Puppeteer 1.10 stops after creating browser context on Linux

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 1.10.0
• Platform / OS version: Linux / Ubuntu 16.04.4 (within Docker)
• URLs (if applicable): n/a
• Node.js version: 8.12

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Please include code that reproduces the issue.

#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
console.log('loaded puppeteer');
(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    console.log('launched puppeteer');
    console.log(await browser.userAgent());
    console.log(await browser.version());
    console.log(await browser.wsEndpoint());
    console.log(await process.versions);

    browser.on('targetcreated', () => console.log('+++ Browser target created'));
    const context = await browser.createIncognitoBrowserContext();
    console.log('created context');
    const page = await context.newPage();
    console.log('created page');
    await page.goto('https://example.com');
    console.log('loaded page');
    console.log('length:'+(await page.content()).length);
    console.log('got content');
    await browser.close();
    console.log('finished');
})();

What is the expected result? On Mac with same version of Puppeteer 1.10.0:

On Linux with previous version of Puppeteer 1.9.0:

What happens instead? On same Linux with Puppeteer 1.10.0:

loaded puppeteer

  icu: '60.1',
  unicode: '10.0',
  cldr: '32.0',
  tz: '2017c' }
created context
+++ Browser target created

and then hangs with Chrome still running in the background. No other output.

Launching puppeteer with dumpio provides the following:

If anyone is still wondering about this: Im my case im not using puppeter, but through googling the error this page was a hit. (In my case im developing something based on the chromium source)

Anyway, im getting the same error while trying to run my chromium based executable through Windows WSL.

The code at fault is here: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/master/sandbox/linux/services/proc_util.cc#L97

Its the gpu sandbox that is performing this check, to see if theres open dirs on the sandboxed process before starting the sandbox.

I´ve tried a simple code, almost the same as the code from chrome to test if its a generic thing, and it turns out that launching the executable by hand return 0 on ‘fstatat()’ as expected, so i added a code to print the error linux (inside WSL) is getting to see whats happening… My guess is that is something to do with some permissions the GPU process does not have.

Will follow with the real answer to anyone also getting this error. I hope it helps.

Just a note that I’m having a similar experience as @jukra:

• also trying to test a page that uses Chart.js.
• works fine locally
• when run on CircleCI’s prebuilt Docker image circleci/ruby:2.5.1-node-browsers:
  • fails with the “Error: function timed out” errors
  • with dumpio at true, shows the same errors as @rbairwell
• downgrading to Puppeteer 1.9.0 resolves it
