[BUG] Protocol Mismatch

[IqroNegoro]

Environment

• chromium Version: 123.0.1
• puppeteer / puppeteer-core Version: 22.6.5
• Node.js Version: 18.16.0
• Lambda / GCF Runtime: 18.20.2

Expected Behavior

Puppeteer launched normally ( i run it at local first )

Current Behavior

Error: protocol mismatch after a while

Steps to Reproduce

the code is exactly same as example remote-min-binary

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer-core");
const chromium = require("@sparticuz/chromium-min");

const handler = async () => {
  try {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
      args: chromium.args,
      defaultViewport: chromium.defaultViewport,
      executablePath: await chromium.executablePath(
        "https://github.com/Sparticuz/chromium/releases/download/v123.0.1/chromium-v123.0.1-pack.tar"
      ),
      headless: chromium.headless,
      ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
    });

    const page = await browser.newPage();

    await page.goto("https://www.example.com", { waitUntil: "networkidle0" });

    console.log("Chromium:", await browser.version());
    console.log("Page Title:", await page.title());

    await page.close();

    await browser.close();
  } catch (error) {
    throw new Error(error.message);
  }
};

handler().then(() => console.log("Done"));

As i searched again, this package chromium-min is just for linux, is it true? can i used it in windows? i want to deploy it at netlify server cuz it limit was 50mb, then i try to using chromium-min and use external chromium (your github tar exactly), but it cannot launched as it normally
thx.

same issue here, regardless if I use my own hosted version on azure blob storage or the github one:

async function getBrowser() {
    if (process.env.VERCEL_ENV === "production") {
        // Production settings on Vercel using the -min package
        const chromiumPackUrl = "https://privateblobstoragename.blob.core.windows.net/chromium-binaries/chromium-v121.0.0-pack.tar";
        const executablePath = await chromium.executablePath(chromiumPackUrl);
        return puppeteerCore.launch({
            args: chromium.args,
            defaultViewport: chromium.defaultViewport,
            executablePath,
            headless: chromium.headless, // true on server environments
        });
    } else {
        // Local development settings
        const localExecutablePath = process.env.CHROME_EXECUTABLE_PATH || 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe';
        return puppeteerCore.launch({
            executablePath: localExecutablePath,
            headless: true, // Set to false if you need a GUI
            args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'],
        });
    }
}

I get this:

  expected: 'https:',
  operator: '==',
  page: '/api/generate-pdf'
}

on this line:

const executablePath = await chromium.executablePath(chromiumPackUrl);

running on localhost

the fact that it says

code: 'ERR_ASSERTION',
actual: 'c:',
expected: 'https:',
operator: '==',
page: '/api/generate-pdf'

with expected being https: and actual being c: makes it look like it is trying to access a local file, while the value of the chromiumPackUrl really is an https link

I have double checked the npm installed version is 121.0.0. Also tried with 123.0.1 as module and as tar file --> same result

Finally I choose "Render" to host my App. You should use a Dockerfile to init Puppeteer. It was the only solution for this problem.

Reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cm6G78ZDmM&t=1s

FROM ghcr.io/puppeteer/puppeteer:22.10.0

ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true \
    PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
CMD [ "node", "api/index.js" ]```

same issue pls

This package is for Linux only. It will not work on windows.
