Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

  • Puppeteer version: 1.6.1
  • Platform / OS version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (i686)
  • Node.js version: 8.11.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. npm i puppeteer
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();

What is the expected result?

Working chrome

What happens instead?

(node:14901) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Failed to launch chrome! /var/www/spiderman/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-575458/chrome-linux/chrome: 1: /var/www/spiderman/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-575458/chrome-linux/chrome: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

If i manually run that chrome, it says cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

@kingio Chromium is compiled for x86_64, which I believe is not runnable on i686.

We don't have any 32 bit builds, and there are no plans to add any. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Shouldn't puppeteer do a requirement check before installing itself? You would avoid issues like this

@kingio this would be nice to have; I'd be happy to review a PR.

Actually, we should rather do this in runtime on pptr.launch and only for the default binary: someone might specify custom executable path.

Oh wow... I've been trying to get this to work for hours... I kept thinking i had forgotten to place a parenthesis somewhere .-.

Looks like in node, os.arch() will return the architecture of the node process, not of the OS. See here.

Would it be safe to assume that the 32bit version of node should not be able to launch Chromium?

Otherwise, I can basically do what this library does to detect the architecture of the OS.

what happened here still no solutions ?
I like the solution of @bdurrani but I think it will not work on all architectures and the library should be maintained regularly on every new architecture.

I am having problems with launching browser too. Can puppeteer work with 32 bit chromium by changing the executablePath :
executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser'?
