[Bug] Crash of process exit(1) [puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha]

When using the “puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha” module, I often encounter the error:

exit(1)
events.js:292
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 89.108.117.181:80
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1146:16)
Emitted 'error' event on ClientRequest instance at:
    at Socket.socketErrorListener (_http_client.js:469:9)
    at Socket.emit (events.js:315:20)
    at emitErrorNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:106:8)
    at emitErrorCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:74:3)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:80:21) {
  errno: -111,
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '89.108.117.181',
  port: 80
}

It is most likely related to network problems.

We check the ip address and get the culprit:

host 89.108.117.181
181.117.108.89.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 2captcha.com.

My packages in package.json:

{
	"dependencies": {
		"cheerio": "^1.0.0-rc.3",
		"node-telegram-bot-api": "^0.50.0",
		"puppeteer": "^5.5.0",
		"puppeteer-extra": "^3.1.15",
		"puppeteer-extra-plugin-adblocker": "^2.11.9",
		"puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha": "^3.3.0",
		"puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth": "^2.6.5",
		"request": "^2.88.2",
		"simple-proxy-agent": "^1.1.0",
		"tough-cookie-file-store": "^2.0.2"
	}
}

Calling packages in index.js:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');
const StealthPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth'); 
puppeteer.use(StealthPlugin());

const RecaptchaPlugin = require('puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha'); 
puppeteer.use(
	RecaptchaPlugin({
		provider: {
			id: '2captcha',
			token: '<2captcha key>',
		},
		visualFeedback: true,
	})
);

Search by code in the project where the entry exit(1) was encountered.

All functions in the code are wrapped in try/catch. Process termination exit(1) - calls the package from dependencies. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

@ergcode any update on this, is this still happening? 😃 I apologize for the long wait.

Now my script periodically saves its state in JSON. And after the fall, it restores its state from this file. Therefore, the problem is not so critical.

But so far I have not been able to accurately track the error.

According to statistics:

• passed ~ 14000 captchas,
• 127 restarts after crashing in “pm2 monit”.

package.json

	"dependencies": {
		"puppeteer": "^5.5.0",
		"puppeteer-extra": "^3.1.16",
		"puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha": "^3.3.2",
		"puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth": "^2.6.7"
	},

I’ll try to change the code from code.js

		try {
			await page.waitForSelector(`#g-recaptcha`, { timeout: 10000 });
			await page.solveRecaptchas();
			await page.click(`#g-recaptcha`);
		} catch (error) { console.error(error); }

to this code code.js

		try {
			process.on(`uncaughtException`, (error) => console.log(error));
			await page.waitForSelector(`#g-recaptcha`, { timeout: 10000 });
			await page.solveRecaptchas().catch((error) => console.error(error));
			await page.click(`#g-recaptcha`);
		} catch (error) { console.error(error); }

Maybe I’ll get a little more data.

@ergcode great to hear 😃 Closing for now, I will keep this in mind when I do a planned rewrite of the recaptcha plugin.

PS: I added Github Sponsors links a few days ago 😃
