Error: Unable to start Chrome

[ariel-frischer]

In AWS lambda I get this message. I can add the DEBUG variable soon to get more information.

{
  "errorType": "Error",
  "errorMessage": "Unable to start Chrome. If you have the DEBUG env variable set,there will be more in the logs.",
  "trace": [
    "Error: Unable to start Chrome. If you have the DEBUG env variable set,there will be more in the logs.",
    "    at /var/task/node_modules/@serverless-chrome/lambda/dist/bundle.cjs.js:376:13",
    "    at Generator.throw (<anonymous>)",
    "    at step (/var/task/node_modules/@serverless-chrome/lambda/dist/bundle.cjs.js:311:193)",
    "    at /var/task/node_modules/@serverless-chrome/lambda/dist/bundle.cjs.js:311:404",
    "    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)"
  ]
}

+1 Same here.

Trying to install and deploy the exempel https://github.com/adieuadieu/serverless-chrome/tree/master/examples/serverless-framework/aws.
Only change made was a downgrade of serverless-plugin-chrome from "1.0.0-69" to "1.0.0-55.3" because the source was not found.

After deployment the pdf function throws Error 500, and here are the logs with DEBUG variable.

Anyone does know how to fix this?

No apparent Fix.
Anyone fixed it?

[nealshail]

+1 here too, I'm getting a message

libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file

[ghost]

I've pre-compiled Lambda layers for various stable Chromium versions that work on AWS Lambda (they include the .so file mentioned above). They are available for download here.

Instead of fixing this, we can just use native chromium with certain conditions, JFYI.
