Leaves behind chrome processes

Open nixtar opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

On windows with Chrome 101.0.4951.67 I'm seeing behaviour where every time I convert to HTML there is an additional ~4 chrome.exe processes that get started and not cleaned up.

After converting ~10 documents I ended up with this: image

I should add, I had to manually download Chrome and use the ChromiumExecutablePath setting due to issues with our proxy server and the plugins built in downloading of Chrome. Possibly due to the version I downloaded?

Is there a URL to the version that the plugin tries to download for windows I can use to perform an "offline" install?

I'm not quite sure whether puppeteer allows me to get the URL it's downloading Chromium from but if so, I'll go try to include it into the UI somehow.

Thanks for letting me know and also thanks for using Markdown Converter ✨

Update, managed to "convince" vs code to use our proxies and let the extension download Chromium natively.

This issue still occurs, however.
