TimeoutError: Timed out after 60000 ms while waiting for the WS endpoint URL to appear in stdout! about browserless HOT 3 CLOSED

Ensure your package.json looks like this:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "browserless": "latest",
    "puppeteer": "latest"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js"
  }
}

Then, npm install, and that's all. You don't need to specify the binary path 🙂

Thank you very much. I will be testing today.

So...the beat goes on.

I got the install script to work, i.e., Chrome is now installed. But, given that we're dealing with a Docker container created by a "docker build" command, its location is different. It landed in this directory:

/efs/tmp/node/home/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/linux-117.0.5938.92/chrome-linux64

I naively assumed that, regardless of where the Puppeteer script installed Chrome, it would know to find it there. Wrong again: first experiments showed Puppeteer complaining that he could not find the Chrome executable.

Thus I again asserted the executablePath property to the browser constructor. The "not found" complaint went away, but the original "Timed out after 60000 ms" returned.

At this point, I am at a real loss as to how to proceed. In the hope that browserless+chrome is faster than Firefox+Selenium, I am eager to make it work. (I can say that browserless+chrome is far simpler to use than FF+Selenium).

I am grateful for your ongoing help with this.

Thanks again.
