AWS Lambda Puppeteer

Question

Since 2 weeks in lost time I try to install Puppeteer on AWS Lambda without success.

I have try: https://github.com/sambaiz/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit and https://github.com/deathemperor/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit

My final code is: https://github.com/sambaiz/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit

Replace index.js: https://github.com/sambaiz/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit/blob/master/src/index.js

By: https://github.com/deathemperor/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit/blob/master/src/index.js

Also, i'm on windows 7 so to build the package I remove/change a lot of stuff on the package.json for scripts sections. I have create package with and without babel and lint. Also, I have try with different version of puppeteer and chronium.

Someone suggest me to fix the version of puppeteer to 1.1.1 without success. See( TheCat and cirdes ): https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/323

I always get this error on aws:

{
    "errorMessage": "Failed to launch chrome! spawn /tmp/headless_shell ENOENT\n\n\nTROUBLESHOOTING: [...]",
    "errorType": "Error",
    "stackTrace": [
        "",
        "",
        "TROUBLESHOOTING:[..]",
        "",
        "onClose (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:299:14)",
        "ChildProcess.helper.addEventListener.error (/var/task/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Launcher.js:290:64)",
        "emitOne (events.js:116:13)",
        "ChildProcess.emit (events.js:211:7)",
        "Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:196:12)",
        "onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:372:16)",
        "_combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:138:11)",
        "process._tickDomainCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:218:9)"
    ]
}

Config AWS: I use "Upload a file from Amazon S3" option because it always finish by timeout with the UI and same thing for CLI command.

Runtime: Node.js 8.10

Handler: index.handler

Executable role: lambda_basic_execution. I have also try with a custom role who have full access on lambda and S3 just in case.

TimeOut: 30 sec

Memory: 3008 mb.

If someone can guide me a little bit.

I finally managed to deploy the sambaiz package. Also I updated the chronium to the lasted stable version( HeadlessChrome/68.0.3440.106 ) and last version of puppeteer ( 1.7.0 ).

If you want to build your own package and you are on windows you can:

1. Download: https://github.com/sambaiz/puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit
2. Change package.json by mine:

    {
      "name": "puppeteer-lambda-starter-kit",
      "version": "1.1.2",
      "description": "Starter Kit for running Headless-Chrome by Puppeteer on AWS Lambda",
      "scripts": {
        "package": "npm run package-prepare",
        "package-prepare": "npm run babel && copy package.json dist && cd dist && npm config set puppeteer_skip_chromium_download true -g && npm install --production",
        "babel": "mkdir dist && \"./node_modules/.bin/babel\" src --out-dir dist",
        "local": "npm run babel && copy node_modules dist && node dist/starter-kit/local.js",
        "package-nochrome": "npm run package-prepare && cd dist && zip -rq ../package.zip ."
      },
      "dependencies": {
        "babel": "^6.23.0",
        "puppeteer": "^1.1.1",
        "tar": "^4.0.1"
      },
      "devDependencies": {
        "aws-sdk": "^2.111.0",
        "babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
        "babel-preset-env": "^1.6.0"
      }
    }

3. Change the version of node in .babelrc to 8.10
4. npm install babel ( if it's not already install )
5. npm run package
6. Copy chrome/headless_shell-67.0.3361.0.tar.gz to dist
7. Rename dist/headless_shell-67.0.3361.0.tar.gz to headless_shell.tar.gz
8. Zip the content of dist and you have your package ready to deploy
