Cannot use browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext() with the --no-sandbox and --single-process args

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 1.4.0-next.1526938802806
• Platform / OS version: Fedora 28
• URLs (if applicable):
• Node.js version: 8.10.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Run this code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: ['--no-sandbox', '--single-process'],
    dumpio: true
  });
  // Create a new incognito browser context.
  const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
  // Create a new page in a pristine context.
  const page = await context.newPage();
  // Do stuff
  await page.goto('https://example.com');
})();

It is really similar to the one documented here. The only differences are:

• I’m using the ["--no-sandbox", "--single-process"] args because I want to deploy my application as an AWS Lambda. See https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/issues/15#issuecomment-301754730.
• I’m setting dumpio to true to get more information.

What is the expected result?

The page is created in the incognito context and I can use it to go to the given URL.

What happens instead?

When I run the code with DEBUG=*, I get the following error:

But when I run this code instead:

@@ -5,10 +5,8 @@ const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");
dumpio: true,
args: ["--no-sandbox", "--single-process"]
});
- // Create a new incognito browser context.
- const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
- // Create a new page in a pristine context.
- const page = await context.newPage();
+ // Create a new page in the default context.
+ const page = await browser.newPage();
// Do stuff
await page.goto("https://example.com");
})();

it works fine.

Is the incompatibility between the ["--no-sandbox", "--single-process"] arguments and the browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext() method expected?

Thanks.

Use headless and incognito parameter

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome

const param_puppeteer = {
  args: [
    "--incognito",
    "--ignore-certificate-errors",
    "--no-sandbox",
    "--disable-setuid-sandbox",
    "--window-size=1920,1080",
    "--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas",
    "--disable-gpu"],
  headless: false
};

const browser = await puppeteer.launch(param_puppeteer);
const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.setViewport({ width: 400, height: 800 });

@tibdex I see it hits a CHECK in chromium: render_process_host_impl.cc:3752

The --single-process flag is not officially supported/maintained in Chromium; let me see if we can do anything about this particular usecase.
