Not working under Windows Service

[TejasPatadiya10]

If we use puppeteer-sharp with console app its working fine

but when we use it with Windows Service we are getting below exception with LaunchAsync

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Failed to create connection) ---> PuppeteerSharp.ProcessException: Failed to create connection ---> PuppeteerSharp.TargetClosedException: Protocol error(Target.setDiscoverTargets): Target closed.

We have make sure that we are using it with proper awaits as its working fine with console app,

Besides this if we are using --no-sandbox then its working fine with windows service. but we read the documentation and came to know that using this args is not recommended.

so please suggest any other way to run it under windows service.

We have a similar issue (when app is running as a service) but with PDF generation: await page.PdfStreamAsync(...) throws: System.TimeoutException: Timeout of 180000 ms exceeded at PuppeteerSharp.Helpers.TaskHelper.WithTimeout[T](Task1 task, TimeSpan timeout, Func2 exceptionFactory) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/Helpers/TaskHelper.cs:line 185 at PuppeteerSharp.Cdp.CdpCDPSession.SendAsync(String method, Object args, Boolean waitForCallback, CommandOptions options) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/Cdp/CdpCDPSession.cs:line 112 at PuppeteerSharp.CDPSession.SendAsync[T](String method, Object args, CommandOptions options) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/CDPSession.cs:line 44 at PuppeteerSharp.Cdp.CdpPage.PdfInternalAsync(String file, PdfOptions options) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/Cdp/CdpPage.cs:line 829 at PuppeteerSharp.Page.PdfStreamAsync(PdfOptions options) in /home/runner/work/puppeteer-sharp/puppeteer-sharp/lib/PuppeteerSharp/Page.cs:line 390

After some research it appears that this was broken since v15.0 : The Issue: PDF generation throws Timeout Exception when application is running as windows service.

I am also having issues with this. After updating from 17.0.0, our app has stalled on the same method, page.PdfStreamAsync. However, I have only seen this issue when code is run on the server. When doing local development in Visual Studio, v18.0.2 appears to be working fine.

Ok. I'm rolling the browser back

Can confirm this is broken on v126 of Chromium when running as a Windows Service. Using --no-sandbox does fix this and unfortunately seems the way to go if you need to use a fixed BrowserExecutable.

Browser was rolled back

Hey folks! I'm looking for volunteers to test PuppeteerSharp 18.1.0-beta1. This new version is using Chrome 127 which provides a new way to setup the browser by calling its setup.exe file.

Same problem here with 19.1 and edge browser (unfortunatelly chrome is no option here

How are you installing the browser?

[ChristophKrause]

I use preinstalled edge
