1. google-chrome installed via YUM on centos 7. chrome-finder is failing to locate it.
2. and the explicit CHROME_PATH setting doesn't seem to fix things.

If it helps my google chrome installation step was...

# Install Google Chrome
RUN wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
RUN yum install ./google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm -y
RUN rm google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm

(taken from https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-install-google-chrome-on-redhat-rhel-fedora-centos-linux/) I've set CHROME_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome

And then i followed https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/master/docs/readme.md#using-programmatically

@Jayflux got a dockerfile or image recommendation that I can use to reproduce this centos setup?

[jasonwilliams]

Hey @paulirish I've created a testcase project for you all to try out. https://github.com/Jayflux/lighthouse-testcase

This should help you with reproducing and debugging the issue

Managed to fix it. It was this issue, https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-launcher/issues/6#issuecomment-341491690

Might be still worth keeping this issue open though, as i still get

which: no chromium-browser in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
which: no chromium in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)

Also had which: no chromium-browser in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin) which: no chromium in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)

"sudo yum install -y chromium" helped for me
