I believe the file needs to be “.puppeteerrc.cjs” with a leading dot.

I also found that when patching an image (which runs “npm ci” on GAE Flex), I needed to add this to package.json when puppeteer gets upgraded:

{ “scripts”: { “postinstall”: “node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js”, } }

@gRoussac https://github.com/gRoussac I changed the puppeteerrc.cjs and still no luck any chance you’ll look at my repo and tell me what I’m missing? it’s a very small project and that puppeteer error is very frustrating repo: https://github.com/AdirBuskila/star-info

Running into this as well, I suspect it has to do with the breaking change

use ~/.cache/puppeteer for browser downloads (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/pull/9095)

In my case, dependencies are installed using a privileged system account and the app is run using a different unprivileged account. I suspect that since the cache path is now user-dependent, this is a new problem.

The unprivileged user in my case also has no home directory, so puppeteer 19.x is effectively broken for me.

While I appreciate the effort to reduce the filesystem bloat when using puppeteer across many apps, allowing puppeteer to install things outside the scope of node_modules appears to be a significant oversight.
