i’m trying to generate pdf file for this service i’m building with typescript. now everything works locally but i can’t deploy it to AWS as it exceeds the lambda limit. now i am trying to dockerize it and it get’s deployed but throws the following error.

"Failed to launch the browser process!n/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-1036745/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorynnnTROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.mdn"

this is where it fails

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    args: args,
    ignoreDefaultArgs: ['--disable-extensions'],
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

and here is my Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:14.2022.09.09.11
ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/var/task"

# Create function directory
RUN mkdir -p ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Copy package.json
COPY package.json ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Install NPM dependencies for function
RUN npm install

# Copy handler function and tsconfig
COPY . ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Compile ts files
RUN npm run build

# Set the CMD to your handler
CMD [ "dist/src/generate.pdf" ]

i did a workaround from here so i changed my Dockerfile as below

FROM node:latest
RUN apt-get install -y 
    fonts-liberation 
    gconf-service 
    libappindicator1 
    libasound2 
    libatk-1.0
    libatk1.0-0 
    libcairo2 
    libcups2 
    libfontconfig1 
    libgbm-dev 
    libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 
    libgtk-3-0 
    libicu-dev 
    libjpeg-dev 
    libnspr4 
    libnss3 
    libpango-1.0-0 
    libpangocairo-1.0-0 
    libpng-dev 
    libx11-6 
    libx11-xcb1 
    libxcb1 
    libxcomposite1 
    libxcursor1 
    libxdamage1 
    libxext6 
    libxfixes3 
    libxi6 
    libxrandr2 
    libxrender1 
    libxss1 
    libxtst6 
    xdg-utils 
    chromium-browser

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:14.2022.09.09.11
ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/var/task"

# Create function directory
RUN mkdir -p ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Copy package.json
COPY package.json ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Install NPM dependencies for function
RUN npm install

RUN chmod -R o+rwx node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium


# Copy handler function and tsconfig
COPY . ${FUNCTION_DIR}

# Compile ts files
RUN npm run build

# Set the CMD to your handler
CMD [ "dist/src/generate.pdf" ]

and my code as below

export async function generatePdf(
  file: FileType,
  options?: OptionsProps,
  callback?: CallBackType
) {
  let args = [
    '--no-sandbox',
    '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
    '--disable-gpu',
  ];

  if (options?.args) {
    args = options.args;
    delete options.args;
  }

  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: args,
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome',
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

now i'm getting another error

"Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /usr/bin/google-chrome ENOENTnnnTROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.mdn"

if i remove the executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome' then still getting error but diffferent one

"Failed to launch the browser process!n/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-1036745/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directorynnnTROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.mdn"

(Edit)

i, then found another solution here

so i changed my Dockerfile

FROM kinlan/puppets:latest

# Copy the app
COPY . /app/
#COPY local.conf /etc/fonts/local.conf
WORKDIR app
RUN npm i && npm run build

# Add user so we don't need --no-sandbox.
RUN groupadd -r pptruser && useradd -r -g pptruser -G audio,video pptruser 
    && mkdir -p /home/pptruser/Downloads 
    && chown -R pptruser:pptruser /home/pptruser 
    && chown -R pptruser:pptruser ./node_modules

# Run everything after as non-privileged user.
USER pptruser

EXPOSE 8084
ENTRYPOINT ["dumb-init", "--"]
CMD ["node", "dist/src/generate"]

and my code as same before

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: true,
    args: [
    '--no-sandbox',
    '--headless',
    '--disable-gpu',
    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
  ];,
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',
  });

and now i get a different error

now i have tried another solution from here

my Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:14

RUN yum install -y wget unzip libX11

and my code

export async function generatePdf(

  let args = [

  ];

  if (options?.args) {
    args = options.args;
    delete options.args;
  }

  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    args: args,
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome',
  });

and i get this error "Protocol error (Target.setAutoAttach): Target closed."

updated my Dockerfile
i’m using a build and copying to my own build

ARG FUNCTION_DIR="/function"
FROM node:slim as build-image
ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true
ARG FUNCTION_DIR
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install gnupg wget -y &&

but getting this error:
"Failed to launch the browser process! spawn /usr/bin/google-chrome ENOENTnnnTROUBLESHOOTING: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.mdn"

A Working example…

Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:latest

ENV PATH /opt/node_app/node_modules/.bin:$PATH
ENV NODE_ENV production
ENV AWS_NODEJS_CONNECTION_REUSE_ENABLED 1
ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD true

RUN yum install wget curl -y
RUN wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
RUN yum install ./google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm -y

COPY package.json ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
COPY server.js ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}

RUN npm install
RUN npm cache clean --force

CMD [ "server.main" ]

Puppeteer config

const options = {
    executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome',
    args: [
        '--disable-extensions',
        '--no-sandbox',
        '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
        '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
        '--disable-gpu'
    ]
};
