Not running on Google Cloud Functions

[moesalih]

I'm trying to run this on Google Cloud Functions and it's not working. I get the following error:

Error Error: Failed to launch chrome! [0920/161236.165262:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(89)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180. TROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md

And I did try passing the '--no-sandbox' arg using:

const png = await convert(canvas.svg(), {
	headless: true,
	args: ['--no-sandbox']
})

But I still get the same error. Anyone know what the issue is?

For what it's worth, I am running pupeteer on its own in another Cloud Function and that is working fine.

Similarly I haven't been able to get it to work in Heroku (which may mean I adopt a different solution; see my attempts at badges/svg-to-image-proxy#41). This is a Puppeteer issue and I've tried following the instructions at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-on-heroku, but no luck.

There are some notes on Google Cloud Functions: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md#running-puppeteer-on-google-cloud-functions though it says "it should work." 🤷‍♂

I'm sorry for the incredibly long delay in replying in responding to you but life sometimes gets in the way of OSS development. I thank you for your patience and, although I'm closing this issue out, I hope you'll be glad to know that I hope this issue may be resolved in with today's 0.6.0 release with a huge bump in the version of Puppeteer that's supported.

If you continue to have this problem, please raise a new ticket with complete logs to enable investigation. I hope you can understand my delay.
