Steps to Reproduce

const chromium = require('chrome-aws-lambda');
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');

  async convertToPdf(request) {
    try {
      console.log('Starting puppeteer browser.');

      const browser = await chromium.puppeteer.launch({
        args: chromium.args,
        defaultViewport: chromium.defaultViewport,
        executablePath: await chromium.executablePath,
        headless: true,
        ignoreHTTPSErrors: true
      });

      console.log('Puppeteer launched: ' + !!browser);


      if (request.sections.length > 75) {
        throw new Error('Only 75 report sections are allowed');
      }

      let pdfs = await Promise.all(_.map(request.sections, async (section, $index) => {
        if (section.s3Pdf) {
          let s3Response = await s3.getObject({
            Bucket: section.s3Pdf.bucket,
            Key: section.s3Pdf.key
          }).promise();

          console.log(`PDF ${$index} retrieved successfully`);
          return s3Response.Body;
        }
        const page = await browser.newPage();

        page.setViewport(request.viewPort || {
          width: 1024,
          height: 600
        });

        section.options = section.options || {};

        console.log(`Loading section ${$index}...`);
        await page.setContent(this.fromBase64(section.html), {waitUntil: ['networkidle0']});
        console.log(`Section ${$index} Load complete. Converting html to pdf using puppeteer. Options: ${JSON.stringify(section.options)}`);

        let body = await page.pdf(_.assign({format: 'letter'}, section.options));

        console.log(`PDF ${$index} created successfully`);
        page.close();
        return body;
      }));

Previously my code was running properly on nodejs8.10 supported AWS Lambda function but after forcefully upgrade to nodejs12.x, my code starts to throw this error. I tried upgrading chrome-aws-lambda and puppeteer-core version to 2.1.1 and even the latest 5.3.1 but no luck on resolving the issue.

Here is how I fixed mine.

• First, I ran an update.

sudo apt-get update

• Move to the chromium directory.

cd /project_folder/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/[linux-579032]/[chrome-linux]

but replace the bracketed directories with the directories available in your node_modules folder. There you should find the local installation of chrome and from there you ran the next command.

• Next, run this

ldd chrome | grep not

on a Linux machine to check which dependencies are missing. Read more here Chrome headless doesn’t launch on UNIX

• Run this to install the missing libraries or packages.

sudo apt-get install libpangocairo-1.0-0 libx11-xcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxi6 libxtst6 libnss3 libcups2 libxss1 libxrandr2 libgconf2-4 libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libgtk-3-0

sudo apt-get install -y libgbm-dev

• Run this again to check if the missing packages are installed ldd chrome | grep not this time nothing is shown on the terminal, so you should be good.
• In your JS code, add this

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: true,
    args: ['--no-sandbox'] });

That is it. You are good to go. Hopefully, this helps someone. 😄

I get the same error, but not related to AWS, but Linux on a Windows 10 machine using WSL 2 (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) and Puppetter: 5.5.0: ChromeHeadless stderr: /home/sandstedt/_open-source/mojs/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-818858/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solved it by installing all missing dependencies listed here: Puppeteer Troubleshooting
