PHP chrome-php / headless-chromium-php error

Question

I have been using the chrome-php & headless-chromium libraries for few months without any issues but now I get this error. Does anyone know why this would start happening? Thanks.

Answer 1

I also just stumbled upon this issue. As @ottenhoff mentioned, downgrading to the earlier version works well.

For anybody else encountering this issue. Below are instruction on how to set a specific version for deb Ubuntu.

CHROME_VERSION=110.0.5481.96-1
wget --no-check-certificate https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb
dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb || apt -y -f install
rm google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb;

IF you are runnning this in a docker image use the below:

ENV CHROME_VERSION=110.0.5481.96-1
RUN curl -LO https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb
RUN dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb || apt -y -f install
RUN rm google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb;

I hope this helps...
