add ->newHeadless()

[medilies]

I installed Puppeteer in the project and applied your solutions. Now I have a new error.

        ->setNpmBinary('C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm')

[JonathanAspeling]

Nice thanks - that newHeadless() call solved the warning so I can better focus on the error. Delving deeper.

[vpozniak]

You had two mistakes, one was fixed and the other was left
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it
This error is present in Windows

[medilies]

I suspect it is related to the web server process permissions since the same code runs on Tinker with 0 problems.

I'll try the following:

• Run the same Laravel sample on Docker.
• Run the same Laravel sample on Windows but serve it via Apache.
• Try Browsershot in a web context but without Laravel.

And see how I can dig this.

[medilies]

The second approach worked after setting Chrome's path.

    $content = Browsershot::html('<h1>Hello world!!</h1>')
        // ->setNodeBinary('C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe')
        // ->setNpmBinary('C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm')
        ->setChromePath("C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe")
        // ->setNodeModulePath('C:\Users\ilies\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules')
        ->newHeadless()
        ->base64pdf();

[AndreaB93]

I've THE SAME issue in Windows with Laragon.
I've also tested same configuration in WSL and i've got same issue.
It's incredible that seem working only on a Mac...

[medilies]

It is related to deployment and not the package. Can you share the error you got?

[AndreaB93]

In my local env i've got same error of your first post.
I've tried with your latest setting of Chrome but still not working.
Also, if working good on dev on Windows with that settings i think that i need to change path etc in prod/dev env with Linux and is not a good thing to do imho

[medilies]

First, Puppeteer needs to be installed in the Laravel project.

If that is done. try to serve Laravel using apache instead of artisan serve.

[AndreaB93]

Puppeteer is installed correctly in Laragon env and also in Windows dev (both globally and in project as suggested in Spatie guide).
I've already tried with both and i've got same error with Apache (served by Laragon) and with serve in the terminal.
With WSL i've used Nginx but with same result.
PHP version is 8.2, Node version is 18 as requirement.
The point is, even if I can make it run locally on windows, how can I make it stable in production on Linux (AWS Beanstalk Amazon Linux2)? Thanks for your help :)

[medilies]

I'm making a guess since operations aren't my strength. But I guess you should dig deeper into the permissions of the process user. For example www-data (apache on Ubuntu) should be able to locate executables and execute them.

[lance2k]

My friend on windows xampp had the same problem, were you able to fix this?

[medilies]

Try to set all paths explicitly or put env vars in the system instead of the user.

[JonathanAspeling]

I have been following along! I'm running via Laragon on Windows.

Currently hitting these issues after changing/updating according to the thread/s above

ERROR: The process with PID 9200 (child process of PID 22168) could not be terminated. Reason: The operation attempted is not supported.

[JonathanAspeling]

Unfortunately- couldn't resolve. Will work around it.

[medilies]

Hi @JonathanAspeling. Sorry, but I cannot make sense of the log you shared. idk what PID refers to, but I am sure that it is related to the environment and not the library.

The only help I can give is suggesting to run your project within docker or switching to another chrome-based PDF generation library (see, https://github.com/chrome-php/chrome and https://github.com/gotenberg/gotenberg-php)

[JonathanAspeling]

Thank you for sharing - agreed with you - I've got something strange on my Local host.

As much as I could gather is that it might be a firewall/permission issue preventing Puppeteer from killing the chromium browser it opens to render the PDF from. But at this stage I'm not sure if it will take me 30 mins or 99 years to get through haha 😂😅

I'm shortly done with Laragon based env's and over to docker! It's been a wild ride trying to keep my local env ohk with the rest of the team who are Mac based.
