Green Coding Puppeteer Container not running headless browser about green-metrics-tool

I gave it a spin. The executable path is not set correctly.

Try this:

puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  // Launch the browser and open a new blank page
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    executablePath: "/usr/bin/chromium-browser",
    args: [ '--disable-gpu', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--no-sandbox', '--headless', ]
  });
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Navigate the page to a URL
  await page.goto('https://todo-app:3000/');
})();

This should at least open the browser. Connecting to the domain I did not check. Hopefully this gets you to the next step.

What base OS are you running on and what architecture do you have?

We have seen this error before when running puppeteer on a macOS or windows system and/or on a non-x64 architecture.

The base image we provide under greencoding/puppeteer-chrome is only build for amd64. If you are running an arm system or under macOS / windows I suggest you rather use our Playwright container with python bindings. See an example where we use it here

However you are also free to use any other puppeteer / playwright container. Our tool is agnostic in that.
You should just verify that you can start the puppeteer / playwright with the container normally on your system by entering the container and starting the browser process directly in headless mode.

Hope this helps. Please follow up if not with more details.

Ah, apologies, I should have included that detail.

I'm running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon on an old laptop with a Intel Core 5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz. I tried a variety of puppeteer containers and got similar errors.

Yes, that worked - thank you! :)
