Puppeteer unable to run on Heroku

rated 0 times [ 108] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 26238 / 6 Years ago, fri, september 7, 2018, 12:00:00

I deployed an app on heroku, and I added the Puppeteer Heroku buildpack.

After a succesful redeployment, I tried to run it and it fails. Using heroku logs -t, I get this error message:

2018-09-07T13:16:10.870497+00:00 app[web.1]: Error: Failed to launch chrome!

 dangerously and need an immediate workaround, you can try using --no-sandbox.

You should be able to solve this issue by passing the --no-sandbox and --disable-setuid-sandbox flags to puppeteer.launch():

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({

  args: [

    '--no-sandbox',

    '--disable-setuid-sandbox',

  ],

});

If this does not work, you may want to read the official Puppeteer troubleshooting guide: Running Puppeteer on Heroku.
