[heads-up] puppeteer.executablePath() is introduced

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I’ve seen you’re reaching out to ChromiumDownloader to get the executable path in your README.md:

// karma.conf.js

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({
    browsers: ['ChromeHeadless']
  })
}

A few minutes ago, Puppeteer got a puppeteer.executablePath() method introduced, so there would be no need to reach to undocumented ChromiumDownloader in future.

Note: the method is a part of Puppeteer 0.11.0, which is not released yet.
