Error string

ProtocolError: Network.enable timed out. Increase the ‘protocolTimeout’ setting in launch/connect calls for a higher timeout if needed.

Background

I have simple container that downloads and builds puppeteer on Alpine and following is the container source.

RUN apk add --no-cache \
      chromium \
      nss \
      freetype \
      harfbuzz \
      ca-certificates \
      ttf-freefont

ENV PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser

RUN addgroup -S pptruser && adduser -S -G pptruser pptruser \
    && mkdir -p /home/pptruser/Downloads /app \
    && chown -R pptruser:pptruser /home/pptruser \
    && chown -R pptruser:pptruser /app

RUN npm install puppeteer

This was working file till 20th March 2024, this is as far as I could go back, what it means that prior to 20th March 2024, the chromium version on alpine was running correctly.

Expectation

Puppeteer should work with Chromium 123.0.6312.86-r0 on Alpine, https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/chromium ,

Container image prior to this version was working correctly, I don’t know how to manually install previous chromium version on alpine to backtrack, if someone can help, I can backtrack old chromium version and get working version.

Reality

The last build of latest chromium was published on 27th March. And puppeteer does not connect to launched instance.

I can confirm that the instance launches process correctly, chromium process starts in headless mode but the node script hungs up till 180 seconds and throws following error.

ProtocolError: Network.enable timed out. Increase the 'protocolTimeout' setting in launch/connect calls for a higher timeout if needed.
