puppeteer: Chrome fails to launch in Firebase Functions

With the update for node 6, attempting to get this to work in FBF but Chrome is failing to launch because of libpangocairo dependency.

Is there a separate process for running on fbf?

Error: Failed to launch chrome!
/user_code/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-496140/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@labnol there’s been no movement on the Firebase side AFAIK. They’re considering adding the required deps to the images.

I have another missing dependency on firebase functions: libX11-xcb.so

@ebidel, if you hear any new developments re: adding required dependencies to firebase images, it would be great if you could post an update to this issue so that subscribers can get notified if/when this happens. Thanks!

@ebidel @kylewill i was also looking into cloud functions as a method to deploy puppeteer. I was looking for a service where I only pay for the usage. App Engine flex charges you regardless.
