Failed To Launch Browser Process

[zpottie]

Hi there,

Apologies if I'm polluting your issues, but just wanted to put this here in case it helps someone else, as I came looking here first as we use your library.

Redeployed our code today and PDF generation broke. Looks like it may be a bug introduced by Chrome? https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome/issues/649

Uncaught PHP Exception Spiritix\Html2Pdf\ConverterException: "Binary error: file:///PATH/TO/PROJECT/vendor/spiritix/php-chrome-html2pdf/node_modules/@puppeteer/browsers/lib/esm/launch.js:301
    reject(new Error([

Hope this helps someone else!

What ended up working for me, or at least a work-around for now, is to create the directories like mentioned in the linked issue: https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome/issues/649#issuecomment-2336592370

sudo mkdir -p /home/www/.config/google-chrome/Crashpad
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/www/.config
