider-browserstack npm dependency which allows our testcafe end-toend tests to be executed on BrowserStack, as mentioned here https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/browsers/browser-support.html#browsers-in-cloud-testing-services

This is a copy of the gitlab CI job error:

Additional information

When we run the following command yarn i.e yarn test:e2e_pipeline the end-to-end test is executed and a video recording of the automation uploaded to BrowserStack without a problem.

"scripts": {
    "test:e2e_all": "testcafe 'chrome,firefox' tests/e2e",
    "test:e2e_pipeline": "testcafe 'browserstack:[email protected]:Windows 10' tests/e2e"
  },

We have the following devDependencies inside our package.json

"devDependencies": {
    "testcafe": "^0.23.3",
    "testcafe-browser-provider-browserstack": "^1.7.0",
}

You don't get to use BrowserStack Local with the official TestCafe docker image. TestCafe docker image is based on the alpine:edge image. BrowserStack Local doesn't support Alpine Linux and it's team doesn't have plans to support this operation system. Please see a discussion about it in this thread https://github.com/browserstack/browserstack-local-nodejs/issues/32. As a workaround, you can try to build your own docker image based on the operation system supported by BrowserStack Local.
