browser.newPage freezes

Steps to reproduce

• Puppeteer version: 0.13.0
• Platform / OS version: Clever Cloud scaler (linux exherbo)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Here is the code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ executablePath = '/usr/bin/chromium' });
console.log(browser);
const page = await browser.newPage();
console.log(page);

The code never reaches the console.log(page).

Here is the logs, with DEBUG=puppeteer:*

[ziale]

Issue persist with puppeteer@5.2.1 and Chromium (782078) (default downloaded by npm installing puppeteer) Node version 14.8.0

my code:

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({headless: true});
  console.log('page get started');
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  console.log('?');
  await page.goto('https://google.com');
  await page.pdf({path: 'google.pdf'});

  await browser.close();
})();

“?” is never printed. In non-headless it runs but fails on pdf which is expected.

Is there a new already open issue for this somewhere?

@aslushnikov’s suggestion has worked for me. I was able to make it work in a CircleCI environment with:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  args: ['--single-process']
});

I wish the error message was more helpful. I was only getting a timeout message after 8 minutes:
