firebase 函数 Puppeteer 找不到 Chromium GCP

Question

I have been using GCP for a long time with google cloud, and I wanted to run a cloud function that uses Puppeteer, but unfortunately, I am getting the following error.

---

Unhandled error Error: Could not find Chromium (rev. 1069273). This can occur if either

1. you did not install before running the script (eg, npm install ) or
2. your cache path is incorrectly configured (which is: /root/.cache/puppeteer). For (2), check out our guide on configuring Puppeteer at https://pptr.dev/guides/configuration . at ChromeLauncher.resolveExecutablePath (/workspace/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/ProductLauncher.js:120:27) at ChromeLauncher.executablePath (/workspace/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/ChromeLauncher.js:166:25) at ChromeLauncher.launch (/workspace/node_modules/puppeteer-core/lib/cjs/puppeteer/node/ChromeLauncher.js:70:37) at async /workspace/lib/index.js:122:21 at async /workspace/node_modules/firebase-functions/lib/common/providers/https.js:407:26

My code is

export const test = functions
  .runWith({
    timeoutSeconds: 120,
    memory: "512MB" || "2GB",
  })
  .https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ["--no-sandbox"] });
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto("https://www.google.com/");

    browser.close();
    return { msg: "all good", status: 200 };
  });

I copy from here an example of how to use Puppeteer in the GCP function (worked on my machine), I also tried other functions that don't use Puppeteer, which work fine (so I am sure the problem is with Puppeteer). I also tried to add the flag "--disable-setuid-sandbox" but that didn't work. I am writing the firebase function with Typescript. My package.json has the following settings.

"engines": {
    "node": "16"
  },
  "main": "lib/index.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "firebase-admin": "^10.2.0",
    "firebase-functions": "^3.21.0",
    "puppeteer": "^19.4.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/puppeteer": "^7.0.4",
    "typescript": "^4.6.4"
  },
  "private": true

My tsconfig.json file has the following setting.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "outDir": "lib",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strict": true,
    "target": "ES2020",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "rootDir": "src",
  },
  "compileOnSave": true,
  "include": [
    "src",
    "node_modules/@types/puppeteer/index.d.ts"
  ]
}

I also have in the lib directory the.puppeteerrc.cjs file according to here .

const {join} = require('path');

/**
 * @type {import("puppeteer").Configuration}
 */
module.exports = {
  // Changes the cache location for Puppeteer.
  cacheDirectory: join(__dirname, '.cache', 'puppeteer'),
};

I tried adding it next to index.js, index.ts,package.json, firebase.json, but that did not change it. I tried deleting and reinstalling node_modules. I tried to follow StackOverflow questions. Deploying firebase function with Puppeteer says chrome can't be found even thoough I have enabled --no-sandbox

Not able to migrate firebase functions to node 10 runtime

Answer 1

downgrading puppeteer helped:

npm remove puppeteer
npm install puppeteer@16.2.0 --save-dev

Answer 2

I faced a similar issue. The simplest fix that I could find was to downgrade to Puppeteer 16.2.0 version. It is a deprecated version of Puppeteer but it should work.

Cheers
