Unable to launch chromium in debian:bullseye-slim docker container

[subash-krishnappa]

Rod Version: v0.114.1

Am trying to launch chromium in docker container, have used a dockerFile to download the dependency:

partial content of DockerFile:
RUN wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
RUN apt -y install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

RUN apt -y install chromium

Code snippet to get binary

But i get an error as below

But the same test when triggered locally works perfectly fine, kindly guide me if thrs any configs that am missing here?

Code to launch chromium:

Please provide reproducible code.

I have created a sample project for reproducing the issue, its accessible at:

Please check this: https://go-rod.github.io/#/compatibility?id=os

[subash-krishnappa]

i did refer to the link provided, and have included the instructions to install chrome, this is my updated docker file:

docker image is built using the command:
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 --tag rod-test:latest . -f ./Dockerfile

But still facing the same error:

Same has been updated in the sample project:

Please read: https://go-rod.github.io/#/custom-launch?id=the-launcher-lib

func main() {
    path, _ := launcher.LookPath()
    u := launcher.New().Bin(path).MustLaunch()
    rod.New().ControlURL(u).MustConnect().MustPage("https://example.com")
}

[subash-krishnappa]

Update the code to look for existing chrome path :

package sample

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"testing"
	"time"

	"github.com/go-rod/rod"
	"github.com/go-rod/rod/lib/launcher"
)

func TestSampleRodSetup(t *testing.T) {

	path, err := launcher.LookPath()
	if err != false {
		log.Println(err)
	}
	debugUrl := launcher.New().
		Bin(path).
		Devtools(false).
		Headless(true).
		Leakless(false).
		NoSandbox(true).
		MustLaunch()
	log.Println(debugUrl)

	browser := rod.New().ControlURL(debugUrl).MustConnect().Context(context.Background())
	browser.SlowMotion(time.Second * 1)
	browser.Trace(true)

	page := browser.MustPage("https://www.wikipedia.org/")

	page.MustElement("#searchInput").MustInput("earth")
	page.MustElement("#search-form > fieldset > button").MustClick()

	time.Sleep(time.Second * 3)
	page.Close()
	browser.Close()
}

Locally it works fine here is the console output

Docker file contents remains the same:

RUN chmod +x rod-test

but it still fails in container with the error below:

[ysmood]

Why not just run the chromium on your container without rod? I think it doesn't matter you use rod or not.

As the link I sent to you in previous comment:

On some platforms, you might need to install the browser manually, Rod can't guarantee the auto-downloaded browser will always work. If you want Rod to support a platform, please raise an issue for it.

[subash-krishnappa]

Does it mean, instead of installing a google-chrome stable, just install chromium & chromium-browser in docker container?
Coz i would still need rod to perform web automation, Please confirm?

[ysmood]

It means you have to make sure chrome works on your OS, not rod.

[subash-krishnappa]

This issue stands resolved, Thanks @ysmood for your inputs..
