Is it possible to run puppeteer on electron window?
See original GitHub issueIn nightmare.js, there is a possibility to take advantage of the electron window. That doesn’t require us to use external chromium nor google chrome executables, because chromium is already bundled into electron.
So, can I take an advantage of that? Been slightly looking through docs and found out that puppeteer always requires to specify the chromium executable path to be used and there seem to be no way to overcome this and work nicely within electron process.

I wrote a small library to take care of this for my own projects: https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer-in-electron
It uses the above webSocketDebuggerUrl approach. This does work in the latest version of puppeteer and electron. Disclaimer, the whole library needs a lot of testing.
The other thing I spent a long time trying to solve was how to associate an electron BrowserWindow with a puppeteer Page. I ended up writing a routine that injects JavaScript into the BrowserWindow and searches for that specific Page in puppeteer.
I would note that there are a few limitations in puppeteer, for example you cannot intercept requests due to electron not supporting the network service.
@AnthoniG If you have the time, would you be able to include a code snippet? I am having trouble with this same task right now
