ChromeLauncher fails

[Amizi312]

This is the error I get when I try to deploy my code:

Error: Tried to find the browser at the configured path (‘/opt/render/project/puppeteer’), but no executable was found.

I saw on other thread that I need to set env to:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

You should only need to set the PUPPETEER_CACHE_DIR. With only that in place, you can push a new manual deployment without any build cache.

I did that, and the deploy got stuck on building.
So I deleted all envs.
the chrome is installed, eventhough I prefer FF.

and that what I getting now:

• Version: 4.74.0
• Initializing WA
• Launching Browser
• MD Enabled, turning off incognito mode.

I got the service “live”, but I still don’t have the chromium available.

Hi there,

Can you see if unsetting CHROME_PATH and PUPPETEER_SKIP_DOWNLOAD to see if it helps.

didn’t help…

Is there any other way to install chromium?
Maybe I didn’t configure my code properly? I even tried to use Docker - also didn’t work… (on replit I succeed to run my code)

Hi there,

You can do something like this to install Chrome.

Eventually, I managed to run it with docker. But I encountered the same problem as Qr In Console Not displayed correctly

Is there a way not to display the timestamp in the logs?
I didn’t see an option to export the qr to somewhere else…
