New tab official example not working for headless mode

I must have missed something but executing the official example for creating a new tab in headless mode doesn’t work for me:

const CDP = require('chrome-remote-interface');

CDP.New().then((tab) => {
    return CDP({tab: tab});
}).then((client) => {
    return client.Runtime.evaluate({
        expression: 'alert("Closing this tab...")'
    }).then(() => {
        const tab = client.chooseTab;
        return CDP.Close({id: tab.id});
    });
}).catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
});

I get: Error: Could not create new page

I tried with the command line: chrome-remote-interface new http://www.ingdirect.fr. Same error.

I’m executing Chrome on Ubuntu. I customized the IP on which chrome listen but I tried with the default (localhost) and I observed same results.

Regarding the command line, inspect and list works. But not new nor close.

I’m using the latest version of node and CRI:

 npm ls -g --depth=0
/home/jon/.nvm/versions/node/v7.9.0/lib
├── chrome-remote-interface@0.18.0
└── npm@4.2.0

OK good to know. Saw that but thought DevTools was a domain. Thanks.

There’s a note about the headless version:

Please note that currently the DevTools methods are not properly supported in headless mode; use the Target domain instead. See #83 and #84 for more information.

It will be fixed in Chrome 59, you can use the google-chrome-unstable Ubuntu package.
