Unable to start Chrome in NodeJS10.x

See original GitHub issue

I an running into the error “Unable to start Chrome” when running on Lambda with NodeJS10. Seems the system fails to due to this error: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

With the update to NodeJS10, Amazon included an update to “Amazon Linux 2”, which is likely the cause of this issue.

AWS Lambda NodeJS10 article: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/05/aws_lambda_adds_support_for_node_js_v10/

In case it helps, here are my full logs:
