Was not able to save the URL using singlefile. The reported error was No such file or directory about canvas-student-data-export

@dj346 Are you able to help debug this issue? I no longer have access to Canvas so it's difficult for me to debug issues like this

[davekats]

@Bristopher I no longer have access to Canvas so it will be challenging for me to debug this issue. If you'd like you can schedule a call with me and we can debug the issue from your computer: https://usemotion.com/meet/davidk/hxmsj33

@Bristopher Can you go to the bottom of singlefile.py, uncomment out the section at the bottom, and run the singlefile.py? Post any errors you get. Sorry for the late response.

@davekats @dj346 We're even now haha, been so busy with this last semester. That initial issue I posted above must've been a quirk because out of all the times I've used this that isn't the main issue, the main issue is this:
Downloading course list page Failed to launch the browser process! spawn chrome ENOENT

Somehow it can never correctly find chrome (after searching it seems to be a very common problem, I think it's just a puppeteer issue), I've been trying to just dockerize it at this point so I don't have to deal with
windows-->linux issues, and its good practice to get better at it, but still same issue. If I use the Dockerfile given from gildas-lormeau/single-file-cli to test it finally works, but now there's a new bigger hurdle.

Ever since a couple years ago a lot Universities started using 2FA and redirect you after you login, even with the cookies file, I believe it momentarily redirects to 2FA portal to check and then continues to the page, so single-file just captures the page of the 2FA portal. Not sure if there's a way to delay single-file or somehow bypass the redirect check if you have the correct cookies, or something like that.

We were able to figure this one out over a zoom call. We found that adding the --browser-debug flag after line 14 in singlefile.py was helpful and seemed to help singlefile render webpages in chrome effectively.
