Headless Chrome times out without executing any tests

I have configured the headless chrome in my project getting rid of Phantom. When I run the tests on my OSX machine, all the tests get executed with the test runner on the headless chrome. But the same doesn’t happen on my linux server. It connects to the socket and then after some time, it disconnects and shows the error message saying “Karma tests failed”. Error:

Here is my configuration:

const ChromiumRevision = require('puppeteer/package.json').puppeteer.chromium_revision;
const Downloader = require('puppeteer/utils/ChromiumDownloader');
const revisionInfo = Downloader.revisionInfo(Downloader.currentPlatform(), ChromiumRevision);

process.env.CHROME_BIN = revisionInfo.executablePath;
module.exports = function (config) {
    config.set({
        basePath: 'build/',
        frameworks: ['jasmine'],
        plugins: [
            require('karma-jasmine'),
            require('karma-chrome-launcher'),
        ],
        files: ['tests.js'],
        customLaunchers: {
            'ChromeHeadless': {
                base: 'Chrome',
                flags: [
                    '--headless',
                    '--disable-gpu',
                    // Without a remote debugging port, Google Chrome exits immediately.
                    '--remote-debugging-port=9222'
                ],
                debug: true
            }
        },
        autoWatch: false,
        browsers: ['ChromeHeadless'],
        singleRun: true,
        browserNoActivityTimeout: 120000,
        urlRoot: '/build/'
    })
}

Using karma-chrome-launcher: "2.1.1". Tried with the latest 2.2.0 version too. Tried with karma: "1.5.0", "1.6.0", and the latest "1.7.1".

I tried other flags like “--no-sandbox”, “--disable-web-security” as suggested on a bunch of issues on karma repo. But still no luck. Is there a fix or workaround for this issue? Is there a reason why it’s not working on the Linux server [Ubuntu Server 14.04.5 LTS].

try npm install && npm rebuild && npm test This worked for me

Also adding --no-sandbox to the flag list helps

npm install && npm rebuild && npm test

const process = require('process');
process.env.CHROME_BIN = require('puppeteer').executablePath();

//later:
 browsers: ['HeadlessChrome'],
    customLaunchers:{
      HeadlessChrome:{
        base: 'ChromeHeadless',
        flags: ['--no-sandbox']
      }
    },

appears to have worked for us.
