Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Run `npm install` to download the correct Chromium revision (938248).[BUG]

[shivika24]

Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Run npm install to download the correct Chromium revision (938248). When using serverless-esbuild plugin with puppeteer.

I have the same error.

{
  "errorType": "Error",
  "errorMessage": "Error in handler:  Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Run `npm install` to download the correct Chromium revision (961656).",
  "trace": [
    "Error: Error in handler:  Could not find expected browser (chrome) locally. Run `npm install` to download the correct Chromium revision (961656).",
    "    at Runtime.module.exports.hello [as handler] (/var/task/handler.js:42:11)"
  ]
}

I had the same error. It seems it's because running this locally requires some additional steps: https://github.com/alixaxel/chrome-aws-lambda/wiki/HOWTO:-Local-Development

This explains why the chromium.executablePath is null, as it is not running in the lambda environment.

It's a seperate problem but now I'm seeing VAAPI video acceleration not available for swiftshader errors when trying to run the instance.

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

i think this answer is right

[ikemura23]

I get it to work

node node_modules/puppeteer-core/install.js

version : "chrome-aws-lambda": "^10.1.0"

[frabbicse]

It works for me. Thank you.

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

[LordOfTheDings]

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

Worked for me as well.

[chirag0320]

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

but how to use this?

You execute the js file. Just copy paste the command into your console.

Give this a try. This is one of the latest maintained repositories: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sparticuz/chromium. Working well with node 18 and AWS Lambda.

This is the instantiation code

        defaultViewport: chromium.defaultViewport,
        executablePath: await chromium.executablePath(),
        headless: chromium.headless,
    });

I'm getting this error after switching to @sparticuz/chromium

So I run this command on the aws lambda instance? When I run this locally this seems to be a version tailored to my OS, which is different to the one that runs on aws lambda. Note that I do not use this locally but on a lambda instance (as the name of the package suggests). Thanks for any help

Did you ever solve this? I'm been trying to solve this for 3+ hours and haven't had any success

[kurtsys]

node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

but how to use this?

You execute the js file. Just copy paste the command into your console.

That works locally (telling me the browser is already installed):

➜ git:(main) node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js

Chromium is already in [...]/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/mac-901912; skipping download.

Still, the error remains on AWS lambda. I can't run that command there, or can I?

@kurtsys found any solution ?
